He is the brother to '''Masira''' and a follower of '''Montblanc Cricket'''. He and Masira were both fans of the fairy tale concerning Cricket's ancestor, '''Montblanc Norland'''. Like his brother, he meets the Straw-Hats on bad terms and forced them to retreat when he used a sound attack that almost destroyed the [[Going Merry]]. After the Straw-Hats meet Cricket, he and Masira become more friendly with them and help modify the Merry Go so it can travel to Skypiea.

Shoujou is a large man who looks like an orangutan with long green hair. He wears a black button up shirt that is too small for his body showing off his hairy torso, a green captain's coat with his arms in the sleeves, and a green captain's hat with his personal jolly roger on the front. He also wears a belt that has the kanji for forest engraved upon it. Due to not having cut his hair in twenty five years, his hair is so long that its entire length is almost as long as Shoujou's entire body height.
