History
Past
The Usopp Pirates were formed 5 years from the start of the story. Ninjin, Tamanegi, and Piiman have joined Usopp in telling lies during that time.
Syrup Village Arc
He first appeared in Syrup Village when the Straw Hat Pirates arrive.[3] The Usopp Pirates later assist Kaya in her escape when Captain Kuro planned to kill her. They did this mainly by running and hiding from Jango, whom Kuro sent to make Kaya leave everything to him in her will.[4] After Kuro's defeat, the Usopp Pirates had a tearful disbandment when Usopp decided to be a real pirate. The children decided to continue Usopp's lies of "pirates are coming".[5]
Jango's Dance Paradise
After Usopp joined Luffy, Tamenegi, Ninjin, and Piiman found Jango in their village, so they chased him and forced him to run away.
Post Enies Lobby Arc
Tamanegi, Ninjin, and Piman were seen again after Enies Lobby was raided, reacting to Usopp's new bounty. Even though it said "Sogeking" and he was wearing a mask, they could recognize him because of his nose.[6]
From the Decks of the World
Tamanegi is seen again in Syrup Village along with his two friends, reading a newspaper about the Straw Hats.
From the Decks of the World: The 500,000,000 Man Arc
After the events at Dressrosa, Kaya and the former Usopp Pirates were overjoyed to see Usopp's new wanted poster.[7]
Translation and Dub Issues
Tamanegi's name literally means "Onion", and the translation is used as his name in the English version.
Anime and Manga Differences
Kaya and the Usopp Pirates read the news about Luffy.
In the anime Episode 512, Tamanegi was seen along with Kaya, Ninjin and Piiman, reading the news about Luffy's exploits in Marineford, after the war, something that was not shown in the original manga.[8]
