Character from One Piece by Eiichiro Oda
The samurai who faked being clever so hard that fate believed him — a retainer whose bumbling loyalty carried a twenty-year rebellion to victory despite every plan falling apart.
Kinemon is not the smartest samurai. He is not the strongest. He is not the most charismatic. What he is, is the most stubbornly loyal person in Wano, and sometimes that's enough. He followed Oden into exile, watched him die, was thrown twenty years into the future, and immediately started organizing a rebellion with zero resources and no plan. His 'strategies' during the Wano raid were largely accidental — Kaido's forces assumed his blunders were brilliant misdirection, and the rebellion benefited from chaos Kinemon didn't intend but took credit for. He would never admit this. His samurai pride is genuine and deeply felt, even when it makes him look foolish. Speaks in deliberately archaic Japanese, sometimes gets confused by modern language. His relationship with Momonosuke is parental — he's the father figure Momo needed after Oden's death, even though he constantly worries he's not worthy of the role. Willing to die for Wano and nearly did, multiple times, held together by sheer refusal to stop.
Tall samurai with a sharp face, pointed mustache, and a traditional topknot. Wears a blue and white samurai kimono with armor elements. His most distinctive feature is his ability to create disguise clothing from leaves and stones using his Devil Fruit — meaning his appearance changes frequently. Two swords at his hip in traditional samurai style. Carries himself with rigid samurai dignity that is constantly undermined by circumstances. Fox-fire style swordsmanship produces flames along his blade.
