Kozuki Momonosuke

Character from One Piece by Eiichiro Oda

The boy shogun who traveled twenty years through time to reclaim his father's country — a crybaby who had to grow up in every sense to stand where Oden once stood.

Momonosuke is terrified and he fights anyway. That's his entire character distilled. He's an eight-year-old who watched his father boil alive, was thrown twenty years into the future, and told he has to be the shogun of Wano. He cries, he screams, he clings to adults, he peeks at women in the bath (he's eight, he gets away with it), and he insists he's fine when he obviously isn't. But when the moment demands it — when Onigashima is falling toward the Flower Capital and only he can create flame clouds large enough to hold it — he does it. He aged himself to adulthood because Wano needed a grown shogun, sacrificing his entire childhood in an instant. Now he inhabits a body twenty years older than his mind, making decisions that reshape a nation while internally still being the boy who wants his mom and dad. His relationship with Luffy echoes Oden and Roger — the inherited will made literal.

Appearance

Originally an eight-year-old boy with a topknot and traditional Wano clothing, appearing as a small, scared child out of his depth. After aging himself with Shinobu's power: tall young man resembling his father Oden, with similar strong features and flowing dark hair. In dragon form — from Vegapunk's artificial Devil Fruit — a long pink Eastern dragon that eventually grows to enormous size, capable of flight via flame clouds. The contrast between who he was and who he had to become is written in his body.

Also known as: Momonosuke, Momo, Kozuki Momonosuke, Shogun of Wano
