Appearance

Cho is a woman of average height with fair skin and dark indigo hair styled into an elaborate Torobin Shimada that curves like a butterfly, a few loose curls trailing over her right eye. Faint lavender flower tattoos mark her right shoulder and upper arm, and she favors mascara and lipstick. Her white furisode carries burning mitsudomoe motifs along the sleeves and hem; she leaves her right arm out of its sleeve to rest on her obi and binds her chest with sarashi. The anime initially kept that arm covered, hiding the tattoo and bindings, before later matching the manga.

Personality

As a boss she commanded the loyalty of her Ringo followers and worked easily alongside the other yakuza leaders of her day. She reserves particular deference for Hyougoro, obeying the elder's orders and rounding on anyone who slights him, a sign of how highly she prizes respect and expects it returned in kind.

History

Cho rose to lead the Ringo yakuza, and when the Beasts Pirates seized Wano she refused to bow, landing in the Prisoner Mine at Udon. Luffy's prison revolt set her loose along with the others. She joined the Weapon Recovery Squad in Ringo, decoding Shimotsuki Yasuie's final message, then helped tally and rally the rebel forces ahead of the assault. When the regime cut the bridges between regions, the fighters instead gathered at Habu Port and sailed out with the Nine Red Scabbards. Inside Onigashima she took a Beasts Pirates disguise from Kin'emon, rode with the eastern forces, and aided Eustass Kid and Killer once open war broke out, with the yakuza leaders setting their sights on the Tobiroppo and later guarding Chopper as he mass-produced the Ice Oni antidote. After the alliance won, she joined the celebrations and, weeks on, returned to Ringo beside the region's new daimyo Kikunojo, guiding Yamato to a shrine honoring Kouzuki Moria.
