Personality
Few details of Anba's character are recorded beyond his unwavering devotion to the Kouzuki line. That faith refused to bend, surviving both his blindness and the wider collapse of Oden's standing. He insisted his belief held firm precisely because he could no longer witness the lord dancing in disgrace.
History
A quarter century ago, Anba was among the throng of Kouzuki loyalists present when Oden confronted Orochi and Kaidou within the palace. During the standoff, poisoned arrows struck two bystanders at random, Anba being one of them. He crumpled to the ground coughing blood, and the toxin left him without his vision. Over the five years that followed, as the people of Wano lost their faith in Oden, Anba clung to his conviction, reasoning that he was spared the sight of the lord's humiliation. What became of him in the present day is not known.
