Bankuro is one of the pirates who sailed under Gol D. Roger, remaining with the legendary crew right up to the day it broke apart. What became of him after the disbandment has never been confirmed.
Standing on the shorter side with a thin frame, Bankuro is recognized by his bushy, dark mane of hair and a matching beard, along with a sharply pointed nose. His outfit consists of a dark short-sleeved top, loose pale trousers, and a dark hat from which two horns jut out. The anime gives his hair a white tone, though in episode 966 a rear view shows it brown, with the horned cap rendered as an extension of his hairstyle rather than a separate piece.
Little of Bankuro's character is documented, but two moments hint at his disposition. He broke into laughter at the sight of the riches Joy Boy had left behind on the final island of the Grand Line, and he wore a warm smile when Roger voiced his thanks toward the crew that had followed him.

Bankuro had already taken his place among the Roger Pirates roughly 42 years before the present, present when Roger announced a plan to head for Hachinosu and bring the retired Kuja Pirate Shakuyaku into the fold. About 25 years ago, when the crew finally reached the last island of the Grand Line and beheld the treasure Joy Boy had stored there, Bankuro joined his crewmates in roaring laughter. Soon after, as Roger expressed gratitude to those who had served beneath him, Bankuro smiled in appreciation of the praise. Once the Roger Pirates went their separate ways, his fate was left unrecorded.
