Gancho rules the Tontatta Kingdom as its king, a title his people render as Tonta-Chief. Father to Mansherry, he led the dwarves through their fight to break free of the Donquixote Family's grip on Dressrosa.
Like the rest of the dwarves, Gancho is tiny and sports a big fluffy tail, though he stands out for lacking the pointed nose common to his kind. He has long hair paired with a lengthy beard, and dresses in royal fashion, a sizable crown, a robe, and sunglasses, leaning on a walking stick to move about.
True to dwarf nature, Gancho is remarkably gullible and trusting, ready to take almost anyone at their word even with no real acquaintance. That same naive faith is what once let Doflamingo deceive his people into doubting the Riku Family.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

As king, Gancho presumably shares his people's gifts of strength, agility, and a knack for growing any plant, along with the authority to govern. When the dwarves were examining Robin, he demanded to know why Leo had released her, but accepted Leo's word that she was good and warmly introduced himself, noting how rarely they meet a "Big Human" up close.
His dwarves took Usopp at face value as Mont Blanc Noland's heroic descendant and rallied behind him for the assault on the Donquixote Family. Gancho recounted the kingdom's nine-hundred-year history with Dressrosa, detailing the centuries of enslavement and the Riku Family's liberation of his people, and vowed they would never be chained again, fighting for the five hundred kin still held captive, his daughter Mansherry among them. After Doflamingo's fall he granted Leo's group permission to join Luffy's Grand Fleet, and once Riku Doldo III reclaimed the throne, he presented himself and Mansherry to the citizens of Dressrosa.
