Hiro Gomon
CharacterHiro Gomon is a whip-cracking member of the Endurance Curry Pirates, an iron-clad torture enthusiast who rides a wooden horse named Mokuba. Designed by Shaman King creator Hiroyuki Takei, he debuted in the manga during the Egghead Arc.
Appearance
Gomon has a slim dark mustache and round spectacles. His getup is built around metal: an iron helmet, an iron cape, bracelets, and shoes fashioned from iron strips, worn over baggy dark trousers.
Personality
Gomon is a sadomasochist who delights in torture, eager both to deal it out and to take it. The chance of reaching the One Piece thrills him.
History
Heavily plated in his iron cape and helmet, Gomon fights with a whip. He keeps a cherished steed called Mokuba, a horse that appears to be carved from wood, with no clear sign of whether it actually lives or moves. Alongside the rest of the Endurance Curry Pirates, he tuned in to Dr. Vegapunk's worldwide broadcast and grew excited when talk turned to the One Piece. His design comes from Hiroyuki Takei, author of Shaman King, with his headdress and cape echoing the iron maiden of that series' character Iron Maiden Jeanne.
