Ikkaku (Wano)
CharacterIkkaku is a sumo commentator working in Bakura Town within Wano Country. He provides the running play-by-play for the matches dominated by the yokozuna Urashima.
Appearance
Of ordinary height, Ikkaku ties his blonde hair into a topknot that sweeps upward at the front. He favors a black kimono decorated with red leaf-shaped motifs and keeps a pair of sunglasses over his eyes.
Personality
Brimming with enthusiasm, Ikkaku narrates every bout and every feat of Urashima in lavish detail. He clearly admires the champion, going so far as to call O-Kiku's supposed engagement to Urashima a tremendous honor.
Abilities
Ikkaku relies on a Smart Tanishi, a snail-based device he speaks into so that his commentary carries across the entire crowd. In the Wano Country Arc he announced the sumo matches as Urashima crushed every challenger. When the yokozuna publicly declared his attraction to a woman named O-Kiku in the audience, Ikkaku and the spectators were thrilled, only to be left stunned when she answered by slicing off Urashima's topknot. His design and demeanor are thought to nod to the World Tournament Announcer from the Dragon Ball series.
