Kagikko
CharacterKagikko is the locksmith of the Krieg Pirates. A quiet crewman who survived Mihawk's slaughter on the Grand Line, he stuck with the fleet through its defeat at the Baratie.
Appearance
Kagikko is a bald man of ordinary size with a wide nose, dressed in a black-and-white striped shirt. A key juts from the top of his head, set under what looks like wax melted over his scalp.
Personality
A man of few words, Kagikko keeps to himself and speaks rarely. Even so, he shows genuine concern for his shipmates, as seen in his reaction when Pearl was beaten by Luffy and Sanji.
History
He has displayed no special combat skill, but as the crew's locksmith his expertise lies with keys and locks. Kagikko joined the Krieg Pirates and took up that trade, then sailed with them on their bid to conquer the Grand Line, where Dracule Mihawk overwhelmed the fleet on the seventh day. A storm kept the Dreadnaught Sabre from being sunk, letting the surviving hundred crewmen limp back to the East Blue, half-starved. During the clash between Luffy and Krieg, Kagikko dove into the sea to dodge Krieg's poison attacks. After Krieg's defeat, he and the rest of the crew were taken from the Baratie by Gin. In the live-action series he is treated differently, having died in Mihawk's attack and so never appearing at the Baratie. His name likely plays on the idea of a latchkey kid, kagikko in Japanese, meaning a key child.
