CharacterKamekichi is a newspaper deliveryman working the streets of the Flower Capital in Wano. He earns his keep calling out the day's headlines, among them bulletins about Kamazo the Manslayer and the thief Ushimitsu Kozo.
Appearance
Slender of frame, Kamekichi has wide round eyes set above a broad mouth, with pointed ears and a rounded chin. His dark hair is cut into a bob and finished off with a topknot.
Personality
He throws himself into the work with real gusto, often half-singing his announcements. Treating each item like a proper headline, he poses questions to draw listeners in and build a sense of suspense around the day's stories.
History
Working the Flower Capital, Kamekichi hawked the day's edition and cried out its contents, from ghosts haunting the northern graveyard to an assault by Kamazo in the second district and a robbery by Ushimitsu Kozo, who took from the wealthy and passed the spoils to the poor. His pitch about Ushimitsu caught a passing woman's curiosity and earned him a sale.
The anime stretches the moment out, handing Franky a paper and letting him read the Kamazo story aloud, after which a crowd of eager townsfolk swarms the vendor for copies.
