Kazekage is a ninja who once served Wano's shogun Kurozumi Orochi as part of the Orochi Oniwabanshu before swearing loyalty to the Beasts Pirates. A stealthy shuriken thrower, he acts as a minor antagonist during the Wano Country Arc.
Kazekage stands at average build with wild, light brown hair that spills down past his waist. He favors a sleeveless pink kimono bearing a shuriken emblem across the chest, cinched with a light purple obi and accented by a yellow scarf. Yellow netting worn beneath the garment covers his bare arms. A scroll is almost always clenched between his teeth, though he set it aside during the Fire Festival.
While serving the Oniwabanshu, Kazekage outwardly obeyed Orochi, yet his loyalty proved shallow. Once the shogun was dead, he felt no urge to keep faith with him and was openly relieved when Fukurokuju shifted the group's allegiance to Kaidou, sparing him a hopeless fight against the Beasts Pirates.

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....

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...
Like his fellow Oniwabanshu, Kazekage commands striking stealth, able to materialize behind Nico Robin alongside his whole unit without detection, and he can cling upside down to ceilings. His declared specialty is Summoning. In combat he hurls shuriken, as he did against Robin during the attempt to capture her, and he also carries a katana that he drew during the war on Onigashima.
When O-Robi crept through Orochi Castle, Kazekage and the Oniwabanshu surfaced behind her and moved to seize her, only to find they had cornered a body double. The group later joined the clash against the Straw Hats after Yasuie's execution and accompanied Orochi to Onigashima for the Fire Festival. After Kaidou slew Orochi and demanded the ninja choose loyalty or death, Kazekage gratefully fell in line. During the alliance's all-out war, he and most of the Oniwabanshu, along with Daikoku, were defeated by the restored yakuza Hyougoro.
Kazekage's name means Wind Shadow in Japanese.
