CharacterAkudai Kanzaburo is an arms dealer based in the Flower Capital of Wano Country. His name and his scheming deals parody the stock evil magistrate of Japanese period dramas.
Appearance
Kanzaburo wears his curly dark brown hair in a front pompadour with the back gathered into a topknot, framed by a semi-long beard and sideburns. His outfit pairs a light red kimono with dark green hakama patterned in yellow swirls, all draped under a black and purple patterned cape.

He comes across as a villainous sort, cackling with delight as he talks up the production of weapons and the wars they will fuel.
History
His standing as an arms dealer is high enough to earn him a seat at the Shogun's banquet. Kanzaburo met with Waruno Furishiro to collect his next batch of weapon orders, and when the pair spotted Nami and Shinobu eavesdropping through the ceiling, he lashed up at the intruding kunoichi with a naginata. He later turned up among the guests at Kurozumi Orochi's castle banquet.
