Charlotte Katakuri

Appearance

Katakuri is an extremely tall, large and muscular man standing in at 509 cm [5] where he stands at nearly three times Monkey D. Luffy's height and is slightly taller than his younger triplet brothers, Charlotte Daifuku and Charlotte Oven, who are incredibly tall themselves. He has short spiky crimson hair and two symmetric scars on both sides of his face. He has long legs with his thighs being equally as long as his lower limbs.[3] His mouth, which is usually covered up, contains sharp pelican eel-like teeth and is capable of expanding to an enormous size.[8] Katakuri has sharp and intense crimson eyes, highly arched eyebrows and prominent lower eyelashes under each eye. He wears a massive light ragged scarf that covers his mouth and reaches his shoulders. He also wears a torn leather vest with "CHARLOTTE" on the back that exposes most of his torso, dark gloves and pants, a belt with a skull-shaped buckle and spiked boots with spurs. His torso is very defined, having prominent abdominal muscles covered in pink tattoos and he wears spiked bracelets on his arms as well as knee pads with a single spike on them. In the anime, Katakuri wore a dark cloak when arriving at the Whole Cake Chateau. As a child, Katakuri wore a dark torn jacket and dark pants without a scarf. It was only after Charlotte Brûlée was attacked that he decided to cover his mouth.

Personality

Katakuri is a calm, serious and diligent man who devotes himself to protecting his family and crew and achieving their objectives. He frequently uses his advanced Kenbunshoku Haki to quickly address any problems or threats that he foresees, and whenever possible he will work to change the future he foresees and stop the problem before it happens.[1] Katakuri makes sure to waste no time in accomplishing his tasks; when his older brother Charlotte Perospero was gloating to the captured Vinsmoke Family, Katakuri told him to hurry and shoot them immediately.[10] Katakuri is quite brutal when attacking opponents to ensure they are quickly neutralized and will use his weapons to inflict gruesome wounds with impunity.[1][11] Katakuri's haste to resolve problems can sometimes work against him, though, as his attempts to change the future may not achieve his intended result.[12] Katakuri is almost always calm even in the most perilous of situations, as it is necessary for his mind to be clear in order to utilize Kenbunshoku Haki.[13] If he is taken by surprise or foresees something terrible in the future, he is shown to lose color on his face and he may sometimes shout, but he does not panic. Katakuri takes his status as the strongest subordinate of Big Mom quite seriously and makes the effort to maintain the appearance of perfection that his siblings and crewmates consider him to have, particularly by never lying on his back in public.[23] However, he has been shown to silence siblings who are heaping excessive amounts of praise onto him.

He also get on well with his brothers, who eat donuts with him and show no disgust towards his mouth. However, after being casted out by Katakuri, the bullies scarred the face of Charlotte Brûlée as their vendetta against Katakuri. Katakuri was shocked by this, realizing that it was because of his own ignorance that his beloved sister got hurt. Because of this, he took to wearing a massive ragged light scar to hide his mouth from others. Wearing his scarf, Katakuri slained all of the bullies who harmed his sister, and he started to feel ashamed of his mouth due to his guilt towards Brûlée, covering it with his scarf all the time. As a result of Katakuri's protective nature, Brûlée holds her brother in high regards, deeming him as perfect and shows no disgust towards Katakuri's mouth.
