Tashigi is a Marine officer in the One Piece series. She serves as a lieutenant commander and later as a Marine captain, often working alongside Vice Admiral Smoker, with whom she shares a close professional relationship. She is passionate about swords and swordsmanship, and one of her missions is to retrieve famous swords that have fallen into the hands of those she deems unworthy, particularly pirates.
Appearance & Personality

One of the notable aspects of Tashigi’s character is her striking resemblance to Kuina, the childhood friend and rival of Roronoa Zoro, who is a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. This resemblance is never fully explained in the series, but it plays a role in Zoro’s interactions with her.
Tashigi has short black hair and wears glasses, which often slide down her nose, adding to her slightly clumsy appearance. She is typically seen in her Marine uniform, which consists of a standard-issue Marine coat, a blouse, and a skirt or pants, depending on the situation. Tashigi’s look is relatively simple and practical, fitting her role as a Marine officer.
Tashigi is earnest, diligent, and deeply committed to her role as a Marine. She strongly believes in justice and disdains pirates who misuse their power or disrespect the art of swordsmanship. Despite her strong beliefs, Tashigi is also somewhat naïve and easily flustered, especially when things are unplanned. Her clumsiness and occasional lack of confidence contrast her serious nature, making her a well-rounded and relatable character.
