Background / History

Katakuri initially distrusts Bright and fights him alongside his brother Cracker. Bright later urges him to grow stronger outside Charlotte Linlin's influence. During one of Linlin's rampages, Katakuri tries to protect his siblings but cannot stop her; Bright intervenes before Linlin's Soul Spell can take his soul. On a subsequent voyage to Elbaf, Katakuri begins confronting his fear of his mother and removes the scarf he normally wears over his face 157 168 213 216.

As Linlin moves toward conflict with Bright, Katakuri decides that her rule endangers the Charlotte Family. He rallies siblings including Cracker, Smoothie, Owen, and Daifuku, then holds back their forces during Linlin and Kaido's battle against the Red Hair Pirates. After the fighting exhausts Linlin, Katakuri challenges and defeats her. He becomes King of Whole Cake Island and gives Bright the Road Poneglyph rubbings Bright sought 356 359 362 364 365 369.

Katakuri continues to govern Whole Cake Island and protect his siblings. He destroys the falling Queen Mama Chant before it can strike the island, seeks Bright's help when Lola goes missing, and later keeps Brulee close during the war involving the World Government. Though he outwardly agrees to cooperate with the government, he ultimately supports the effort to overthrow it 369 401 411 594.

Appearance

Katakuri is slightly taller than Bright and usually keeps his face covered 124 168.

• Scarf — He does not remove it at the Tea Party, but later shows his face to Tesoro on the voyage to Elbaf 124 216.

Personality

Katakuri is calm and deliberate, especially under pressure. He is deeply protective of his siblings, yet for much of his life he fears Linlin and doubts his ability to oppose her. His rebellion is carefully prepared: he gathers support, anticipates her Soul Spell, and chooses a moment when she has been weakened in battle 213 216 356 362 364 366.

His friendship with Bright does not erase his duty to the Charlotte Family. When Zephyr's expansion threatens its territory, Katakuri warns Bright and asks him to address it rather than ignore the family's interests 284.
