Roronoa Zoro, nicknamed "Pirate Hunter" Zoro, is a fictional character in the One Piece franchise created by Eiichiro Oda.
He is one of the two swordsmen of the Straw Hat Pirates, the other being Brook. In the story, Zoro is the first to join Monkey D. Luffy after he is saved from being executed at the Marine Base. As a native to the East Blue, he came from the town known as Shimotsuki, where he trained in a dojo. He is an expert swordsman who uses three swords for his Santōryū, but is also capable of the one and two-sword styles. He seems to be more comfortable and powerful using three swords, but he also uses one sword or two swords against weaker enemies. He usually keeps his wadou ichimonji on his mouth when he performs santoryuu. Before fighting Ryumma he used to use his wadou ichimonji as his first choice for one sword style but after the fight and especially after the two-year timeskip, he uses black sword Shisui as his first choice of one sword style.
