Roronoa Zoro is a major character in the Japanese manga and anime series *One Piece*. He is the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates and the first member to join the crew. Zoro is known for his incredible swordsmanship and his unique Santoryu (Three Sword Style) fighting style. His dream is to become the world's greatest swordsman. He has short green hair, three gold earrings in his left ear, and often wears a black bandana on his head during serious battles. Zoro has a strong sense of loyalty and determination, though he is also notoriously stubborn and has a terrible sense of direction. He is known for his rivalry with the crew's cook, Sanji, but they often cooperate in battle. As a child, Zoro promised his friend Kuina to become the world's best swordsman, and after her death, he inherited her sword, Wado Ichimonji, and continued on his journey. He was once a bounty hunter before joining the Straw Hat Pirates and became one of the captain's most trusted allies. Zoro is one of the Straw Hat crew's key combatants, possessing immense sword skills and the ability to use Haki.
