History

Wano Country Arc

Kamekichi sold newspapers in the Flower Capital and announced the stories for the day, including ghost sightings at the northern graveyard, a attack by Kamazo in the eight block of district two, and a theft by Ushimitsu Kozo where the culprit sole from the rich and gave the money to poorer citizens. His report on Ushimitsu peaked a woman’s interest, and he sold her a paper.

Anime and Manga Differences

In the anime, Kamekichi’s scene is extended. He gives Franky a newspaper, and instead of Kamekichi shouting the news about Kamazo killing someone, Franky reads the news out loud. After announcing the news, he was surrounded by a crowd of townspeople who fervently wanted newspapers.

Trivia

• Part of Kamekichi’s name means tortoise (カメ, kame^?), likely a reference to his round, bob haircut.
