Yamato's gender identity is a topic of much debate among One Piece fans, as there is evidence for both sides. Some believe Yamato to be female, as indicated by the introduction box labeling them as Kaidou's daughter. Others, however, interpret certain indicators, such as Yamato's unwillingness to use a women's bath, and being referred to as "Kaidou's son" as proof of Yamato identifying as a man. Despite the ongoing debate, the official translations and this wiki refer to Yamato as male. It's important to note that despite rumors the creator, Eiichiro Oda, has not yet commented directly on Yamato's gender identity, leaving it open to interpretation.
