Sakazuki

Sakazuki, also known as Akainu, is a character from the One Piece series.
== Charactah Account ==
Akainu was one of the three Admirals (before being promoted to Fleet Admiral), the strongest fighters in the Marines. Akainu is apparently the most hard-line of the Marines, following the doctrine of Absolute Justice. During the destruction of Ohara, he destroyed an evacuee ship full of civilians on the small chance that one of their targets was aboard, saying that if one is to do a job it must be done thoroughly.
During the two years that Luffy was training, he battled Aokiji for the rank of Fleet Admiral and won. He then moved to the Marine HQ to the other side of the Red Line to put more Marine presence in the New World.

== Trivia ==
* The way Sakazuki's character design is drawn resembles the famous late Japanese actor, Bunta Sugawara. Akainu's real name, Sakazuki, is apparently based on the three movies of Bunta Sugawara with "Sakazuki" in the title. Even Sakazuki's birthday is based on Sugawara's.
* His favorite foods are white rice and red pepper.
* His nickname, along with the other admirals' (Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru), are taken from Momotarou legends (Momotarou met Pheasant, Dog, and Monkey as friends to accompany him in his journey).
* According to an interview with Eiichiro Oda, Sakazuki is so strong that, if he were to become the protagonist, he could end the One Piece series within a year.
* In the 5th fan poll, Sakazuki ranked 47th.
* Before his full appearance was revealed, many non-canon sources had attempted to depict Sakazuki after the timeskip, which would later turn out to be highly inaccurate to his actual appearance in the manga. In these sources, his face is depicted as being totally intact, as well as having identical attire to the clothing he wore before the timeskip in non-canon sources, including One Piece Film: Z, Wake up!, Hard Knock Days and Super Grand Battle. In One Piece Film: Gold, Sakazuki is depicted with the scars on his face but he still wears his pre-timeskip clothing.
* In the spin-off manga One Piece: Kobiyama Who Looks Like Koby - Two Piece in a Pod, one of the characters, Akaishi Papa, is a man who resembles Sakazuki.
