Ivankov Emporio, also known as Iva, Miracle Person, Newkama and Okama King, is a character from the One Piece series.
== Charactah Account ==
The G Army Commander of the Revolutionary Army, which focuses on the Grand Line. The former ruler of Kamabakka Kingdom, Emporio Ivankov, or Iva for short, is a transvestite known as a "Miracle Worker" for saving the lives of several people. However, because he's also an officer of the Revolutionaries trying to overthrow the World Government, he was captured and put into the world's worst prison, Impel Down. Ivankov's power comes from eating the Horm-Horm Fruit (Horu Horu no Mi), which allows him to inject hormones into the human body. These hormones can cause sex changes, increased adrenaline, bodily growth, and other things, which in his words make him an "engineer of the human body". This is the reason that he was able to heal many people from the brink of death. However, he claims he's not a "Miracle Worker," and merely allowed people with the "Will to Live" to go on. He can't help those who don't have the drive to help themselves. He is also a master of Newkama Kenpo.
Iva is flamboyant, like Mr. 2 Bon Clay, and has a habit of panicking, then saying the opposite of what he said earlier. He is very proud of being a transvestite and of the people he ruled over in a hidden level of Impel Down, even expressing his ideals about it, and doesn't care if anyone disagrees with his views. In fact, he has made enemies of people who are furious at how spreading his view has affected them personally, but doesn't seem to care about that either, and deals with them in his own, unique way.

== Trivia ==
* Ivankov's Jolly Roger, a skull with two curved arrow-headed swords behind resembling horns, reveals on further inspection both the male and female sex symbol twice on it (the female sex symbol consists of the skull's eye socket and the sword's hilt while the male symbol is the arrow-shaped sword blade and the same eye socket).
* Ivankov refers to himself as a "Newkama", as opposed to an "Okama". This is a double pun made by mixing words. It basically goes "Newhalf" (Transgender) + Okama (Crossdresser) = Newkama (Newcomer).
* The make-up is so thick on Ivankov's face that it was able to withstand a direct attack from Magellan's Hydra.
* Ivankov's prisoner number in Impel Down was 6582, which is the scientific gene identification number (Gene ID) for Homo sapiens, a.k.a. Humans.
* In the 5th, 6th, and 7th fan polls of most popular characters, Ivankov was ranked 64th, 77th, and 79th, respectively.
* Ivankov's favorite food is Horumonyaki. This probably a pun on hormones, Ivankov's power.
* Due to the controversy involving his original voice actor, Norio Imamura, Ivankov's lines were re-recorded in the Blu-ray release with his second voice actor, Mitsuo Iwata.
** This makes Ivankov the only known character whose Japanese voice actor was not replaced due to death or maternal leave.
* Ivankov's birthday, January 8, comes from his shout since 1-8 can be derived from Hee-Haw.
* Ivankov's appearance is based on Doctor Frank-n-Furter from the "Rocky Horror Show".
* Oda jokingly stated that Ivankov will rent out his hair to up to three people for 5000 a night. When he is moving and the people in his hair see an ocean, they are charged extra for an "ocean view". He also has a very comfortable room in his crown. There is also a "Face Growth Hormone" service for up to thirty people.
