Yasopp

Yasopp, known as "Chaser", is one of the Senior Officers and the sniper of the Red Hair Pirates. He is also the father of Usopp and the widower of Banchina.
==Appearance==
His appearance is very similar to his son, Usopp. However, his shorter nose and blond hair do not match Usopp's longer nose and darker hair, both of which are hereditary traits of Usopp's mother. Twenty years ago, Yasopp had the same tight curls and black hair as Usopp, and in Romance Dawn, his hair was styled in loose waves, but later appearances show him with it in dreadlocks. In addition to that, his body was slimmer while in his latest appearance, it seems to have become more muscular.
His name was written on his headband, while in his latest appearance, he has no headband, and his name is written on his upper right arm. During his time in Foosha Village, he wore a dark-blue shirt, dark-green pants reaching down to his calves, and blue shoes with buckles on them. He donned his headband at this time. At Marineford, he sports a dark A-shirt, short pants, standard boots, and a large belt with a bag attached to it. There is also a little necklace around his neck. He retains his trademark star-patterned cape, and he has his rifle attached to his back via a band.

==Personality==
He shares many personality traits with his son, including being able to encourage the rest of his crew to join in with his fun. He is very proud of his son, Usopp, to the point where he would often talk about his son over and over again to Luffy, which led Luffy to recognize Usopp on sight from Yasopp's stories alone. During his time in Luffy's village, Yasopp felt close to Luffy because he is the same age as his son whom he left at home.
==Relationships==
===Family===
====Usopp====
Yasopp is Usopp's father. Usopp does not know much about his father, only that he is a member of Shanks' pirate crew. Even though Yasopp abandoned Usopp as a baby to become a pirate, he genuinely loves his son. This feeling is mutual, as Usopp loves, admires, respects and is very proud of his father for being a pirate. When Kuro insulted his father, Usopp punched him with all his strength and declared that he had nothing but pure pride in his father being a pirate, and who was very proud to be the son of a pirate. It is said by Merry back at Syrup Village that Usopp started lying that pirates were coming to the village, hoping that his father would come back when his mother fell ill. While the Red-Haired Pirates were docked at Windmill Village, Yasopp often spoke fondly of his son to a young Monkey D. Luffy. Usopp greatly respects his father and has inherited his phenomenal marksmanship.
It was later revealed that Yasopp now knows about his son being a member of the Straw Hat Pirates to the point where he is nervous about reuniting with him.
====Banchina====
Banchina was Yasopp's wife. Banchina was the one who persuaded her husband to leave home and fulfill his dream to become a pirate. He did so and left her and their son to join Shanks twelve years ago. Banchina was proud of her husband and admired his courage.

==Major Battles==
*Red Hair Pirates vs. Kaidou and King (unseen)
*Red Hair Pirates vs. Kid Pirates (unseen)
===Filler Battles ===
*Yasopp vs. Daddy Masterson
== Early Concepts==
Yasopp seems to have been the final draft of a headband wearing crew member that appeared in several panels in the original Romance Dawn. Yasopp also has a similar pose in a panel that was reused in the final version. The panel was mirrored in the final version, so Yasopp is on the opposite side of his Romance Dawn V.1 counterpart, although his pose itself is not mirrored. Similarly, both he and the Romance Dawn head band wearing member were also helping load supplies when it came time for the crew to leave in both stories.
==Anime and Manga Differences ==
In the anime only, Yasopp revealed during a duel with Daddy Masterson that he had been a hopeless father who was unable to do anything for his wife and son.
Luigia has stated that Yasopp was a liar when he was young.
During the Marineford Arc, he attempted to fight the Blackbeard Pirates by showing his gun in a threatening manner to Van Augur.
==Translation and Dub Issues==
Yasopp was (alongside Zeff) inserted into 4Kids' heavily-truncated version of the Reverse Mountain Arc as a means of establishing the "Grand Compass" without Laboon or Crocus. Here, the compass is depicted as something that Yasopp left in Syrup Village to help Usopp become a pirate, as explained via a "flashback" created with footage from Episode 9. While not a plot hole in itself, it should be noted that canon indicates nothing about Yasopp wanting Usopp to go out to sea so early.
The 4Kids dub also removed the writing on his bandanna, as it did with most in-universe writing.
== Merchandise==
He was issued alongside his son Usopp in a One Piece Block Figures set featuring the Straw Hats and their past mentors/loved ones.
