Hitokui

Hitokui ("Cannibal") was a monster that terrorized villagers in Oda's one-shot Ikki Yako.
==Appearance==
Hitokui was a wild looking person with a shaggy, light-colored short hair, pointed ears, wild eyes, and a very large mouth. He wore a short-sleeved, light-colored shirt, with dark-colored shorts, and a dark-colored vest, which he took from Guko's master Koshin after he killed him.
==Personality==
Hitokui has an insane personality, killing and eating Koshin and attempting to kill Guko.
After fighting with Koshin, Hitokui hates monks, because Koshin tried to kill him when he had let his guard down.
==Abilities and Powers==
Hitokui was stronger and more agile than an average human, as shown when he was able to avoid Guko's attacks by jumping over him, jump from tree to tree, and slam Guko into the ground like a rag doll, while only using one hand.
==History==
Sometime prior to the events of Ikki Yako, Guko's master Koshin hunted for the Hitokui. While he managed to talk it down and nearly killed it, he ultimately failed, and the Hitokui killed him and took his clothing. The Hitokui presumably went on to terrorize the nearby village, leaving its residents afraid to even go near the surrounding forest. 
===Ikki Yako===
On the evening of the story, the Hitokui spotted Guko in the East Forest and attempted to ambush him, although Guko managed to run away after thinking he saw a ghost. Later that night, Guko was too afraid to confront the Hitokui, even after being begged by the village people, and attempted to flee the area through the forest. The Hitokui took notice of this, and rapidly pursued Guko using the trees. After catching up with Guko after a short chase, the Hitokui went on the offensive, ruthlessly attacking Guko, only stopping after Guko begged him to do so. Guko attempted to reason with the Hitokui on why it hated monks so much, to which the Hitokui explained that Koshin attempted to kill it in the past, resulting in its current hatred. The Guardian Deity overheard this, and was outraged to hear that his friend had been killed and eaten by the Hitokui. The Guardian Deity attempted to attack it, but Guko stopped him, stating that Koshin was his master. Before the Hitokui got another chance to attack, Guko bifurcated the Hitokui in its torso, killing it in a single slash, and ending its terror on the forest.
==Trivia==
*He has – along with several other non-canonical characters such as Wild Joe, D.R., and Golass – made numerous cameos in the One Piece anime through a series of wanted posters that first appeared in Episode 45.
**While his bounty is illegible in most of these cameos, the ninth movie places it at 1,500,000.
*The term "Hitokui" was eventually reused in One Piece proper, as the epithet of Bartolomeo (though this use is strictly metaphorical, referring to Bartolomeo's abrasive personality instead of any actual cannibalism).
