Personality
Summary

Abilities And Powers
Physical Abilities
Tsunagoro seems to have enough strength to hold down a struggling Luffy while the latter is being punished for his rudeness.
Weapons
Tsunagoro primarily fights with a pair of pistols, akin to Izou. He was shown using a knife while attempting to dismember Monkey D. Luffy and wielding a katana when about to execute Omasa to prevent the latter from fully succumbing to the Ice Oni disease, but has not employed either for actual combat yet.
History
Past
At a certain point in his past, he became the yakuza boss of the Hakumai region of Wano Country. After the Beasts Pirates took over the country, he opposed them and ended up in the Prisoner Mine in Udon. He was put to work in the Iron Factory.
Wano Country Saga
Wano Country Arc
Tsunagoro was working in the Iron Factory when O-Lin rampaged through the prison and the Beasts Pirates tried to call for help. After Monkey D. Luffy led a rebellion in the prison, Tsunagoro was freed with the rest of the prisoners. The yakuza bosses later approached Hyougoro to show him respect, and upon seeing Luffy's casual way of addressing Hyougoro, they tried to punish Luffy, only to be stopped by Hyougoro. The bosses then let Luffy go and left to recruit their followers from across Wano. Two days before the raid on Onigashima, Tsunagoro and the other yakuza bosses contacted Kin'emon and informed him of the number of allies they had recruited. On the day of the Fire Festival, the alliance began the raid on Onigashima and the rebels successfully infiltrated the island. After the Red Scabbards launched a surprise attack on Kaidou, the rebels waged an all-out war on the Beasts Pirates. Tsunagoro fought alongside Hyougoro at the Live Floor. As Tony Tony Chopper began mass-producing the antidote for the Ice Oni virus, the yakuza bosses volunteered to guard him. As Omasa was succumbing to the virus again, he requested Tsunagoro to end his life. However, Chopper managed to successfully mass-produce the antidote and cure all the infected, including Omasa.
Trivia
Summary
During Hyougoro's monologue about the yakuza bosses imprisoned in Udon, Tsunagoro is the only one whose silhouette matches his appearance, while the rest had their appearance altered. His epithet is derived from the appearance of his hair, which after a long battle resembles a broken kasa hat.
