Norinosuke[2] is a self-proclaimed shaman from the Flower Capital of the Wano Country[1] and the father of Holed'em.[2]
Appearance[]
Norinosuke's full body.
Norinosuke is a wiry man of average height with long, brown hair. He wears heavy black makeup around his lips and eyes, and dresses in a white jōe with purple pants; around his head, he wears a circlet of lit candles supported by a white band, and he carries an ōnusa. His face, in particular, resembles that of his son Holed'em.
He is dressed in what appears to be the ceremonial garb of a kannushi.
Personality[]
Norinosuke appears to be a particularly religious individual, evident by the religious garb he wears. He is more religiously inclined than the average Wano citizen; while he notes that many people no longer believe in the divinity of white boars, he appears to, and encourages those around him to return Koyama to the mountain. When Kin'emon attempted to battle the Mountain God, Norinosuke urged him to stop, stating that the entire country would fall into ruin if it was harmed.
Additionally, Norinosuke believes in the stories surrounding Kouzuki Oden, and was not surprised when Oden claimed responsibility for luring the Mountain God into the capital.[1]
Relationships[]
Holed'em[]
While their relationship is unknown, Norinosuke is Holed'em's father, and presumably raised him.[2]
History[]
Past[]
Forty-one years ago, Norinosuke was in the Flower Capital when Kin'emon accidentally lured the Mountain God into the city. While the citizens panicked, he preached in the streets to return the God's child to the mountains to quell its anger.
When Kin'emon learned that the Mountain God had eaten Tsurujo and attempted to attack it, Norinosuke ordered him to stop alongside another priest, warning that Wano would fall into ruin if the God was harmed. When Kin'emon's assault failed and Kouzuki Oden claimed responsibility for kidnapping the baby boar, Norinosuke insulted him and motivated the townspeople to throw rocks at him.[1]
Thirty years ago, Norinosuke became a father when Holed'em was born.[2][3]
Trivia[]
- Norinosuke shares a Japanese voice actor with his son Holed'em.
