Bishamon is a ninja and was part of the Shogun’s elite bodyguard, the Orochi Oniwabanshu. After Orochi’s supposed death, they submitted to Kaidou and are pirates from then on.

Appearance
Bishamon is a corpulent, rather small man with dark hair, which he has tied into a braid. This peeks out of the top back of his round helmet, leaving only his face exposed. He has very prominent chubby cheeks and oddly shaped, thick eyebrows. He wears a dark battle suit with a sort of round collar and a sort of fishnet top underneath it. His hands are covered by joint guards and on his feet he wears sandals.
Skills and strength
The fact that Bishamon is one of the Orochi secret agents speaks to his strength, so they were able to sneak up on Robin with several people undetected. However, they could not shine against the Straw Hat Pirates so far, so these repeatedly managed to escape. His specialty is the “Hide in the water” (水遁, Suiton).
Present
Wano Country
During the shogun’s banquet, the Orochi secret agents spotted Nico Robin sneaking away from him and confronted her. Since Robin did not answer satisfactorily when asked who she was, Fukurokuju gave the order to arrest her, whereupon they attacked her. However, to Bishamon’s surprise, it was only a body double, created with her devil power, allowing Robin to escape for the time being. Later, she and the rest managed to escape for good after Nami attacked the entire castle with Ninpo: Raitei.
Later, the Orochi secret agents appeared again after Shimotsuki Yasuie was publicly executed and another commotion ensued due to the Straw Hats. However, Bishamon was frightened by Brook’s ghost form and the Straw Hats subsequently managed to escape.
Onigashima
However, after Kaidou killed Shogun Kurozumi Orochi at the Fire Festival, he gave Wano Country’s samurai and ninja a choice. Either they would join the Beasts Pirates Pirates and become pirates themselves, or die. Fukurokuju and Hotei, leaders of the Mimawarigumi, then agreed to submit to the Emperor on behalf of their subordinates. However, as Queen spread the Ice Demon Virus, the Orochi secret agents were also attacked by the infected, trying to get their hands on the antidote, which Zoro got his hands on and passed on to Chopper for mass production. However, a reinvigorated Hyogoro defeated several Orochi secret agents and Mimawarigumi with just one attack.
Miscellaneous
