Biography[]
Tashigi was first introduced when the Straw Hat Pirates docked in Loguetown, where she was stationed. Smoker, her superior officer, seems to regard her as a protégé; the two work very well together.
While adept at sword fighting, she is unusually clumsy, which tends to get on Smoker's nerves. She is also very well-versed in katana, knowing their names and origins. [[Roronoa Zoro]|Zoro]] often feels highly uncomfortable around her due to her striking resemblance to his late friend Kuina, who she fights like and even shares philosophies with.
Like Smoker, Tashigi has her own view of "Justice" which differs from the Marines' own definition, and will fight for what she sees as the right thing to do. Tashigi's stated goal is to remove all Meido, a class of famous swords, from the hands of those who would use them for their own selfish ends.
After Wano Country, Tashigi takes the kids who were experimented by Caesar Clown to G14 headquarter (a base under the command of Vice-Admiral Doll) to give them medicines to shrink them down to their original size. She is worried of Koby after he was captured by Blackbeard during a failed attempted to arrest Boa Hancock.
She joined Garp to sail to Hachinosu to rescue Koby from the Blackbeard Pirates but were confronted by the former Admiral, Kuzan. Tashigi and SWORD managed to escaped from Hachinosu but sadly Garp stayed behind, allowing himself to be capture in hopes to reform Aokiji.
Trivia[]

- In the 4th Japanese Fan Poll, Tashigi is ranked the 42nd most popular character in One Piece and is the 8th most popular female character

- In the 6th Japanese Fan Poll, Tashigi is ranked the 32nd most popular character in One Piece and is the 10th most popular female character.
- Once a fan asked about Tashigi's glasses as she seems nearsighted but she lifts her glasses to see a sword. Also, she was also seen not wearing glasses running and asked if the glasses were for show. Oda stated she really does need them.
- In Japan, the act of taking another's sword is seen as a strong statement, which often means the wielder was not worthy of the blade, which Tashigi is doing supposedly by taking the blades from criminals.
- Though she is after Zoro's Meito, the sword that caught her eye the most is Wado Ichimonji owed to its magnificence and her lack of understanding of why such a sword is in Zoro's hands. Ironically, this is the very sword that once was wielded by Kuina whom she resembles.
- So far, Yamaoroshi and Kashu are the only known swords to have been taken from their original respective owners by Tashigi.
- Tashigi's character design has changed greatly throughout the series. On her first appearance, she looks like Kuina but during the Whitebeard War saga, her design became more distinct.
- Tashigi was the second female Marine shown in the series (the retired and deceased Bell-mère being first).
- Her Kiri Shigure attack has the same pronunciation as one of Kaku's Rankyaku attacks.
- The origins of her technique, Kiri Shigure, is dated as far back as the Video Game One Piece Grand Adventure, where she uses it as the final part of her ultimate attack. This is odd because the game was released long before she ever used the technique in the actual story.
- Along with Smoker, Tashigi has appeared in more sagas than any other characters outside the Straw Hat Pirates.
- The Straw Hats she had the most direct interactions with are Zoro and Nami.
- During most of her first encounter with Zoro, she wasn't aware he was a pirate yet. When they became enemies, she would be angered by Zoro's mercy, interpreting it as him not taking her seriously due to her gender - while it was actually her resemblance to his deceased childhood friend, Kuina. Nevertheless, Zoro avoids holding back against her to show that he respects her as a rival.
- Despite her hatred of pirates, Tashigi was okay working with Nami to organise the rescue of the children who had suffered from Caesar's experiments. She and Nami actually establish a positive rapport, though accept that they probably can't be friends due to being on opposite sides of the law.
- While Tashigi strictly adheres to the law, she is able to see the hypocrisies and corruption shown in certain high-ranking Marines and the Celestial Dragons. Therefore, she doesn't openly defy the hierarchy, but finds opportunities to do good even when orders demand otherwise. Due to her belief in justice, she holds more contempt for corrupt Marines than pirates, since while pirates are criminals, the corrupt Marines are criminals and traitors, as well as failures to enforce the justice they supposedly believe.
