Django

This article is about the anime character. For the musician, see Django Reinhardt.

Django (ジャンゴ Jango) is a fictional character from the One Piece series of anime and manga. Django is the spelling used by the United States version of One Piece released in the U.S. Shonen Jump by Viz. Template:Spoiler

Django is the first mate of Captain Kuro. He uses disks that double as chakrams to hypnotize people to his advantage in battle.

Django wears strange clothes, including a long coat covered in the disks he uses to fight and hypnotize, and black-lensed heart-shaped glasses. It can be assumed that his character was based on Michael Jackson, as when he travels he usually moonwalks, and he uses flashy gestures similar to Michael Jackson's dance moves. Other notable similarities can be put between his trench coat and his heart shaped sunglasses.

Django possesses the power of hypnosis, which he uses to put people to sleep and to make Captain Kuro's crew far more powerful and fierce. He is not, however, perfect with his hypnosis - when he puts people to sleep, he usually falls asleep as well. And when he hypnotized the crew to make them stronger, he also accidentally hypnotized Luffy - with unpleasant results.

Django was ordered by Kuro to kill Kaya, but before he could kill her, Usopp hits him with his exploding stars. Django is presumed dead, but through a bizarre series of unpredictable events (involving lots of dancing and hypnosis), he ends up a Marine recruit, working alongside the disgraced Ironfist Fullbody under the command of Hina (whom they both adore).

Django is also a character in a line of Spaghetti Westerns, played primarily by Franco Nero. The character was notable for dragging a coffin containing a Gatling gun and a belt of ammunition behind him.
