Roronoa Zoro (ロロノア・ゾロ, Roronoa Zoro, spelled as "Roronoa Zolo" in some English adaptations), also known as "Pirate Hunter" Zoro (海賊狩りのゾロ, Kaizoku-Gari no Zoro), is a fictional character in the manga series and media franchise One Piece created by Eiichiro Oda. The character made his first appearance in the 3rd chapter of the series, which was first published in Japan in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on August 4, 1997. Zoro is the second member of the Straw Hat Pirates and the first to join, doing so after he is rescued by Luffy from execution. Zoro is a highly skilled swordsman and serves as the crew's combatant, (and Luffy's second-in-command) though he possesses an extremely poor sense of direction which recurs as a running gag throughout the series.
