Kaku Trivia- THE MOAR YOU KNOW

• Kaku's animal theme is the giraffe
• He is one of the two only characters seen eating a devils fruit on screen that wasn't in a flashback
• We have never seen Kaku without a cap on! Which is a shame, I bet he has cute hair underneath.
• He's the only CP9 member to show some regret leaving Water 7.

• He speaks using the Japanese suffix "-ja" which is commonley used by old men. This confuses Luffy and prompts him to ask how old Kaku is (chapter 325).
• Many of the strawhats mistake Kaku for Ussop on account of their similar noses. Although, as Nami points out, Kaku's nose is square.
• In fact, Kaku's unique nose is carried over in his giraffe/human form! (And he is made fun of because of this, LOL!)
• As revieled in Volume 44 SBS, Kaku as a child liked to build model ships.
• We are lead to believe that Kaku has curls under that hat of his ;)
• Kaku is considered to be the second strongest CP9 Agent, following Rob Lucci by a difference of 1,800 Douriki.
• Kaku is the one that woar the skull mask during the Water 7 arc.
• Kaku's rivals are considered to be Jyabura and Roronoa Zoro.
• During the CP9 Chapter Cover Mini Story, Kaku is seen in his full giraffe form acting as a slide to make money to pay for Lucci's operation.
• His current attire consists of a beanie cap, striped polo shirt, and long dark pants.
• He is the most prominent swordsman of CP9.
• Kaku seems to enjoy figting as he is seen shouting, "This is fun!" during his encounter with Zoro in Enies Loby.
