The character who completely stole the show after making his introduction in One Piece's Wano Country arc is none other than Yamato. Yamato is a great addition to the series, and characters like these only further our adoration for the anime. It's been 100+ episodes and 120+ chapters since Yamato was introduced, but Yamato's gender is still hotly debated in the One Piece community. The latest anime episode 1078 and manga chapter 1084's official cover art once again sparked the debate. So let's take a look at all the facts and hints to find the answer to Yamato's gender identity.

Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers about Yamato and stories in One Piece. So we recommend watching the anime (up to the Wano Country arc, one of the best One Piece arcs) or reading the manga to avoid ruining your experience.

In a short time, Yamato has become one of the most popular characters in One Piece. Yamato is loved by fans, but there has been constant debate about their gender. First we learned that Yamato is the daughter of Kaido. She was initially introduced as a female character. It was even confirmed that she was born female biologically in the Vivre Card (One Piece Visual Dictionary). That's why she was called the Oni Princess by Kaido's subordinates, but that was before she started calling herself Odin.

Although Kaido had a daughter, he always acknowledged Yamato as his son in the story. It must be because he wanted Yamato to be his heir and take the mantle. And right after this, Yamato began to idolize Kozuki Oden. Because of his overflowing admiration, Yamato identified himself as a man from that point on and called himself Oden. And from that day on, everyone in the Beast Pirates along with Kaido referred to Yamato as a man.
