He can always be seen with his two swords, Saishono Yuujin and Daini No Yuujin, they attached to a large, cross shaped strap which has a large, circular ruby in the center. He also has an incredilbly huge appetite as his custom of his species, he especially enjoys spicy food and so cooks it alot as well.

Personality
Due to the many years in which he was outcast from Elbaf, Cooker grew to have a very cold and serious personality. But underneath the harshness lies a gentle giant even before he joined the crew he never once physically harmed anyone who didn't deserve all though this didn't stop him from leveling towns full of innocent people in blind rage. Also beneath the harshness is someone who does like to have a good time and enjoy himself however because of his afformentioned coldness he tries to mask these signs of happiness and fun through not smiling and when he lifes it comes out as a very monotone "De Ha Ha" sound.

History
Cooker was born in Elbaf to a proud warrior family, but because of his small size was not given a name and was never allowed to go outside. At age 7 (about 2 years and 3 months by human standards but due to being a giant his brain and body had grown to the level of a human 7 year old) he asked his father "Father, why do I have no name" his father remained silent. He also asked "And why am I so small? And why can I not play with all the kids out there?" His father stared at him and growled "Becaue you are a disgrace! To think my genes are in you, how can a shrimp like you carry on my legacy! How can a shrimp like you be my SON!" Cooker cried and ran off. In the years that followed, Cooker became a secluded and silent child who talked to noone but himself. He observed his mother cooking one day and decided that Cooker was a good name and so named himself after the object his mother was using. He began to fantasize and dream that he was big and that he was great warrior "I am the mighty Cooker! Hear my Godly Roar! RAAAAAAAAAAAR!" His father overheard him and laughed "You a mighty warrior?.... BAH!" Cooker's father backhanded him with great forced straight into a stone wall. "And what are you foolishly calling yourself Cooker for? You do not deserve a name, you abomination! Perhaps you named yourself after a tool because you realize thats all you are, a tool for me to practice my punches" He hit Cooker again, "Its better to keep you hear where I can keep you from embarassing me outside of my house!" Cooker's mother walked in a did nothing but smirk and watch as Cookers father continued to beat him. The beating finnaly stopped 2 hours later.

This beating is what caused Cookers hatred for the world, his unstoppapble, demoinc anger which would not stop until his god like wrath was quenched, early in the morning after the beating he left the house leaving a wake of destruction through the front room, he also took two of his fathers swords which he would later name. Luckily, because of the nature of his body his injuries were not severe only a few bruises, cuts and a broken rib or two. Before he could get out of the front gates, he was approached by some of the kids he'd seen playing, one of them said "Who're you and why're you so small?" Cooker carried on walking, blanking out the far larger child. "Just gonna ignore me then? Whatever why would I want any business from a shrimp like you" Cooker had a flashback of his father "How can a shrimp like you be my SON!" Cooker's anger flowed like a torrent, he glared at the boy. "Hey why're you staring at me shrimp?" Cooker screamed and uppercutted the far larger child, blood pooring from the childs mouth. He was knocked unconscious, the other kids surrounded Cooker "What the hell you doing" they tried to fight but Cooker beat them senseless, throwing them arround like rag dolls, breaking their bones as if they were as brittle as dryed up twigs. His father had been wrong about Cooker, Cooker was more than capable of carrying on his legacy.

Once Cooker had left Elbaf, he disowned all of his elbafian belongings, which was nothing but the clothes on his back, except the two swords which he then named Saishono Yuujin and Daini No Yuujin, literally translated to The First Friend and The Second Friend. He also gave himself the title of Kind as he was now in control of his life, and was prepared to rule his destiny. He later found a village and stole some food, water and materials from it. He saw someone dressed in a chefs outfit and saw the hat and apron and decided he would fashion some out of some of the cloth and some leather he'd attained from some animals he had killed earlier. The chef however saw him and as he ran off the chef followed. The chef eventually caught up to Cooker, Cooker prepared for a fight, but the chef said "Woah easy there, put the sword down. You look as if you need some help stranger", Cooker replied "I don't need it especially from a human". "Ah so you're not a human, what are you then lets get a better look at you come into the light" Cooker showed his face, "Ah so you're a giant, you're gonna need some food to fill that appetite, I'll be right back." The chef came back 5 minutes later, prepared to make a stew for Cooker. "Why're you helping me?" Cooker asked, "Because thats what you do, you help those that are in need." Cooker began to cry, this was the first time in his life that anyone had shown kindness to him. He wiped his tears and said "My names King Cooker." " A king eh? He he, My name is Ochi." From then on Cooker nicknamed Ochi Daisanno Yuujin, The Third Friend. As weeks past Ochi continued to visit Cooker and cook him food, as he did Cooker became more and more interested in Ochi's cooking and so Ochi decided to teach the giant how to cook.

Years and years went on, both of them grew in age and Cooker attained his full size over this time Cooker trained himself in Nantoryu style swordsmenship by facing numerous bandits and after every defeat him and Ochi would make a feast together and eat and drink into the night. Unfortunately when Cooker became 36, Ochi fell ill and was finding it hard to move about or to find any hope of getting better due to his age, he sent his son Rinnosuke to fetch Cooker and tell him the bad news. "What? Ochi Sensei is.... " Cooker was heart broken, his best friend was dieing and he would no longer laugh anymore. He grew angry smashing the nearby counrtyside, once he had calmed down Rinnosuke led him to the village. Cooker met Ochi at his death bead and Ochi passed on his thousands of recipes and books to Cooker "I'll learn all of the Ochi Sensei! I'll learm em' all Daisanno Yuujin!" Ochi smiled and passed away. Cooker was never seen as much by the vilagers, noone went to visit him in his cave not even Rinnosuke the son of the giants best friend.

Years passed once more, Cooker became 82 (27 years old by human standards) and was only ever seen in the village when stopping bandits or in one of his random rages. It was after one of these rages that he met three strangers from accross the sea, Charlie, Takeshi and Bella. Takeshi walked up to the giant and said "Hey you look pretty strong, care for a fight?" The giant was still angry and swung for Takeshi before saying "Hell Yeah!" Takeshi continued to test Cookers strength until eventually saying "Now I know you've been helping these people but I'm pretty sure they don't want any more of their houses wrecked. How about you follow me to a place where you can take you're anger out on just me? Kaneno Oto!" After attacking Cooker, Takeshi began to run and Cooker gave chase. Charlie and Bella did not follow and instead went to the closest inn. Cooker and Takeshi finnally arrived in an open pasture away from the village and they resumed their duel, Cooker's elbafian blood boiled due to the fierceness of the battle he had never faced an opponent as strong as Takeshi, he had finnaly met a fellow monster. The duel ended in Takeshi's vctory through diarment, Takeshi then told Cooker "You're strong, damn strong. I think you're the strongest guy I've ever faced but you're swings are too wild, you don't show any precision or technique. I've heard you're a good cook and my crew is in need of one, I'm sure my Captain won't mind and if you join we'll give you a home, some company and I'll teach you swordsmanship." Cooker flashbacked to when he first met Ochi and to when Ochi said he'd teach him how to cook, he began to cry. He wiped his eyes and said "Let me get my things." The two walked back and Takeshi told Charlie and Bella that Cooker was gonna join the crew. "I'll be the judge of that!" Charlie said and with a quick read of his mind, Charlie decided that Cooker was both wanting and worthy. Ever since then Cooker's technique has improved thanks to the teachings of Takeshi and his heart has slowly started to open once more.
