Shimotsuki Kuina[2] was a childhood friend, relative and rival of Roronoa Zoro. She was the daughter of Shimotsuki Koushirou[6] and the granddaughter of Shimotsuki Kozaburo[7] making her a descendant of Wano Country's famed Shimotsuki Family.[8] Her death at the age of eleven drove much of Zoro's ambitions as a swordsman, including his development of the Three Sword Style.[1]
