Meaning and background

The story behind Zoro

Zoro has a documented One Piece namesake. Netflix's official character biography identifies Roronoa Zoro as the Straw Hat Pirates' swordsman and first mate and names Mackenyu as his performer in the adaptation. A dog can receive Zoro as a fan tribute while preserving this exact single-r spelling. The source establishes the character connection rather than a relationship with Zorro or a guessed literal personal-name meaning.
