Birthdate : April 3rd
Height : 2m 66cm (8'8½")

Brook is the ninth member of the Straw Hat crew and the eighth to join Luffy's crew. He is also one of the two swordsmen onboard their current ship with the other being Zoro. He fills the role of the long awaited musician that Luffy wanted for his crew since his journey began. Brook is an eccentric character with, like the other Straw Hat Pirates, a distinct personality of his own. While he looks like and claims to be a gentleman, he possesses very bad manners such as asking to see ladies' panties and waiting impatiently for food. Despite these behaviors he remains somewhat polite, usually referring to people using the respectful "-san" honorific. His reactions to different occurrences can be somewhat extreme, often comically so. Although he tends to display more extreme emotions at times, Brook has been known to over-relax when he is told to stay calm. Brook's most notable trait amongst others, however, is that he cracks "skull jokes" about himself being a skeleton complimented with his distinct laughter of "Yohohoho" even if there is no one around to hear him.
Brook is a great lover of music. Whether it be through happy or sad times, music is what generally keeps Brook going. As a result, his love for music often reflects itself in various other aspects of his character such as in his fighting style wherein the names of his attacks are derived from various musical songs and dances. He gave himself a musical theme so noticeable that while he was alive in his first life, he was called "Humming Brook" by the authorities.
Brook's signature attack as of yet is known as 鼻唄三丁:矢筈斬り, "Hanauta Sanchou: Yahazu Giri", loosely translated into "Three-Verse Humming: Arrow-Notch Slice". The attack is the fastest cutting technique of his kingdom's assault squad. It was originally named "Requiem Banderole", but was given the other name by his old nakama. Due to the attack's blinding speed and Brook's distracting humming, enemies often don't notice they have been hit until after Brook has sheathed his sword.
When the need arises, Brook can also employ his music to aid him in battle. His technique, "Nemuriuta Flanc", loosely translated as "Lullaby Parry", shows this, where he strums his violin with his shikomizue like a violinists bow, creating a soothing tune that makes anyone who hears it immediately fall asleep.
Although an extremely fast swordsman, his skills are not of the same caliber as Zoro's, the Straw Hats' other swordsman. While Brook had been unable to defeat Ryuuma no matter how hard he fought and while Ryuuma only used a fraction of his power, he noticed that Zoro was able to defeat him at full power with only two of his swords. Although Ryuuma did say that Brook's protectiveness of his afro held him back somewhat.

Could you play me 'Bone to Be Wild'?
/smiles ans sits down/
Oh no, it wasn't so bad. Usopp and your crew saved me so I'm better now. I'm not even sick anymore! /smiles/
Anyway, Brook-San, I hear you're quite the musician! Would you mind if I asked you to play a song for me?
