Dororo

Dororo is the titular character and deuteragonist of the show. He is a young orphaned thief, who wanders around all on his own seeking opportunities to steal and cause troubles. After Dororo was rescued by Hyakkimaru from a demon, he joins him in his travels and adventure. In the final chapter of the manga, it was revealed that Dororo was actually born as a girl, but had lived as a boy for as long as he could remember. This could be due to his parents, who raised him as a male instead of a female since birth. Dororo refuses to speak or dress femininely. In the manga, he often announces that he is a boy when others have called him a girl. Dororo is a small-boned child with brown eyes, black spiky hair which is tied into a short ponytail. He wears a tattered, sleeveless green robe that bares the centre of his chest. It is secured by a thin white cloth tied on his waist along with a small rag bag. He also wears a brown ribbon as a necklace and bandages on his wrists and ankles. During in his teen, he wears a red outfit that covered his inner sleeve, presumably to be Kimono with a long hair that tied to the end that resemble of his mother. Despite looking young and innocent, Dororo is a cheeky, mischievous thief who plays nasty tricks on others to achieve his ways. He seems to be arrogant and reckless, occasionally claiming credit that was meant for others. On top of that, he also has a determined attitude, making his fond of trouble. Like children his age, Dororo is curious and daring as he shows no fear of Hyakkimaru's abnormal presence and approached him without hesitation. Often times he shows his care to the people around him; generously, he fetches Hyakkimaru's misplaced prostheses with acquiescent and provides aid on simple tasks he is unable to do himself. Although he sometimes displays a harsh and rude behaviour to Hyakkimaru, Dororo is quite clingy to him. The 2019 Anime portrayal of Dororo seems more laid back, caring and thoughtful compared to the other versions; this displays Dororo as a more childish and rude troublemaker.
