KyHiyori

"You may not recognize me, my lady..."

- Denjiro reveal himself to Hiyori.

KyHiyori is the het ship between Denjiro and Kozuki Hiyori from the One Piece fandom.

Canon
Hiyori at an early age ran into some courtesans who took her to Kyoshiro, he welcomed her very willingly and revealed that he was actually Denjiro, while the girl told him that she had separated from Kawamatsu, who had treated her to safety. Denjiro told her not to reveal anything about his identity and what he learned and to protect her he told her to be called with an undercover name "Komurasaki". He later made her the most famous oiran in the country of Wa. He has great respect for her and has closely followed her new business as the shogun's courtesan "Komurasaki".



She is also the only one aware of Denjiro's secret identity. Much later, Denjiro convinced some criminals to entrust Hiyori with all their money to be able to redeem it from Orochi, but then he handed it over to Denjiro to distribute to the poor, sending these men to ruin.

While all present mock Orochi in silence as he fears Kozuki Toki's prophecy, Toko does not hold back and bursts into laughter. The shogun therefore gets furious and prepares to stab her, but Komurasaki slaps him and refuses to apologize by asserting her samurai ancestry. Denjiro does not hesitate to execute Komurasaki after she slaps Shogun Orochi in the face, even though he actually allows her to survive Orochi's fury by making her pass for dead, and consequently she manages to save herself thanks to him.

Fanon
KyHiyori is a new and fairly unknown ship within fandom, as it does not enjoy great popularity and most fans see Denjiro and Hiyori's relationship as father and daughter due to the age of difference they both have. But fans of this ship argue that the two may have something that makes them more than just friends. KyHiyori's rival ship is Zoyori the het ship between Roronoa Zoro and Kozuki Hiyori, and is the most popular first ship for Denjiro, and the second most popular for Hiyori.

Although KyHiyori does not enjoy a high popularity, surprisingly the fanarts on it are quite numerous, and thanks to this it could make their relationship more not only as simple friends, but also as lovers.
