"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". He showed incredible caution when he advised Hiyori to live under a false name to protect herself from Orochi and Kaido's pirate.



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.

After Orochi fell in love with Komurasaki, Denjiro came up with the idea of ​​separating her from Orochi and told her to bring fake blood so he could devise her death. Indeed, 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.

Later Zoro tries to kill Orochi with his technique “the seven hundred and twenty demonic passions of the phoenix” and Denjiro intervenes, canceling his attack, saving Orochi and admiring Hiyori's astonished expression from afar.



Only by going forward with the story will it be discovered that in reality he will be an excellent ally, reveal his identity and help the crew during the war. His main purpose was to keep Kozuki Hiyori safe and to protect her.

Denjiro and Hiyori seem to share an interesting and profound but unknown connection in the story so far. While their relationship appears to be simple at first glance, it goes way beyond when Kyoshiro hit her during the banquet at Orochi Castle.

During the war between Kaido and Monkey D. Luffy, Orochi takes advantage of it to kill Hiyori due to the fact that she has been unfaithful to him, but while he tries to kill her, Denjiro arrives and saves her by cutting off his head, while he held Hiyori in his arms.

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 third 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.
