Shimotsuki Ryuma was a legendary, world-famous samurai hailing from the Shimotsuki Family of Wano Country, who lived during Wano's "Country of Gold" era centuries ago. He was revered for his mastery of swordsmanship that earned him the title Sword God, as well as his feat of slaying a dragon. He is also the direct ancestor of Shimotsuki Ushimaru and Roronoa Zoro.
Two decades before the beginning of the story, Ryuma's consecrated grave in Ringo was ransacked and his corpse and sword stolen by Gecko Moria. Eventually, his corpse was reanimated by Brook's shadow and turned into a General Zombie to serve Moria on Thriller Bark, leading to the possessed Ryuma becoming an antagonist of the Thriller Bark Arc, until his defeat at Zoro's hands.
When he was alive, he possessed black hair which was tied in the end with a topknot. He also wore a simple khaki samurai gi and simple zōri sandals.Later in life, he became a one-eyed swordsman, gaining a scar across his left eye.
As a zombie, Ryuma is noticeably shorter than Brook. He has several bandages covering part of his skull face, which has no eyes and no nose, and wears a samurai gi with intricate designs more detailed than his original garb. He also wears geta instead of the zōri sandals of his past life, as well as a blue stomach band with a swirling design. Ryuma's mouth is partially covered by the blue scarf he wears, his black hair has turned white, and he keeps Shusui strapped to his right hip.
