When it comes to villains, Charlotte Katakuri is undoubtedly one of the best and most popular One Piece villains. Although he is Luffy's enemy, their fight is so full of sincere rivalry that people come to respect him as a character. This is why he is so popular among fans and why people wonder when he will return to the story. But, when it comes to Katakuri, there are also other interesting questions that one might have, and in this article, we will answer one of them. Now, we know that Katakuri was born into the large Charlotte family and is the second son of Big Mom. But who was Katakuri's father? In this article, we will reveal the answer to this question.

It was revealed that Charlotte Katakuri was Big Mom's second son from her marriage to her third husband. The identity of this husband was never revealed, so we don't know who Katakuri's father is. Theories that Kaido could be Katakuri's father are absurd and have no basis in anything we've seen or heard from Oda himself.

This article will focus on Katakuri and how he fits into the Charlotte family tree. In total, Big Mom has 46 sons and 39 daughters, meaning Big Mom gave birth to a total of 85 children, which seems both incredible and ridiculous. The article will focus on one child in particular, Charlotte Katakuri, and explain everything about her mother, father, and siblings. The article may contain spoilers for those who aren't fully up to date with One Piece, so we're just giving a fair warning.

Katakuri's mother is Big Mom, but his father's identity has never been revealed.

Of all of Big Mom's children, Charlotte Katakuri is probably the most well-known and beloved by fans, mainly due to her rivalry with Luffy and the epic battle they had, which also showed that they are both very noble fighters who respect their opponents and want to get the best out of each other.

A total of 85 children means that Katakuri has 84 siblings and 43 husbands. This is the total number of all known members of the Charlotte family led by Big Mom, who runs her family like a pirate crew. Katakuri was born 48 years ago, and we know that he was shunned as a child due to his heritage and strange appearance; namely, as a child, he enjoyed eating so much that he would enlarge his own mouth, leaving hideous scars, causing other children to shun or bully him. Luckily for him, Katakuri was strong enough to defend himself.

Now, we know that Katakuri's mother was Big Mom, and that he was born as the second son in the family, the third child overall, and the eldest of the triplets consisting of him, Daifuku, and Oven. At the time, Big Mom was married to her third husband, as has been officially confirmed, but the identity of Big Mom's third husband has not been revealed. This isn't unusual, since only a small number of Big Mom's husbands have been revealed, so Oda's failure to reveal the identity of Katakuri's father is not surprising. And this is what we know—officially. Katakuri has an unnamed father who was his mother's third husband; that's all we know.

No, Kaido is not Katakuri's father

There's a theory online that Kaido is actually Katakuri's father. The author based the theory on the fact that Kaido and Big Mom were close, that Katakuri is physically imposing like Kaido, and that he has those animal-like scars on his face. But this theory is completely absurd. Not only does it mean that Kaido was either Big Mom's husband or lover (which would also mean he's the father of Daifuku and Oven), which would be unusual for Oda, as One Piece was never a soap opera, but also that the official information we have is incorrect.

Namely, we know that Katakuri's scars are his own fault and that he wasn't born with them. We also know that Kaido isn't the only physically imposing figure Big Mom has come into contact with, and we know that Kaido already has a child, Yamato, who looks nothing like him. This theory doesn't take into account that the other triplets look like Kaido, and we also have to confirm that even the theory's author has stated that he has no idea how to address some of the discrepancies related to his theory. So no, Kaido isn't Katakuri's son, and any theory that claims that is is absurd unless Oda drastically changes his story.
