Recruit Jango is the first mate and hypnotist for Captain Kuro, who uses disks as chakrams to control people's minds in combat. These disks are also part of Jango's outfit, along with a long coat and red-lensed glasses. Despite his own ability to be hypnotized, Jango is skilled at using this power against others. He has a past as a bounty hunter, with a reward of 7 million Beli. In the end, Jango's self-hypnosis leads to his defeat by Usopp while trying to kill Kaya. Later, he appears in cover stories and joins the Navy under Captain Hina. Jango gained his hypnotic abilities after eating a mushroom that grew on his chin while sleeping, with only the cap consumed and the trunk still present.
