The character
Smoker’s second, a sword obsessive who wants legendary blades out of pirate hands. Glasses, katana, and a sense of justice that will put her across from Zoro.
Character development
Smoker's second and the Marines' conscience in a sword belt: a Master Chief who believes named blades belong with people who honor them — and keeps a catalogue of every legendary sword in her head. Loguetown puts her across Zoro over a blade she recognizes, and the rivalry that follows teaches her the gap between respect and rivalry is smaller than she thought.
Powers & abilities
- Strong kenjutsu — a genuine duelist's skill with the katana
- Encyclopedic knowledge of named blades — identifies them on sight
- Steadfast courage — stands her ground against monsters twice her size
The actor
Julia Rehwald — as Tashigi · Season 2.
Julia Rehwald is an American actress whose breakout was Netflix's Fear Street trilogy — the same horror pedigree as crewmate Emily Rudd. Tashigi is her sequel to that success: an earnest, sword-obsessed Marine who refuses to be anyone's sidekick.
Known for
- One Piece (Netflix, 2026–)
- Fear Street trilogy
The casting story
Rehwald was announced as Tashigi in the June 2024 Season 2 reveal, beside Callum Kerr's Smoker — Tudum introducing her as Smoker's second-in-command with the passion for swords. She trained in sword work for the role, and Season 2 is her Loguetown introduction: glasses, katana, and a sense of justice that puts her on a collision course with Zoro.
Why this casting works
Julia Rehwald (Fear Street) trained in sword work for the role. Netflix announced her beside Kerr in 2024; Season 2 is her Loguetown introduction.
The fan corner
Fans were quick to note the Fear Street reunion happening inside the Marines, and the early Rehwald-as-Tashigi stills cleared the design bar that matters most: the glasses stayed. The community's real excitement is scheduled for later — the Loguetown sword moment that defines Tashigi and Zoro's rivalry.
