Jigoro is a General Zombie, depicted as a middle-aged man with a thin mustache just below his nose. His head is wrapped in bandages, and he has what looks like a metal casket attached to his legs. He also wears a haramaki, similar to Zoro. His attire includes a yellow shirt with the text "Your Song" and short shorts.
Before becoming a zombie, Jigoro was a samurai who single-handedly killed seven thousand pirates to protect his family. He died at the age of 59.
As a General Zombie, Jigoro was significantly stronger than the lower-ranked zombies on Thriller Bark. With Zoro's shadow infused into him, he could perform Zoro's Santoryu techniques. Despite having no ego left, he still couldn't get along with Inuppe, who had Sanji's shadow, leading to conflicts over orders.
Ultimately, Jigoro's life force was taken away when Moriah absorbed the shadows of all the zombies to increase his own power.
