In _One Piece_ episode 856 "The Forbidden Secret! Katakuri's Merienda!", the
cooks who bring Katakuri's lunch say that no one has ever seen Katakuri while
he is eating, and her sister Brulee says that he has never once been on his
back since he was born. But when Luffy breaks the house made of Mochi by
Katakuri, it is seen that he was lying on his back and eating with his big
mouth.

So, what happened to Katakuri's mouth that it is so big and horrifying? Why
does he hide his mouth and also from everyone while he is eating? Why does he
murder the cooks when he is exposed by Luffy?

What happened to Katakuri's mouth?


**What happened to Katakuri's mouth?** It was [due to his fast eating
habits](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Charlotte_Katakuri#Past) that caused
his mouth to greatly expand. I'm no medical expert so I'm not sure if this is
possible in real life.

**Why does he hide his mouth?** Mostly due to **insecurity** (I mean, if it
were me, I'd probably also hide my mouth). As stated in the
[wiki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Charlotte_Katakuri#Personality), he is
very sensitive to the point that he would attack anyone who sees his mouth.

**He also hides himself from everyone while he is eating.** Because he is
gluttonous and seems to value his snack time greatly. From the
[wiki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Charlotte_Katakuri#Personality), it is
stated that:

> ...Katakuri is extremely private about his eating habits, as he is extremely
> gluttonous and slovenly, talking to himself in ecstasy about the quality of
> the food. He loves donuts and enjoys gorging on them since childhood. For
> this reason, he eats his snacks in solitude, and this is the only time he
> uncovers his mouth...

answer


You can find the answer in [Charlotte
Katakuri](http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Charlotte_Katakuri)

According to this,

> Katakuri consciously tries to maintain his noble appearance as a person who
> is not glutinous and lazy. His attempt at keeping up his appearance is good
> to the point where nobody ever sees him acting without manners.

Also in the next paragraph it is said that,

> Katakuri is insecure about showing his mouth to anyone since he was bullied
> as a child for showing his mouth around his family. He prefers to cover it
> up in most of his appearances.
