PoH (プー) is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in Sword Art Online as well as the leader and founder of the red guild: «Laughing Coffin», known for his large knife and catch phrase "It's show time."

His guild was later destroyed by other players in SAO, but his whereabouts were not known, as he was not among the Laughing Coffin members that were captured. He is presumed to be alive as he was not listed as one of the dead players after the death game was cleared by Kirito after killing Heathcliff.

Appearance
PoH wears a dark colored hooded cloak and wields a large knife that looks similar to a butcher knife.

Kirito recalls that «PoH» had an exotic, handsome appearance and was a multilingual player who was well versed in three languages (English, Japanese, and Spanish). Kirito describes «PoH» as a talented dagger user who's dagger was like an "extension of his arm".

A Murder Case in the Area


He makes his first appearance in April, 2024, along with two other guild members, Red-Eyed XaXa and Johnny Black. They were hired by Grimlock to assassinate Schmitt, Caynz and Yolko, who were all members of their old guild, the Golden Apple, as an attempt to cover up the truth behind Griselda's assassination. PoH and his companions were driven off by Kirito, who threatened that he had called for reinforcements from the clearers, making him unable to kill his intended targets.

August, 2024
In August, 2024, Laughing Coffin members were defeated by a force of clearers in a crusade, which would come to be known as the largest death count, with more than 30 players killed in a single fight in Sword Art Online, against the guild. However, the leader of the guild, PoH, was not found in the list of dead or captured people at the end of the battle. PoH's whereabouts after the battle are unknown because there was no sign of him anywhere. However, he is presumed to be alive, as he was not in the list of the dead players.

October, 2024
A couple of months later, PoH watched Kirito and Kuradeel's duel in Kamdet, the main settlement on the 74th Floor, and quietly left after the duel was over. Sometime later, PoH heard that Kuradeel wished to kill Kirito, and thus recruited him into what remained of the Laughing Coffin, even teaching him how to make poisoned water that inflicted paralysis.
