Any One Piece fan out there? Aye aye! The original Japanese voice actors from the ONE PIECE anime will reprise their roles in the ONE PIECE live-action series。 Exclusively available on Netflix globally on 31 August 2023. Enjoy the live-action pirate adventure story based on the bestselling manga by Eiichiro Oda.
Set in a fantasy world dominated by pirates, One Piece mainly depicts the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a headstrong young captain with the power to stretch like rubber. Since the late 2000s it has been recognized as Japan’s most popular manga, even being commemorated by the Guinness World Records as the world’s best-selling single-author comic book.
The series is created in partnership with Shueisha and produced by Tomorrow Studios and Netflix. Matt Owens and Steven Maeda are writers, executive producers, and showrunners.
Not just one or two, but the entire cast of Japanese original voice actors will unite with Mayumi Tanaka to breathe life into the Japanese-language version of the live-action ONE PIECE. Leading the live-action series are Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji.
“I’ve been voicing Luffy for more than 23 years now, and I think everyone has a little bit of Luffy in their heart. Iñaki, who performs Luffy in this live-action series, is so fun and joyful that he really makes a perfect Luffy! I’m very happy to be able to voice Luffy in this adaptation as well. ONE PIECE is a story whose words and images can resonate with you in different ways depending on your situation or perspective at any given moment, allowing for new discoveries all the time. And of course, nothing would bring me greater joy than if people who’ve never experienced ONE PIECE can become part of the family beginning with this show,” shared Mayumi Tanaka.
Get ready to hear Kazuya Nakai as Roronoa Zoro, Akemi Okamura as Nami, Kappei Yamaguchi as Usopp, and Hiroaki Hirata as Sanji live on Netflix! For more information, please click here.
