Original anime Straw Hats Japanese voice actors return to the High Seas in ONE PIECE live action adaptation

ONE PIECE DEBUTS AUGUST 31, ONLY ON NETFLIX

The original Japanese voice actors from the ONE PIECE anime will be reprising their roles in the ONE PIECE live action series, available on Netflix globally on 31 August 2023.

Fans at Anime Expo 2023 in Los Angeles were the first to watch a video of Mayumi Tanaka, the original anime voice of Monkey D. Luffy, welcoming Iñaki Godoy to the Straw Hats with a symbolic gifting of Luffy's iconic straw hat.

The full cast of Japanese original voice actors will be joining Mayumi Tanaka to bring the Japanese-language version of the live-action ONE PIECE to life - with Kazuya Nakai as Roronoa Zoro, Akemi Okamura as Nami, Kappei Yamaguchi as Usopp, and Hiroaki Hirata as Sanji.

"I've been voicing Luffy for more than 23 yearsnow, 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.
