The Netflix adaptation features a talented ensemble, including Inaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Emily Rudd as Nami, Mackenyu Arata as Roronoa Zoro, Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji.

Capturing the Essence of the Characters

Showrunners Steve Maeda and Matt Owens, along with One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda, have shared insights into the audition process and the efforts taken to truly capture the essence of each character.

Inaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy

Inaki Godoy takes on the role of Monkey D. Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. Finding the perfect actor to portray Luffy was a daunting task, but Eiichiro Oda was thrilled when he discovered Inaki. He felt that Inaki embodied the spirit of Luffy, just like the character he had created in the manga. Inaki, a Mexican actor, has previously appeared in Netflix series such as The Imperfects and Who Killed Sara?

Emily Rudd as Nami

Emily Rudd portrays Nami, the expert navigator and cartographer of the Straw Hat Pirates. As a dedicated One Piece fan, Emily went above and beyond to prepare for the role. Even before the audition, she dyed her hair red and styled it to match Nami’s iconic look. Emily, an American actress, is known for her role in Netflix’s “Fear Street” film series.

Mackenyu Arata as Roronoa Zoro

Mackenyu Arata brings to life Roronoa Zoro, the formidable “Pirate Hunter” with dreams of becoming the world’s greatest swordsman. Mackenyu’s dedication to martial arts and swordplay made him a perfect fit for the role. He has been practicing Kyokushin Karate since childhood and has honed his skills in gymnastics and water polo. Mackenyu, a Japanese actor, has appeared in notable films such as Rurouni Kenshin: The Final and the live-action adaptation of Chihayafuru.

Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp

Jacob Romero Gibson plays Usopp, the born storyteller and sharpshooter of the Straw Hat Pirates. Jacob’s commitment to the role extended to mastering the use of a slingshot, Usopp’s weapon of choice. Through practice, he achieved impressive accuracy, even hitting a cup from a table 30 yards away. Jacob is an American actor known for his appearances in the medical drama Grey’s Anatomy.

Taz Skylar as Sanji

Taz Skylar takes on the role of Sanji, the fashionable and talented chef of the Straw Hat Pirates. To fully embody the character, Taz dedicated himself to mastering knife-handling skills and spent three months working in restaurants to learn tasks like chopping onions. He also underwent a four-month training process to perfect the iconic kick technique of the Black Leg Style. Taz, a British actor, has appeared in crime and war movies such as “Villain” and “The Kill Team.”
