List of One Piece characters

The protagonists of the One Piece series

The One Piece manga and anime series features an extensive cast of characters created by Eiichiro Oda. The series takes place in a fictional universe where vast numbers of pirates, soldiers, revolutionaries, and other adventurers fight each other, using various superhuman and supernatural abilities. The series' storyline follows the adventures of a group of pirates as they search for the series titular treasure.

The main character of the series is Monkey D. Luffy, a young pirate who wishes to succeed Gold Roger, the deceased King of the Pirates, by finding his treasure, the One Piece. During the course of series, Luffy gathers himself a crew of misfits, named the Straw Hat Pirates, so far including the three-swords-wielding Roronoa Zoro, the master thief and expert navigator Nami, the cowardly marksman and inventor Usopp, the gourmet cook and martial-artist Sanji, the anthropomorphic reindeer and doctor Tony Tony Chopper, the archaeologist Nico Robin, the cyborg shipwright Franky, and the living skeleton musician Brook. Together they sail the seas in pursuit of their dreams, encountering other pirates, bounty hunters, criminal organizations, revolutionaries, secret agents and soldiers of the World Government, and various other friends and foes.

Creation and conception

When drawing One Piece, Eiichiro Oda was heavily influenced by the manga Dragon Ball and had the series in mind when designing his characters. Several characters have been stated to be based on actual people, such as Blackbeard (Marshall D. Teach) and Whitebeard (Edward Newgate) being based on the actual pirate Blackbeard (Edward Teach).^ch.474

Protagonists

The protagonists of the One Piece series are part of the Straw Hat Pirates, or Straw Hats, a crew of pirates, founded and captained by Monkey D. Luffy. Starting out with Luffy alone, the crew's number grows throughout the series, as Luffy keeps recruiting new members.

Monkey D. Luffy

Main article: Monkey D. Luffy

Monkey D. Luffy (モンキー・D・ルフィ, Monkī D. Rufi), nicknamed "Straw Hat", is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and primary protagonist of the One Piece series. At the beginning of the series, he accidentally eats a devil fruit, causing his body to gain the properties of highly stretchable rubber.^ch.1 These properties are a result of Oda's desire for the fighting style to be silly, so that no matter how tense a situation gets, the reader can relax without becoming stressed out. After his life is saved by Shanks when he is seven years old, Luffy decides to achieve the tantamount goals of finding the series' titular treasure and succeeding Gold Roger as King of the Pirates.^ch.1 Ten years later, wearing Shanks' straw hat, he sets out to sea to gather a crew and sail the Grand Line, where the One Piece is supposedly hidden.^ch.7 Luffy ranked first in all three Shōnen Jump character popularity polls. He is voiced by Mayumi Tanaka in the Japanese version of the anime.^ep.1 In the English dubs, he is voiced by Bella Hudson for 4Kids Entertainment^ep.1 and by Colleen Clinkenbeard for Funimation Entertainment.^ep.1

He also sleeps a great deal and loves to drink.

Zoro ranked second in all three Shōnen Jump character popularity polls. Furthermore, in a 2007 poll by Oricon, Zoro was voted as the 4th most desired character to receive a spinoff. DVD Talk praises Zoro's "hilarious" three-sword fighting style as a great example of the show's sense of humor. Holly Ellingwood from Activeanime praised Zoro's fight against Luffy as one of the best moments from the 10th DVD from the series released by Viz Media, praising the action scenes. Zoro is voiced by Kazuya Nakai in the Japanese version of the anime.^ep.2 In the English dubs, he is voiced by Marc Diraison for 4Kids^ep.2 and by Christopher Sabat for Funimation.^ep.2 Sabat's work with Zoro has resulted in him being a nominated of the category "Best Voice Actor (English)" in the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (SPJA) Awards from 2008. Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network commented on Sabat's work with Zoro as a "standout", noting that Zoro and Sabat are "well-matched.

Nami

Nami (ナミ) is the crew's 18-year-old^ch.27 navigator and thief. She has the ability to recognize and analyze even the slightest changes in the weather up to the point of sheer intuition.^ch.130 She is also an excellent pickpocket.^ch.95 Her dream is to draw a complete map of the world.^ch.77 Throughout the series, Nami fights using a bō-like staff that is made up of three connectable segments. Usopp later provides her with a version of this weapon capable of controlling weather, called the Clima-Tact (天候棒, Kurima Takuto, renamed as "Climate Baton" in the English manga and as "Weather Forcer" in the 4Kids dub).^ch.190 Even later, Usopp augments the Clima-Tact with dials, making it more powerful.^ch.368 Nami ranked in the Top 10 of all three Shōnen Jump character popularity polls. Her backstory has been found to be a "touching story" as it "unfolds with a lot of emotion" by Mania Entertainment writer, Jarred Pine. Pine also mentioned Nami was his favorite character from the series, and satisfied with how the manga showed her past. While reviewing the 8th DVD from Viz Media, Activeanime mentioned Nami is one of the best characters from the series as "She’s got guts, smarts, and can heft a mean punch when needed".

Nami is voiced by Akemi Okamura in the Japanese version of the anime.^ep.1 In the English dubs, she is voiced by Kerry Williams for 4Kids,^ep.1 and by Luci Christian for Funimation.^ep.1 In the SPJA 2008, Nami was nominated in the category "Best Female Character".

When a reader asked Oda who Nami is in romantic love with, Oda answered that there will likely not be any romance among the Straw Hat Pirates.

Tony Tony Chopper

Tony Tony Chopper (トニートニー・チョッパー, Tonī Tonī Choppā) is the doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates.^ch.154 He is a blue-nosed reindeer, who gained human properties by eating the zoan-type devil fruit called Human-Human Fruit (ヒトヒトの実, Hito Hito no Mi).^ch.140 The fruit-granted ability allows him to change between three forms. His first and original form is that of a reindeer. In his second form, he has the proportions of a human child, while retaining his antlers, hooves, and fur. In his third form, he looks like a brawny man with fur. In addition to his normal transformations, Chopper developed a drug he calls Rumble Ball (ランブル・ボール, Ranburu Booru), which allows him to assume four additional forms for the duration of three minutes. These forms focus on certain aspects of his body to improve his physical abilities. These are broken down into "points" in the Japanese version and "boost" in the English versions called: guard, horn, jumping, and arm point with the original three becoming walk, brain, and heavy point.^ch.149,186 If Chopper uses a second Rumble Ball within six hours, he cannot control his transformations.^ch.406 If he uses a third Rumble Ball within six hours of the first, he transforms into a monstrous version of himself and loses all self-control.^ch.407 He also has the ability to understand other animals' speech, because he is an animal himself.^ch.154 What he is not capable of, however, is hiding his feelings.^ch.140

When creating Chopper, Oda stated that he wanted a mascot who is both cute and fearless. An IGN review of the manga praised Chopper's character as one of the best in the series and said that he was able to be both touching and funny. Chopper ranked in the Top 5 of both Shōnen Jump character popularity polls since the character's introduction. Chopper is voiced by Ikue Ōtani in the Japanese version of the anime.^ep.83 In the English dubs, he is voiced by Lisa Ortiz for 4Kids^ep.51 and by Brina Palencia for Funimation.

Luffy, and alliance that, while weak, has proven itself on a number of occasions. He is now taking part in the Battle of Marineford alongside the other Impel Down escapees. Crocodile only allowed Mr. 3 to hold his position in the organization as "Mr. 3" because Mr. 4 was too mentally slow. Otherwise, he would have been much lower ranked. In Impel Down, he proves his overall lack of fighting spirit on a number of occasions. He acted like a coward and backed up Buggy's escape plan rather then Luffy's much more dangerous advancement to the lower levels. After Magellan shows up on the fleeing group during their escape, Mr. 3 shows a moment of bravery, but admitted he could only hold it together for a brief moment. Mr. 3 ate the Doru Doru no Mi, a Devil Fruit which allows him to tap infinite amounts of a special candle wax from his body. He can manipulate this wax to form any shape he desires, control its motion in both liquid and hardened states, and harden it to become as strong as steel. He usually crafts artistic weapons with such wax, which, when used at its maximum peak, was strong enough to take down a pirate with a bounty of 42,000,000. He can also manipulate a small amount of fire.

Merchandise

Several types of merchandise have been produced based on the likeness of the characters in the One Piece series, such as cushions, clothing, towels, key chains, and clocks, as well as several lines of figurines, action figures and plush dolls, including crossovers with other series. Many characters are also featured on trading cards from the One Piece Collectible Card Game and other products ranging from calendars to bath salts.

Reception

Anime News Network (ANN) comments that the male character designs of the One Piece manga are "often quite varied and unique", while the female ones become "a bit repetitive". They further note that, as the characters are "defined by what they seek", there is little room "for actual development", but they also point out that the series is driven by its battles in which the main characters each take their "turn in the spotlight". DVD talk simply states that the series' characters have a lot of charm.

In a review of The Desert Princess and the Pirates: Adventures in Alabasta, ANN describes the visual style of One Piece as "unconventional" with "grotesquely exaggerated expressions, simple eyes, big mouths and bigger teeth", "supremely ugly supporting characters and skinny, gangly-limbed main cast" and comments that "it's all amazingly distinctive, utterly appropriate, and surprisingly cool—in a goofy kind of way." In the same review, they note that "Funimation's English dub is light-years better than the 4Kids debacle", "unusually accurate, professional, and largely enjoyable, which is far, far more than can be said of the previous dub", but note that Funimation's version of "Crocodile loses his sepulchral charisma" and that "the original's fine dance on the edge of mawkish sentimentality is disrupted often enough by less-than-stellar acting". They also state that "Colleen Clinkenbeard's Luffy is more a generic spunky kid than a personality in his own right, really coming to life only during the action scenes during which she does a fine job of being darned cool."

In another review of The Desert Princess and the Pirates: Adventures in Alabasta, Blu-ray.com comments that the Japanese and Funimation voice-acting is "fairly good, but not exceptional" and sometimes "overly zany".

In a review of the second DVD release of 4Kids Entertainment's dub, DVD talk notes "the daunting cast of characters, both good and bad", which "vary from cool and collected to rampaging psychopaths" as "one of the appealing factors" of the anime. In the same review they said that "Some of the voices were pretty irritating ... with a lot of high-pitches and over exaggerated speech."

Splashcomics comments that the "brilliant" (German: "genial") flashbacks into the characters' pasts make them so "likeable and lovable" (German: "sympathisch und liebenswert") and that they are the manga's real strength.

Mania Entertainment writer Jarred Pine comments that Oda's characters are "whacky" and that his "bizarre" character designs create "wonderful characterizations and personalities". He notes the "well illustrated" facial expressions and says that "it's the whacky characterizations and designs that makes One Piece its own".

In a review of Funimation Entertainment's second DVD release for Mania Entertainment, Bryce Coulter comments that "One Piece's bizarre character designs will keep your attention as they can be very random and often memorable. Not the prettiest, but it will definitely capture your attention."
