Exciting news has just come in for One Piece fans. At Anime Expo 2023 in Los Angeles, fans of the show were treated with a special video from Netflix featuring Mayumi Tanaka, the voice of Monkey D. Luffy in the original anime version of One Piece. In the video, Tanaka could be seen gifting Iñaki Godoy, who plays the live-action Luffy, with the character's straw hat to officially welcome the actor into the Straw Hats. It was also revealed that Tanaka will be joined by the rest of the full cast of the anime to reprise their roles for the Japanese-language dub of the live-action show.
“I’ve been voicing Luffy for more than 23 years now, and I think everyone has a little bit of Luffy in their heart," Tanaka says. "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."
The voiceover artist added, "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."
The full Japanese voice cast includes Mayumi Tanaka as Monkey D. Luffy; Kazuya Nakai as Roronoa Zoro; Akemi Okamura as Nami; Kappei Yamaguchi as Usopp; and Hiroaki Hirata as Sanji.
