The original author, Eiichiro Oda, praised the role of Luffy in the live-action version of ONE PIECE, saying, 'I can't imagine anyone but you.'

Mr. Inaki, who came to Japan, decided to meet Mr. Eiichiro Oda, the original author. Mr. Oda occasionally appears in the media, but since he does not show his face, Mr. Inaki expresses that he can meet a secret person like Batman.



Mr. Oda calls out 'Inyaki!' and the two hug tightly.



Regarding the live-action film adaptation, Mr. Oda recalled that when the serialization started, it was not an era where works like ONE PIECE could be visualized.



After that, due to the advancement of CG and VFX technology, he said that he thought, 'I can do it if I leave it to a reliable staff.'



However, the difficult point is 'Can you find a person like Luffy?'



Mr. Oda met Mr. Inaki while auditioning over and over again. When Mr. Oda saw Mr. Inaki, he felt that it was 'Luffy' and laughed unintentionally.



On the other hand, Mr. Inaki, who loves ONE PIECE and said it was a dream to play Luffy, said, 'My wish is to play Luffy for a long time.'



Mr. Inaki's Luffy is endorsed by the original author, 'I can't imagine anyone but you.'



Mr. Inaki wrote a letter with an illustration of Luffy for Mr. Oda. I directly conveyed a message of gratitude, 'Thank you for ONE PIECE and Luffy.'



Mr. Oda also said, 'I'm grateful that you were born like Luffy.'



At the end, Mr. Oda entrusted the straw hat to Mr. Inaki.



The Netflix original series `` ONE PIECE '' will be exclusively distributed worldwide from Thursday, August 31, 2023.

In the Japanese dubbed version, the original cast of the anime version has been decided, such as Mayumi Tanaka playing the role of Luffy. The dubbed version trailer looks like this.
