Netflix announced at Anime Expo 2023 that the One Piece live-action Japanese dub will use the anime's voice actors. The announce also included a video of Iñaki Godoy meeting Mayumi Tanaka, who has played Luffy in the anime and game adaptations of the years.
As the Netflix One Piece live-action adaptation doesn’t feature the full Straw Hat crew, only the Japanese voice actors for Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji will appear for the Japanese dub. Here’s the list of who will appear:
- Luffy: Mayumi Tanaka
- Nami: Akemi Okamura
- Sanji: Hiroaki Hirata
- Usopp: Kappei Yamaguchi
- Zoro: Kazuya Nakai
And here's the video of Godoy and Tanaka meeting. It also features the other four main members of the live-action adaptation's cast talking about the show.
