Portrayed by Japanese actor Mackenyu, Zoros debut impressed both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
A longtime fan ofOne Piece, Mackenyu did not approach Zoro as just another role.

Im a huge One Piece fan, I love Zoro.
I didnt want to change him.
I wanted to be loyal to the manga, but series scripts were different.

I took the time to embody what manga Zoro is like & I did my best to deliver that.
His portrayal did not feel like a performance, but a manifestation of the character fans already knew.
Being a fan himself, he knew what viewers expected and did not want to let them down.
