Eiichiro Oda

It’s been the top-selling manga in Japan since 2008 and one of the world’s most popular anime series, but who is the creator of One Piece?. Like most other anime series and unlike western comics, One Piece was long a one-man operation. One person did the art and writing for the series and while that isn’t strictly the case anymore, it has kept the series focused and effectively paced despite running for 25 years now. Here’s all you need to know about the mangaka.

"One Piece" is still as relevant as it was when the first chapter came out in July of 1997. Now boasting over 1,000 chapters (that's over 100 volumes), Eiichiro Oda's magnum opus of a manga series has been a Shonen Jump staple for 25 years, as Monkey D. Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat crew embarked on adventure after adventure in order to attain the fabled "One Piece" and become king of the pirates. While the premise may seem simple on the surface, "One Piece" is anything but. The expansive lore and world-building of "One Piece" is second to none, with any single world or arc having enough characters, history, and backstory that could put other shows to shame. It will make for quite a challenge when it comes to Netflix's upcoming live-action adaptation.
