One Piece: Red is on the horizon, and it won’t be much longer until the Straw Hat crew has the film in its sights. After all, the big movie will follow the team as Luffy reunites with Shanks and the Yonko’s daughter after a long time apart. This means new cast members will be joining One Piece to bring this adventure to life, and it seems the series’ latest additions are bonafide heavyweights.
The update comes straight from Toei Animation as One Piece announced its latest cast additions. It turns out Shanks’ little girl will be handled by two actors, Ado and Kaori Nazuka. The latter will be familiar to fans as Nazuka voices Toru Hagakure in My Hero Academia. And as for Ado, she is a beloved pop star who regularly tops the charts in Japan.

It turns out Ado will not be alone in their work on One Piece‘s music. Seven additional artists have been brought in to collab with Ado on tracks. Yuta Orisaka, Hiroyuki Sawano, Motohiro Hata, FAKETYPE, Vaundy, Mrs. Greenapple, and Yasutaka Nakata have joined the film’s squad. And if the last name listed sounds familiar, that is because they helped bring music to One Piece Film Z years ago!
