The famous One Piece manga sold over 300 millions copies printed world wide, making it the best-selling manga series in history. The main character Luffy is now collaborating with Japanese classical dance drama called “Kabuki,” meaning “to lean” or “to be out of the ordinary.” The expression of Kabukimono(kabuki dressed people) referred originally to those who were bizarrely dressed and swaggering on streets.

Luffy is set as a simple-minded character in One Piece that leads a small crew of pirates in his adventure. He mostly wears a casual red T-shirt, navy blue short pants, in addition with a hat thats was gifted from a person who saved his life. The Japanese toy maker Bandai made Luffy to dress more colorfully than usual by adding a whole element of Kabuki style.
