While Oda-sensei deserves huge praise for the creation of Luffy, Mayumi Tanaka brought this fan-favorite character to life. In aninterview, Tanaka revealed the challenges she faced when she took over as Luffy’s voiceover. She revealed:
I am who I am, and so when I get called for an event I believe that all I really can do is do my best so that the people then and there could enjoy themselves. No one really tells me what to do anymore. They probably gave up a long time ago (laughs). In terms of personality, my character and I have a lot of similarities, so he really is a character that is easy to portray. But there will always be a gap between us, since I’m a woman playing a man’s role, and there’s a huge age gap between us as well. But as long as people enjoy that gap and those differences then I’d be more than happy to be out front and center.
Mayumi Tanaka is renowned for voicing our beloved protagonist, who’s celebrated by many as a favorite character for his goofy personality and unwavering will. She revealed how the age gap between Luffy and herself made it a bit challenging for the voice artist to carry forward the same energy. On top of that, voicing over another gender came along with its own set of challenges.
