Mackenyu Wins Global Groundbreaker for One Asia Award at the 21st Unforgettable Gala

“A huge thank you to the devoted fans of ‘One Piece’ who believed in the story enough to make it what it is today. I wouldn’t be here without you. Thank you.”
Mackenyu, star of Netflix’s live-action “One Piece,” accepts the Global Groundbreaker for One Asia Award presented by his childhood friends actress Karen Fukuhara and comedian Atsuko Okatsuka. A familiar face in anime adaptations, Mackenyu’s masterful take on swordsman Roronoa Zoro breathes new life into the cult-classic anime.

Atsuko is so funny 🤣

[@MatthewOceanXVX]

Man, he and Taz Skyler put so god damn much into their roles.

​@@martacapizzi2461 but mackenyu was haved a sharpen moved than takeru mackenyu trained swords since he was a child

[@Rose-bi1uf]

@@martacapizzi2461 Takeru Sato makes Rurouni Kenshin come alive, but there is no one else suited to be Enishi, like Mackenyu. One of the best live action series out there is the Rurouni Kenshin saga and I'm glad Mackenyu excelled all expectations. I highly recommend watching all those movies!

[@MsIsnaini]

I'm so proud of you Mackenyu 👏👏👏
Many more awards are waiting for you in the future.

Yeah! She also plays Katana in Suicide Squad, I was shocked to hear that she and Mackenyu was in a dojo together when they were little. Amazing how fate brought them together again.
