Interview
This was an interview with One Piece author Eiichiro Oda which was published in the One Piece: Blue Grand Data File volume. Unlike many interviews where author Oda is in the presence of co-workers or individuals he does/must respect, this was a one-on-one interview and it is very possible to see his jovial and relaxed nature coming through which readers have come to love through his SBS segements. This book went on sale in Japan on August 7th, 2002. The information is accurate as of publishing, but no date was provided for the interview. To my knowledge this is the first time this has appeared in English anywhere so I would appreciate your cooperation in not spreading a copied and pasted version for posting on other websites. I do, however, strongly encourage anyone to use this as a resource or as a starting point to create their own translation. I have attempted to "translocalize" this as much as possible. That said, in instances where I have altered the original text I have clearly made note of any such changes below Oda's answer. I should also point out that since much of the interview centers on a 'personal' and thereby distinctly foreign aspect of Oda's life (to anyone not born to Japanese parents in Japan at any rate) I have made every attempt to explain or provide additional information on people, places or things that Oda mentions which non-Japanese individuals may not be familiar with. Please direct any other questions you might have to me and I would be happy to discuss them with you. Thank you all and please enjoy.

Q.04 What magazine do you read with great pleasure?
JUMP
Q.05 Which performer are you into?
B&B
[Yoshichi Shimada and Yohachi Shimada?s manzai comedy pair that is now no longer performing. In fact, it is impressive that Oda even knows they exist. They began their routine in 1972 before Oda was even born. This is likely due to a brief revival of their routine in the early 1990?s. Both members were pupils of Yonosuke Shimada (hence their stage name including Shimada) who was also the mentor for the incorrigible Shinsuke Shimada. Most recently, Yohachi Shimada had a role in the film Samehada Otoko to Momojiri Onna ?Sharkskin Man & Peach Hip Girl? which is available in the US.]
Q.06 Morning Musume. Who do you like best?
KEN SHIMURA
[If you?re a Morning Musume fan then I suppose this steams you but Oda?s emphatic response is really quite funny. Morning Musume is the ever-changing choir famous for its prepubescent singers with an army of Lolita-complex crazed fans. In the early 21st Century timeless comedian Ken Shimura did several acts on television with the girls and even participated as his famous character Baka Tono ?Idiot Prince? in a MM subgroup (yes, one of the many) single, Ai~n! The Dance Song. Oda is essentially dumping any and all interest in the real group here. Note that more than once, Oda has made reference to Ken Shimura?s routines. He has stated that on the cover of Vol. 3, Luffy is performing one of Shimura?s poses, ?Ai~n?. Chopper?s happy dance seen throughout the series is also mimicking the dance of yet another one of Shimura?s characters. Most recently in Vol. 34, Oda again referenced Shimura?s Idiot Prince character by placing a wig from Foxy?s dressing room on Luffy in the SBS. WHEW!]
Q.07 Up to now, what video game have you gotten into the most?
Dragon Quest
[Oda used the usual term ?dorakue? for the series]
Q.08 Which singers do you like?
Bryan Adams, Izumi Katou, Eminem, Brooke Benton.
[Bryan Adams? 0_o Eminem?! O_O Anyway, here is Izumi Kato?s official site. Any other of these jokers should be relatively familiar.]
Q.09 What kind of music do you listen to at your place of work?
Soul.
Q.10 Please tell me your top three favorite films?
Seven Samurai, Young Guns, Nightmare Before Christmas.
Q.11 What movie genre do you like and dislike?
Like Westerns, dislike tear jerkers.
Q.12 What movie has made you cry the most?
Nausicaa
Q.13 Do you have a particular favorite Director, actor or actress?
Akira Kurosawa, Hayao Miyazaki, Tim Burton, Baz Luhrmann, Tarantino.
[Baz Luhrmann directed Moulin Rouge]
Q.14 What novel do you like?
The Adventurers (Boukensha tachi)
[So long as I?m not confusing the piece, the full title is The Adventurers - Gamba and His 15 Companions. Of interesting note, that ?companions? is nakama in the title. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! I have not read the book, but it looks to be one of a series of books that deal with Redwall-like adventures. An animated version of this was also released as a movie and includes the voice talent of Masako Nozawa famous for playing the voice of Son Goku and also in One Piece as Dr. Kureha.]
Q.15 What genre of Western clothing do you like?
Period fashion.
Q.16 What?s your favorite play spot?
Ebisu Garden Place
[Not too shabby Oda.]
Work
Q.01 What is necessary for becoming a manga author?
Something you want to draw. And a deep persistant soul.
Q.02 Please tell us those who you experienced being an assistant for in the past..
Shinobu Kaitani sensei, Masaya Tokuhiro sensei and Nobuhiro Watsuki.
[Shinobu Kaitani was author of Midoriyama Police Gang]
[Masaya Tokuhiro was the author of Jungle King Tar-chan]
[Nobuhiro Watsuki, as mentioned above, was the author of Rurouni Kenshin]
Q.03 Since becoming a manga author, what has changed around you?
I get called ?sensei? so I feel somewhat embarrassed but grateful.
Q.04 In the creation of manga, what is your schedule for one week?
Three days of sketching and three days of working on the final piece.
Q.05 What is your attire while drawing manga?
Suit (That?s a lie) Full-body tights (That?s an even bigger lie)
Q.06 Around what times do you usually get up and then go to bed?
Depends what I feel like.
Q.07 In order to become Oda sensei?s assistant, what should one do?
Depend on your luck.
Q.08 When is it that you gets your ideas flowing?
When I head to my desk and think.
Q.09 The characters that appear in One Piece are filled with personality. Is there a secret key to making your characters?
Meeting lots of different people. And just how I feel.
Q.10 When creating new characters, what do you use as a design reference?
Stuff like Western clothing and things from around that area.
Q.11 In continually drawing manga, was there ever anything that you would consider painful?
When I can?t make a story well.
Q.12 If you were to make a new penname for yourself, what would you make it?
Oda Topknot or There We Goro.
[Oda actually says ?Oda Chonmage?. A chonmage is the topknot seen on samurai.]
[Oda actually says ?Yokkora Goro?. The phrase ?yokkora shoi? is commonly used when moving oneself, say for example out of a really comfy chair (usually by older women) hence my attempt at somewhat carrying the pun. Oda is also having fun here using the name Goro as the ?go? means 5 and the ?ro? is the last character of his first name.]
The Piece

All of them.
Q.02 If you were to eat a Devil?s Fruit, which would you eat?
BARA BARA FRUIT
Q.03 Oda sensei becomes a pirate. What is your crew?s name?
Our Feet Firmly Planted in the Ground Pirate Crew
[Oda actually says ?Funbari Kaizokudan?. The verb funbaru is to firmly brace one?s legs.]
Q.04 Will there be any more members joining the Luffy Pirate Crew?
That depends on Luffy?s heart?s content.
Other
Q.01 Regarding Sensei?s home prefecture, is there a special product from Kumamoto you would like to recommend?
Sliced raw horsemeat and lotus root with mustard. They?re delicious so eat em? up.
[The dishes in Japanese are ?basashi? and ?karashirenkon?
Here is a picture of basashi and some other interesting Japanese foods.]
Q.02 While sleeping, what kind of dreams do you have?
Dreams about products that can?t be made with present technology.
