Netflix’s One Piece live-action is currently the hottest series out there. The show has been breaking different view records after being released just a couple of days ago. Due to this, it is no surprise that the success of the adaptation also has the cast members in the spotlight after its premiere. In this case, we will tell you about Mackenyu Maeda, as he is probably the character who has gained the most momentum in the series thanks to his perfectly executed role as Ronronoa Zoro in One Piece.
Mackenyu Maeda, better known as Mackenyu in the entertainment world is a United States-born actor with Japanese background. He has gained popularity in Asia for starring in different doramas (Japanese dramas) and playing important characters in different movies or show adaptations of manga series. Mackenyu is fluent in English as he studied in Beverly Hills High School and is currently married to actress Natsumi Okamoto.
When it comes to his social media profiles, you can find the Japanese actor on Instagram as @mackenyu. He has 3,9 million followers on the social media platform since his popularity sky-rocketed after the premiere of One Piece on Netflix. He was able to get about one million followers thanks to his character in the live-action adaptation.
Back when the cast was revealed earlier this year and the live-action adaptation was confirmed, tons of people reacted negatively and expected the show to fail. However, Eiichiro Oda (the creator of One Piece) worked closely with Netflix to bring the series to life and it turned out to be really good. The cast did justice to all the anime/manga characters, especially Mackenyu who was able to portray Roronoa Zoro to perfection and became the most talked-about member of the series on social media after the launch of the Netflix series.
Besides One Piece, the Japanese superstar has also worked on more than 40 projects, including series, movies, live-action, doramas, and musicals. He is also a fashion ambassador for GATSBY. The actor has a promising future due to his talent and spectacular visual!
