Description
One Piece (ワンピース) Tony Tony Chopper A dôga drawn in graphite and coloured pencils, used in the production of the One Piece anime, based on the work of Eiichirō Oda (尾田 栄一郎). Produced by Toei Animation 1999–present, Japan H23 L34.5 cm This dôga depicts Chopper in samurai attire from the Wano arc in close-up — a tight frame focusing on the character’s face and torso. The close-up is the most demanding format for a character like Chopper: his round eyes, snout and facial expression must carry the full emotional weight of the shot without the support of his body or surroundings. In the Wano arc, Chopper alternates between moments of humour (his miniature samurai outfit, which is far too big for him) and sequences of intense medical emergencies — he is the crew’s sole doctor in a country ravaged by a disease deliberately unleashed by Kaido. This close-up in his samurai outfit captures precisely this duality: the crew’s most endearing character in his most offbeat costume, framed as a leading figure in a serious narrative moment. The Wano samurai outfit is one of the character’s most beloved costume variations across the entire franchise — and this close-up dôga is the direct production still of it.
