However, he doesn’t just get the perfect character design on the first try. Over the years, he has created multiple character designs and rejected them so that he can achieve the perfect aspect for the character that matches his presence with the storyline or arc he is in. The perfect example of this is the Navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates, Nami.
Compared to the beginning of One Piece, Nami has developed quite a lot in terms of character and her physical appearance just like other characters. However, a resurfaced concept...
