    I think he's just tired of interviewers not doing proper research of the cast' background. It goes to show that these interviewers aren't doing their jobs well and Mackenyu is done with it.

      Doesn’t even necessarily have to be interviewers not doing their research, it’s just one of those general questions they’d ask for the viewer’s sake, no matter what the adaption was. If I remember right the first guy who asked in this vid had a more personally tailored question lined up for him about it but it’s still one of those natural things to throw out for the whole cast to answer

      I think it's good interviewers are like that. If you're Asian, you're not "American" for others. It's cool so far interviewers are not bringing up "oh you're Japanese blah blah blah"
      Let's say for example an ethnically Korean who has an American passport, born and raised in the US. And when he debut as a KPop idol and happens to be in US promoting their song, interviewers are like "your English is phenomenal" like 😂 yo

He had dual citizenship only because he was born in the US (if you're born in the US you are automatically a US citizen regardless of your parents immigration status, this is called the "birthright citizenship"), but he chose to give up his American nationality before the age 20, in accordance with Japan's nationality laws.

    This is insanely relatable to me. I'm half-Japanese and half-white and grew up in Japan, but since I look Hispanic no one assumes I'm Asian or Japanese, so I do the same thing as him haha. I totally get it. I have no shame in being proud of my heritage.

In the West, only anime fans watch anime, but in Japan, everyone watches anime, even if they're not anime fans. It's different from the West. There are anime broadcast on terrestrial TV every day, please don't think from a Western perspective.

      @@astronormi I think what a lot of people don't realize is that anime like One Piece is everywhere in Japan. It's been on forever. The manga is still going on. Everybody knows it. Every year there's some sort of One Piece collaboration with some convenience store chain. You can walk into any 7-11 and they have the newest volumes laid out close to the hot foods and the magazines. If the theme song hits the charts, it's played in random shopping spaces like malls and stores. Every summer, Universal Studios Japan has a One Piece live show. One Piece isn't some niche thing, nor is it some franchise relegated to just TV or just the movie theatre. It is highkey unavoidable, and you may not watch the show or read the manga, but you know what the characters/art style looks like. You've got to be living under a rock to not recognize characters like Tony Tony Chopper and Luffy and Nami. It's kinda like how it feels like everybody in the US has watched SpongeBob at some point in their lives.
      Not all Japanese people like anime, but the questions being asked to the cast are often "were you fans of One Piece before you got the role?" or "did you know about One Piece before you got the role?" The latter question probably feels particularly annoying to someone like Mackenyu because, if you live in Japan for long enough, you probably know about One Piece. If you were a kid/adolescent when it first aired, then you were probably watching it just like every other kid in the country, as if it was some version of Sunday morning cartoons.

    One Piece Day is celebrated on July 22 as the anniversary of One Piece. It was established as an official anniversary by the Japan Anniversary Association in 2017.
    Mackenyu is very proud of being japanese (who happenned to be delivered in US -- I'm joking). Japanese culture is known by its mangas and One Piece is there for decades.
    Mackenyu used to watch japanese movies and was inspired by a japanese actor when he was 15 and made the decision to become an actor.
    My opinion is if I were a journalist, I would study every actor I was about to interview to make different and intelligent question.
    Mackenyu is very educated and intelligent, he might be bored with so many repetitive question.
    Just saying.

    Tbh the one piece interviewers do get some leeway with the anime/one piece fan stuff since those were group questions, and being Japanese doesn't automatically mean you like them.
    But getting those questions repeatedly when you literally are Japanese definitely must be annoying XD

    I relate to this. I'm a halfie like him but I grew up in Thailand (half English) but I also speak in an "international" accent which sounds vaguely American because of all the pop culture I consumed growing up.
    I speak both languages fluently but people always get surprised when I say that I'm Thai first and foremost and they'll say "You don't sound Thai" or "You don't look Thai" or be surprised that I cheer for the Thai national team or consume Thai media and I hardly relate to my British side since I've literally never lived there.

    His father's dream is to have a Japanese actor in Hollywood, and I think he pursues Mackenyu to be in that place. That is why he planned for Mackenyu to be born and study in the US while still having the ethics of being Japanese. You know, the Japanese have difficulties with the American language; that's why it's hard for them to enter Hollywood. But Japan is very famous when it comes to anime and horror movies; no one can beat them.👌
    For sure, his father was really proud of him, seeing Mackenyu living his dream come true.

      Yes, but he's a full Japanese (both parents are Japanese). He stayed in LA until he was in high school, and then moved to Japan where he also started working as an actor. When he turned 18, he denounced his American citizenship since Japan's laws only allow one nationality.
