Mackenyu Wins Global Groundbreaker for One Asia Award at the 21st Unforgettable Gala

“A huge thank you to the devoted fans of ‘One Piece’ who believed in the story enough to make it what it is today. I wouldn’t be here without you. Thank you.”
Mackenyu, star of Netflix’s live-action “One Piece,” accepts the Global Groundbreaker for One Asia Award presented by his childhood friends actress Karen Fukuhara and comedian Atsuko Okatsuka. A familiar face in anime adaptations, Mackenyu’s masterful take on swordsman Roronoa Zoro breathes new life into the cult-classic anime.

"Hi, Great meeting you." xD

[@ivydowling75]

killed me

[@dianabarajas6128]

She said she didn’t meet him but they both knew Karen and she’s what connected them as a common connecting acquaintances!

[@OmaOmaO]

@@dianabarajas6128 oh shit! My bad xD

[@AtsukoComedy]

lol ya I only knew Karen. She knew both of us

[@MatthewOceanXVX]

Man, he and Taz Skyler put so god damn much into their roles.

[@tkyosmith]

Mackenyu is the perfect actor to play Zoro. Congratulations !!!

[@chrispalmerchanclan]

He totally deserves it! And, he will also now and always forever be-the Worlds Greatest Swordsman! ⚔️🗡️🥷💚🏴‍☠️🏆

[@martacapizzi2461]

also TAKERU SATO ..IS ANOTHER ACTOR AND GREAT SWORDSMAN LIKE MACKENYU..THEY FILMING TOGHETER IN RUROUNI KENSHIN..LOOKS THIS LIVE ACTION..

[@ladychae9105]

​@@martacapizzi2461 but mackenyu was haved a sharpen moved than takeru mackenyu trained swords since he was a child

[@Rose-Kre8Tv]

@@martacapizzi2461 Takeru Sato makes Rurouni Kenshin come alive, but there is no one else suited to be Enishi, like Mackenyu. One of the best live action series out there is the Rurouni Kenshin saga and I'm glad Mackenyu excelled all expectations. I highly recommend watching all those movies!

[@newzealand56]

Atsuko is so funny 🤣

[@MsIsnaini]

I'm so proud of you Mackenyu 👏👏👏
Many more awards are waiting for you in the future.

[@nightyesterday]

Zoro got lost again from the Straw Hats but what a place to be in! Congratulations Mackenyu 🎉.

[@kitkat3548]

The comedian nailed it 😁😁😁❤

[@Whoopslap_King]

Bro said shoutout to Oda! 😂😂😂 I can't!

[@sherylalto]

He is so handsome❤❤ I’ve been a fan of him since Todome no Kiss

[@melymichu6731]

Thank you Mackenyu for bringing to life Zoro! You did such an amazing job along with the cast. The award is very well deserved!

[@martacapizzi2461]

LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH

[@w1-w2-w3]

Mackenyu got Zoro vibe.

[@fshhbsdn1434]

So proud 🎉👍👏

[@bellenomura]

Wait Mackenyu can play piano????!!!!!! Is this a well known fact because why am i not seeing anyone else surprised by this????

[@Sagentleman]

😂😂the guy is a monster...he plays both piano and guitar and very well I might add. He can also sing, dance, fight with both swords and karate

[@adyashady7681]

He could play saxophone too if that's enough

[@bigguy952]

Congrats to Mack for the win

[@christinakoria4518]

Well deserved. This family is a big fan of One Piece. ❤ Congrats!!

[@knkweb]

McKenyu!! He deserves it!! Awesome!! Congratulations!! 😎😎😎🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵

[@DBSMGZon36]

I can't stop staring at his chest

[@freedomlife5316]

適役だよね。英語ペラで刀も達者でたっぱもあって、って彼しかいないやん。いや、海外にはいるのかもだけど、まっけんのように刀づかいが一流的な人を見つけるのは大変でしょう。

[@gpezzina363]

Karen should be Kuina(Tashigi). PLEASEEE

[@mimi19932]

Exactly what I was thinking!!

[@kbonita2378]

マッケン✨ 素晴らしい❣️👍👏

[@thepinoychoppingboard1012]

Lol isn't it funny if he lost his way to the stage just like Zoro getting lost everytime? 😅

[@mmmggrr0569]

[@simonesewitt1040]

[@Haruuuuu02]

Yeah! She also plays Katana in Suicide Squad, I was shocked to hear that she and Mackenyu was in a dojo together when they were little. Amazing how fate brought them together again.

[@mike-m123]

[@pauljohn.zac23]

hot

[@aaviles1948]

This dudes dad is Sony Shiba. He had it made.

[@jaimieliu5706]

It doesn’t mean he isn’t a good actor…he still puts in the work and time and energy. Not all celebrities kids become actors, they still require talent.

[@jaimieliu5706]

He still had to put in the work and energy, he still earned it…
