One Piece Statues in Kumamoto-prefecture
The Great Kumamoto Earthquake occurred in 2016, causing extensive damage throughout
Kumamoto-prefecture. As part of the Kumamoto Reconstruction Project from Earthquake,
the statue of Luffy was erected in the Kumamoto Prefectural Government Promenade in
November 2018. This was realized with the cooperation of Eiichiro Oda, a native of
Kumamoto-city and the author of the popular manga “One Piece,” to support the reconstruction
of the areas affected by the Kumamoto Earthquake.
In November 2020, another 9 statues were erected at other places in Kumamoto-prefecture.
