Ian McKellen is an awesome actor, though he's way to skinny to play someone like Garp. John-Rhys Davies, if you color his hair a bit grey, could be a better Garp

Here's a question all the sudden. Are the models of the 3 marine admirals: Yusaku Matsuda, Kunie Tanaka ,Bunta Sugawara? If not, I apologize. If so and there is an answer, please tell us! P.N. Marimo
Oda's answer: Yes, yes. All of them are correct. The people these days probably don't know. All three guys are real famous actors of Japan. Why you ask, this is simply because I like them. For Mr. Bunta Sugawara, I want to use his face from the movie "Fight with no Respect", but his face is somewhat covered with a hat... just think it was for myself and don't mind it. Even if you don't know him, it's OK as long as you think of him as a "cool"guy. (He also has a voice actor role in "Spirited Away"

The model of Kizaru's face is the Japanese actor, Kunie Tanaka. Along with that, Kizaru's clothes, real name and birthday, Borsalino, are apparently based on a movie character that Kunie Tanaka played in his youth. The character, Borsalino, from the old Japanese film Truck Yarō (トラック野郎), wore a suit and shades similar to Kizaru's design. When first mentioned by Robin, Kizaru's silhouette was seen wearing some kind of large hat which was never seen again. It's a reference to the Italian hat company Borsalino.
Kizaru's lazy and easy-going demeanor is something of a reference to the main characters' approach to crime from the 1970's French film Borsalino.His name and other Admiral names (Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru), are taken from Momotaro legends (Momotaro met Pheasant, Dog, and Monkey as friends to accompany him in his journey.

The model for Aokiji's face is the late actor Yūsaku Matsuda. The character that the actor played in the TV series and movie "Detective Story" (Tantei Monogatari) even had a similar hairstyle, clothing and wore the same sleep mask design. Aokiji's birthday is even based upon Matsuda's.

The way Akainu's character design is drawn resembles the famous Japanese actor, Bunta Sugawara. Akainu's real name, Sakazuki is apparently based on the three movies of Bunta Sugawara with "Sakazuki" in the title. Even Akainu's birthday is based on Sugawara's
