Tony Tony Chopper, who appears in Eiichiro Oda's ``ONE PIECE,'' has become an official supporter of Médecins Sans Frontières. A new illustration drawn by Oda has been released.
Médecins Sans Frontières is an international medical and humanitarian aid organization that provides emergency medical care in conflict areas, areas affected by natural disasters, and other places where medical care cannot reach. In more than 70 countries and regions, we work to protect the lives of people facing crisis, regardless of race, religion, nationality, or political position, based on the principles of independence, neutrality, and impartiality.
This initiative was carried out because of the overlap between the attitude and way of thinking of Médecins Sans Frontières and the image of Chopper, the ship's doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates, who tries to help people who are suffering from injury or illness without discrimination. Through this, we aim to expand understanding and interest in the medical and humanitarian aid activities of Médecins Sans Frontières.
The newly drawn illustration shows Chopper wearing a T-shirt with the logo on it, a stethoscope hanging from his neck, and holding up the flag of Médecins Sans Frontières. PanPan's emergency medical backpack is modeled after the one used by Médecins Sans Frontières. The running image expressed sympathy with the ``Running Person'' logo, which represents the spirit of Médecins Sans Frontières, which is to rush to those who cannot receive medical care.
A special website introducing Chopper's support activities has been opened. As part of our support activities, we have created a booklet where you can learn about the activities of Médecins Sans Frontières together with Chopper. The contents of the booklet can also be viewed on a special website. In addition, the project ``CHOPPER's'', which depicts Chopper's life in modern times, is a ``journey to learn about'' the activities of Médecins Sans Frontières. It will be published on CHOPPER's official website, SNS accounts, etc. Furthermore, it has been decided that original goods will be produced for charity sales to support the activities of Médecins Sans Frontières. Details will be announced at a later date.
A comment has arrived from Ikue Otani, who plays Chopper in the anime. ``I'm happy that Chopper, the ship's doctor for the Straw Hat Pirates, will be supporting the activities of Médecins Sans Frontières.''
