∞ Official Thread ∞

☆ Who or what is is Pandaman ☆

Pandaman's appearance is that of muscle bounded figure with a panda face for a head. On it is the word Panda written across his forehead. Whether this is a mask or his real face remains to be seen. His arms are black with bamboo tattoos. On his chest are two heart tattoos. In the series, his appearance would often differ from scene to scene. In one scene, he could be seen as a skinny individual with no black arms or tattoos at all. This is apparently because in order to be properly hidden in some scenes and such, Pandaman's body features require to be less detailed. The only thing that remains constant however is his panda head.

Throughout the series he appears along the crowds and backgrounds everywhere and anytime as an easter egg character. He can be found posing as a citizen, a pirate, a Government agent, and many others. He can even be found in flashbacks, even a 400 year old flashback.

☆ History of Pandaman ☆

Pandaman was originally created by Oda for a character design contest called the "New Super Human Contest". This contest allowed artists to submit character designs for wrestlers to be included in the popular anime and manga series Kinnikuman. In December 16, 1998, the comic in which these designs would be included, "Kinnikuman 77 no Nazo", was released and Pandaman was listed as entry number 12.

When Oda wrote One Piece he decided to include Pandaman as a hidden character along with a little more information. According to Oda, Pandaman is a man of unknown age who originated from Tibet with the mortal blow techniques: S.P.D, Bamboo Leaves Panda Drop, and Giant Panda Deathstock. He was abandoned in a bamboo thicket as an infant and was raised by Giant Pandas. Pandaman would often say that he had seen Kaguyahime. However as no one would believe him, he was often picked on. Since then, Pandaman resolved to become a strong demon superhero. Apparently at some point in time, Pandaman used to be a rich guy living on a certain island until he got into some trouble. Pandaman apparently owed a large sum of money. Since then, the debt collector, Tomato Gang, has been chasing Pandaman in order to collect his debt. Tomato Gang also hired Pandaman's rival Unforgivable Mask to catch him.

Pandaman made his first appearance in the chapter where Gin first showed up in the Baratie. He was later revealed and identified by Oda in one of the SBS questions of the next volume. In the anime, Pandaman made his first appearance in an actual episode in an earlier scene amongst the Black Cat Pirates. Since his first appearance he has been in every arc, with exception of the Amazon Lily arc, where Pandawoman replaced him due to the circumstances surrounding the arc.
Oda later confirmed in SBS form that Pandaman is in love with Pandawoman, however its currently unknown if the feelings are reciprocated.

☆ Purpose of this thread ☆

Pandaman is a joke character created by the author, Eiichiro Oda. He is, so far, the most notable of Oda's joke characters, having appeared hidden in nearly every One Piece chapter, episode, movie, and such.
It's the point of this thread to find Pandaman every week in the most recent chapter and to post it here ^x^
If you found Pandaman in a previous chapter you can also post it and I will add it to the Pandaman Archive

☆ Rules ☆

• When you find Pandaman post here the chapter, page, panel and indications of where he is in the panel + the image of the chapter page
• Always post it in a spoiler, otherwise you could spoil the fun for other people who're still searching
• You know the drill: no spamming, flaming, double posting etc

You mean the guy with the NKL on his shirt? That's not Pandaman, that's this guy on Ivankov's right side:

and here second row left panel:

He's one of Ivankov's candy boys and he also appears in the anime
Oda can be quite confusing sometimes about Pandaman. I mean there's somewhere in the WB pirates crew a guy running around with a panda-hat

Well it's mainly to find Pandaman in the manga, I know you can find him pretty much in everything related to OP though I will stick with the manga for now.

[Caliburn]

Strange, I haven't found Pandaman for two chapters in a row now =/

Though I have found a guy that wears a panda-hat and a guy who just looks like him, but I'm not sure if that counts.

[Caliburn]

I finally found the little rascal again ^x^ and it's the come-back of Pandawoman

[Caliburn]

I'm not sure, I searched on the money before but his ears aren't fully black which normally should.

That's always so annoying with Pandaman, you never know what Oda meant as being the Pandaman as he has a lot of different characters who look a lot like him (the NKL-guy, Bepo)
