Jinbe, also known as The Knight of the Sea, is one of the main characters in the anime and manga series One Piece. He was once a member of the Sun Pirates led by Fisher Tiger, but after his death, Jinbe became a Warlord of the Sea to strengthen the relationship between Fishmen and humans. He would later meet Luffy and befriend him, eventually joining his crew and becoming a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.
He was voiced by the late Daisuke Gori and Katsuhisa Hoki in Japanese and by Daniel Baugh in the dubbed version.
