Nami and Sanji facts
ok, back by popular demand! (ok not really) here is Nami and Sanji...

NAMI:
According to the author (in response to a fan's
question), Nami's dress size was 34-22-34.

Nami means "Wave" in Japanese.

She is 18 years old and is 5’6 1/2”.

In the pilot version of the chapter Romance Dawn there was a character named "Annie" who looked very similar to Nami.

Nami's two favorite things are money and mikan (mandarin oranges) often translated to tangerines.

Nami has a tattoo on her left shoulder which represents mikan and pinwheels (a homage to her past), where she used to have a tattoo for being the chief mapmaker for Arlong's Crew.

According to Oda, Nami resembles a cat.

The first map Nami plotted was the island Cocoyashi village is on.

Nami's birthday is July 3rd, which is a pun of her name. "Na" is short for the Japanese word "nana", meaning seven, and "mi" is one of the Japanese words meaning three. So, 7-3, or July 3rd.

She often holds Luffy's hat during a battle where it may be damaged, this trend started at the Arlong arc. She's also the one to repair Luffy's hat whenever it does get damaged in a fight, this trend started in the Buggy the Clown Arc.

The author has also replied to a fan's question to saying that right now Nami's measurements are as follows: Height 169 B 95 W 55 H 85, though her breasts seem to grow and then "reset" throughout the arcs (this is much more obvious in the manga).

Nami's dream is to draw a map of the entire world.


SANJI:
He has a tendency to rename himself when fighting, such as Mr. Prince or Hunter.

Sanji often fights with Zoro, and the two have developed quite a rivalry. They often compete when fighting enemies.

Sanji originally wanted to cook Chopper, and continues to refer to him as their "emergency food supply" to tease him.

Because of his ordeal at sea, Sanji will never ever refuse giving food to anyone that is hungry, regardless of their reputation, lack of funds or social standing. From that same incident, he also becomes enraged when someone throws away or wastes food.

Sanji's left eye is rarely seen, always covered by his hair. This is speculated because Oda didn't want to have to mirror Sanji's trademark curly eyebrow on the other side, but fans have suggested that his eye is sewn shut, there is no eye, and that it is permanently heart-shaped just in case. On one occasion in the manga, when Sanji was turned upside down, his eye was covered by a speech balloon. Although they are all just speculations, it's not known what or why his left eye is covered. There are rare times when Sanji's left eye was shown: see anime episodes 21, 27, 82, and 128 (although extremely briefly in 128, only 1 frame, 09:18).

According to Oda, Sanji most resembles a duck.

Sanji is 19 years old and 5'9 1/2" tall. Even though he is officially the third tallest member of the crew, he's consistently drawn taller than Zoro in the anime.

He is born March 2nd, a Pisces. His birthday comes from "San", which can mean the third or three, and "Ji" which means the second. The second day of the third month.

Unlike the other four Straw Hats that are from East Blue, Sanji was actually born in North Blue and moved to East Blue later.

Sanji's 'all kicks' fighting style is a fictional alteration of the Brazillian martial art Capoeira.

Sanji is referred to as an "ero-cook" in the anime, which means "perverted cook" because of his constant flirting

Sanji uses the word Mellorine to express his happiness over Nami, Vivi, and Nico Robin.

He will not allow insult or injury to any woman in his presence while he can still stand. One exeption happened during the Alabasta Arc when Luffy hit Vivi in front of Sanji and the others, although Sanji complained, he allowed it because he understood Luffy's purpose.

A running gag with Sanji would be about how he wants a bounty, but never got one. Some fans speculate that after their raid on Enies Lobby, he might either get a small bounty or no bounty at all.

"Sanji" is a way of saying "three'o'clock" in Japanese.

Sanji's dream is to find All Blue, a legendary ocean which contains all the fish in the world.
Sanji is a playable character in Jump Superstars.

Sanji also seem to run into a lot of opponents who think him too weak to protect anybody. However no sooner then they state this, he proceeds to beat the living daylight out of them.

In the anime series, in addition to women, Sanji also gets along quite well with children.
Both Sanji and Mugen from Samurai Champloo have the same personality. Both have the fighting style of Capoeira, both Trash-talk a lot, and both are womanizers.

Sanji's left eye is seen in the Doctor Stop card in the One Piece CCG Set 2, Passage to the Grand Line.

Sanji's relation's with Nami seem to have become a more mature one, as he doesn't appear to attempt a "direct approach" anymore, much in the Naruto series how Naruto's relationship with Sakura becomes more mature.

mmk...enjoy peoples! next is Chopper and Usopp! (tomarow, i'll do a regular post!^^
