One Piece in Taiwan

One Piece is now the most popular manga and anime in Taiwan. In Taiwan, both manga and anime use the Chinese name 「航海王」 ("King of Navigation") (old name: 海賊王，"King of pirates").

Manga
One Piece was first introduced as "海賊王" in 1990s by Da Ran Culture (大然文化), serialization in weekly magazine called 熱門少年TOP. However, as bankruptcy of Da Ran Culture, manga licence switched to Tong Li Publishing (東立出版社) now, as well as name changed into "航海王". Tong Li Publishing also has weekly magazine called Taiwan Junior Magazine (寶島少年) which One Piece continue serialization in.

Anime
The Taiwanese Dub of One Piece began to air on TVB in China around 2000. The dub is uncensored with little mosaic on smoking screen and the openings/endings are left in Japanese. A new episode currently airs every week on TTV (台灣電視公司) and Star Chinese Channel(衛視中文台). Taiwanese Dub is usually very close to the Japanese version (usually 5 or so episodes away from the current Japanese episode). The special crossover episodes 492, 542 and 590 were skipped. All of the movies (except One Piece 3D: Straw Hat Chase) have been dubbed in Taiwanese as well.
