User blog comment:Sentomaru/Pandaman in other manga???/@comment-3075024-20120809233015/@comment-3075024-20120810163636

Don't know much about copyrights but since our Pandaman has a official page and Easter-Egg character status in One Piece manga only .. its likely to assume that Oda might have taken the copyrights of that name. I must say that the character of Pandaman is quite awesome and any runner-up mangaka would love to add it in his manga to make it more awesome .. but since all we seen so far is Original pandas or a dude in Panda costume .. we can say that no one is trying to copy Oda's idea .. they may decide to call it "Panda Man" with space .. but no one will call it Pandaman without Oda owning their ass with copyrights lawsuit ^_^
