Cat Burglar Nami
Namibounty.jpgFor her involvement with her fellow crew members in Enies Lobby, Nami was recognized as a threat by the World Government and was given a bounty of 16,000,000. While most of the other Straw Hats are impressed at having bounties, Nami doesn't particularly like being a wanted person. Her picture was taken under the false pretense of a reporter wanting to do an article on her, hence the sexy pose.
Nami is a young, somewhat tall girl with short orange hair and a slim build. She was the first main character to appear in Episode 1 before Luffy. Many people consider her to be very good looking or even beautiful.[7] She has a blue tattoo (black in the manga)[8] on her left shoulder which represents mikan and pinwheels (a homage to Bellemere and Genzo, respectively), where she used to have a tattoo for being a member of Arlong's Crew. Near the beginning of the series, Nami wears a variety of clothing in the series but her longest lasting is her white and blue striped shirt, an orange mini-skirt and orange high-heeled sandals. She retains this look until the Arlong Park arc, afterward she is seen wearing a different outfit for each arc. Nami wore thick, low cut leather boots and a simple blouse. However, during the Arlong Park arc and thereafter, Nami wore strappy, heeled sandals and more revealing outfits (With the tattoo no longer being a secret). Nami wore a blue bikini and high heel sandals for the skypiea arc and then she changed to black high heel gladiator sandals during the Enies Lobby arc. During Thriller Bark, She wore a wedding dress and white high heel pumps with her dress. She seemed to have abandoned the sandals for high-heeled boots as of Chapter 435 but she started using sandals again in the end of Thriller Bark arc. She usually pairs her tops with skirts with rings on them. Her overall physique matured suddenly (though this is, most likely, a simple change in style of artwork). Her fashion frequently changes as well as her hair style. Many of her shirts feature four-letter words, such as "MODE", "GOLD", or "EVIL", similar to a shirt that Bellemere once wore that had "MACE" on it. On her left arm, there's the Log Pose, for being the navigator of the ship, and a yellow round bracelet, given by her sister Nojiko.[9]
In SBS Volume 6, Oda said, according to Sanji, her measurements were 86-57-86cm = 34-22-34". The author has also replied to a fan's question saying that right now Nami's measurements are as follows:
  • Height: 169 cm = 5'6½"
  • Measurements (B-W-H): 95-55-85 cm = 37-21-33"
  • Chest: To be continued
He later also specified in an SBS that Nami's under bust size is 65 cm, making her an I-cup in Japan, or an F-cup in the US. However, her breasts seem to grow into and then "reset" throughout the arcs (this is much more obvious in the manga and in one of the movies).[10] Oda has also said that Nami resembles a cat, that the color orange represents her, and she smells of mikan and money.[11][12]
After the 2 year time-skip, Nami's hair has grown rather long, reaching down to her lower back. Her breasts have also grown larger, but apart from this her appearance has not changed much, save the fact that both her curves and hour-glass figure became more pronounced. She also appears to have gotten slightly taller. Her outfit after the timeskip consists of a revealing green bikini halter top, low-rider jeans (that exposes much of her hips), and high heel sandals.
