Fanon[]
SaNami is one of the most popular ships in One Piece with it being the third most written ship for both characters on Archive of Our Own as of 2025.
The ship got particular popularity in the Zou and Whole Cake Island arcs. The popularity of the pair stem from Sanji's crush on Nami and that they share a good friendship among the crew, with many fans finding Sanji's excessive catering to Nami both amusing and endearing. Many fans also point out and appreciate how the anime company, Toei Animation, and the author, Eiichiro Oda, both create extra content for them.
SaNami most commonly rivals LuNami, ZoNami, and SanPu. It is often shipped alongside LuHan, Frobin, ZoRobin, ZoLu, and Zoyori.

Trivia[]
- On social media platforms, SaNami is often represented with the emojis: 🚬🍊, 🍷🍊, 💙🧡, and 💛🧡.
- Sanji and Nami's specific colors are blue and orange, respectively.[1] Those are also known as complementary colors.
- Nami is often drawn wearing shirts with a 3 on them. Oda explained in an SBS for Volume 40 that Nami's numbers are 03 (3rd member to join the crew), and 73 (In Japanese, 7-Na and 3-mi). Sanji's numbers are 05 (5th member to join the crew), 32 (3-San and 2-ji), and 59 (5-Ko, and 9-kku, as in "Cook"). [1] Interestingly, Sanji's name means 3 o clock.
- Out of all the Straw Hat Pirates, only Robin, Sanji, and Nami bathe every day.[2]
- Like Zoro and Franky, both Nami and Sanji do not like to chew ice.[3]
- Sanji refers to other women with the honorific -chan, with the exception of Nami for whom he uses -san or -swan and her elder sister for whom he used -sama. In the SBS for Volume 27, Oda explained that Sanji uses -san for Nami because of her "queenly-ness."[4]
- Sanji referred to Nami's older sister as "Onee-sama," as in he called her "older sister" in a regal and highly respectful tone. In contrast, Sanji did not use as respectful language for the older sister of his arranged fiancée Pudding.
- In both the Long Ring Long Island Arc and Egghead Arc, Sanji referred to Nami as "My Nami-san."
- On Nami's side, she refers to everyone in the crew by their names, with the exception of Sanji for whom she reserves the honorific -kun. This honorific is commonly used to address males that the speaker is emotionally attached to or has known for a long time, and can be used to indicate closeness.
- After their falling out and Sanji's exit of the crew in Whole Cake Island, Nami stopped using the -kun honorific for Sanji. However, after they made up, Nami returned to calling Sanji "Sanji-kun".
- In the manga, Nami is the only person Sanji has ever carried in bridal style.
- Sanji was responsible for stopping Nami's forced wedding to Absalom in Thriller Bark. At one point Nami was falling, and Sanji caught and carried her in bridal style. Similarly, Nami was instrumental in stopping Sanji's forced wedding to Pudding in Whole Cake Island. During the ordeal Nami was falling but Sanji caught and carried her in bridal style once more. In both the manga and the anime Nami was elated to be saved by Sanji and they shared a smile. In the anime, the animators added a Shoujo-style sparkly background when Nami and Sanji shared their smile in this bridal pose. Furthermore, in both the manga and the anime, Pudding is shown agape witnessing Sanji and Nami's moment.
- Muramaki Kento and Hiura Yuika, the actors for Sanji and Nami in the first and second One Piece Live Attraction at Tokyo Tower[5][6], started dating some time after meeting on stage. On April 2021, Muramaki and Hiura announced their marriage on their respective Instagram accounts.[7][8] On December of the same year, the actors celebrated their wedding.[9][10] The couple welcomed a baby boy on December 2022.[11][12]
- On Valentine's Day (2024), Toei Animation posted on their Instagram account a picture of Sanji and Nami meeting for the first time at Baratie to celebrate Valentine's Day. The animation company captioned the post: "Never give up on love. Happy Valentine's day!"[13] In the scene pictured, Sanji kneels before Nami and offers her a rose.
- During a promotional panel for the One Piece live action show in WeebCon Texas 2024, Taz Skylar, the actor for Sanji, jokingly proposed to Emily Rudd, the actress for Nami. [14] Furthermore, the panelist asked Taz who he thinks Sanji ‘simps’ for the most, and he answered to Emily “of course it’s you my love” making reference to Emily’s character, Nami. The actors then shared a friendly hug. [15]
