One Piece (English, 4Kids Entertainment)

Broadcast
On June 4, 2004, 4Kids announced they had acquired the television distribution and merchandising license for One Piece  in the Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, United Kingdom and the United States.

The One Piece anime debuted in America on the FoxBox TV block (later known as 4Kids TV) on September 18, 2004. Cartoon Network announced their aqusation of the series on February 16, 2005. In the UK, Toonami announced that they had acquired the series on November 18, 2004 and began their broadcast on April 23, 2005.

In an interview on April 24, 2005 4Kids CEO Al Kahn suggested that One Piece, along with every other 4Kids property, would receive an uncut DVD release, and added that anime fans would "have to accept the fact that it's going to be available in two styles". The American home video rights to the series were sub-licensed to VIZ Media, who began releasing the edited version of the series on DVD in February 2006 with "English TV Version" specified on the DVD covers. Despite Kahn's earlier statements, Viz were unable to release an uncut version as they were not involved with the dub's production.

On November 11, 2005 One Piece (along with Mew Mew Power, another series licensed by 4Kids) was reported missing from the 4Kids line-up. However, on January 2, 2006, the series was announced to be continuing on February 11.

On March 16, 2006, 4Kids announced plans to concentrate only on their fully-owned properties. A fall of profit was blamed on the shortfall of several of their dubbed licenses such as Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh, although One Piece and several other licenses they held were said to offset the results. The company as a result later dropped a few shows including one of their biggest earners, Pokémon. The dubbing of new anime lessened, and 4Kids announced on December 6, 2006 that they had canceled production of their One Piece dub and dropped the license. Ultimately, 4kids produced 104 English-dubbed episodes from the first 143 Japanese episodes.
