Brook debuted in Eiichiro Oda's One Piece as a former Rumbar Pirates musician who was revived as a living skeleton and later joined Monkey D. Luffy's Straw Hat crew. His game voice clips spread through One Piece Bounty Rush, the team battle mobile game released in 2018, where players use characters in fast arena matches. Clips of Brook are shared by fans alongside other anime sounds because his polite manners, skull jokes and dramatic delivery make even a few seconds instantly recognizable to One Piece viewers.
