Camie (????, Keim?) is a supporting character in the One Piece series that was created by Eiichiro Oda. The series first began serialization in Shuesiha’s Weekly Sh?nen Jump on August 4, 1997. She would later appear in the Impel Down Arc that began in Volume 54.

Her first appearance was in splash page on One Piece Volume 21 CH. 195 “Mr. Bushido”, and

Camie first appeared in the One Piece series in the splash page mini story of Hatchan (Ch. 195). It was Hatchan that rescues her and Pappagu from being swallowed by a sea monster. She would not appear in the manga series regular story until One Piece Volume 50 Ch. 490.

In the Japanese version, Camie often adds the honorific of “chin” to everyone’s name. Eiichiro Oda was asked by a fan if Camie knew someone with the name Chin, would she still use the “chin” honorific. He confirmed that she would call someone Chin-chin. (chinchin “????” is a Japanese word that means penis.)
