Season 2 will also introduce a new face, Tony Tony Chopper, the reindeer-boy hybrid. The character is voiced by Mikaela Hoover. Hoover earlier described the character and the reason for playing it, saying, 'What excited me about playing Chopper is the tug of war between his standoffishness and his huge heart.'
