- Norio Wakamoto (Cell) in anything
- Ryūsei Nakao (Freeza) as Mayuri Kurotsuchi
- Takeshi Kusao (Trunks) as Hanamichi Sakuragi
- Toshio Furukawa (Piccolo) as Portgas D. Ace
- Kōichi Yamadera (Beerus) as Spike Spiegel, Ryoji Kaji and Togusa
- Hikaru Midorikawa (Tien) as Heero Yuy, Lancer and Sakamoto

Just realized that if they ever brought Cell back, there would be a chance for "Spike" and "Vicious" to interact again. If Beerus talks to Cell at least.

[DB_Fan1991]

Tessho Genda played not only Shuu in Dragon Ball, but Toguro the Younger in Yu Yu Hakusho. Talk about range.

Who looks a lot like The Terminator who was voiced in Japanese by you guessed it, Genda.

[Elton Stryker]

Ryo Horikawa(Vegeta) - Reinhardt Von Lohengram - Legend of Galatic Heroes
Norio Wakamoto(Cell) - Oskar von Reuenthal - Legend of Galatic Heroes
Ryusei Nakao(Freezer) - Louis Mashengo - Legend of Galatic Heroes

Basicly. DB has the best Japanese VAs around. Silly this is the one anime that people be like "ew, terrible JP VAs!" Baka lol.

(Anyway, since I spoke on all - or most of - the English VAs in the previous one..I'll do as you did here, adding more games & other VAs too) Aside from what Beerus mentioned:

Norio Wakamoto - Mr. Sinister, Akuma/M. Bison, Dio Brando, & his Dissidia character. He's like the Japanese Christopher Walken, or Ron Perlman, or Keith David, etc...

Ryūsei Nakao as Starscream (or was it Cobra Commander?), Yakko, & Vaccine Man.

Takeshi Kusao as Ky Kiske, Sonic the Hedgehog, Toonami TOM, Sly Cooper, Patrick Bateman.

Toshio Furukawa as Jann Lee of Dead or Alive, Sonic the Hedgehog (yup), Satotz i HxH, young Roy Campbell in MGS, Ace in OP, & Kai in Gundam. Also I find him incredibly attractive.

Koichi Yamadera is the holy grail of Japanese VAs. All his stuff is good. Standouts might be Sebastian (Little Mermaid/Kingdom Hearts), LEGO Batman, Joel of Last of Us, Vincent in Catherine, Lugia, & Silva for me. Phenomenal impressionist. Best dubber ever.

Hikaru Midorikawa - Marth, Link, Zelgadis, bunch of others. Dude is like...the Michael Bell of Japan or something. Really great pretty-boy voice. (Actually, Crispin Freeman'd make a better comparison there.) One of the greatest & most prominent JP VAs ever.

Mayumi Tanaka - Megaman Volnutt, & Luffy of course. Another great, & much like a Nancy Cartwright of sorts.

Daisuke Gori - Hulk, General Praxis (Ratchet & Clank), Heihachi, Bask Om, Dozle Zabi, Jinbei, General Andross & Pig (Star Fox), Scott Dolph (MGS2), the Iron Giant. The Japanese Kevin Michael Richardson, RIP.

Takeshi Aono - Roy Campbell, Joker. I feel like I should know this guy's roles much better. RIP.

Masako Nozawa - Guilmon, Elekid (even in the dub), Kureha, Merryweather, Doug (yes, the Disney one), "Pidge" from "Voltron", Tetsuro Hoshino of 999.

Banjo Ginga - Liquid Snake. "Riikiddo Suneku?!" Gihren Zabi, The piranha in Little Mermaid, Souther, Final Netero in HxH, Bayman from Dead or Alive, Jack D'Arby Jack & first Heihachi. Another epic KMR/MCDuncan-esque bass voice.

Hirotaka Suzuoki - Sakaki/"Giovanni" in Pokémon, Bright Noa in Gundam, come to mind. I really like this guy's voice. Really warm & leader-like. Reminds me of Nolan North or Michael Gough (or, y'know...Cam Clarke or Troy Baker)

Saw Gundam recently (OVAs, subtitled, currently on Zeta) & I dig Toru Furuya's Amuro of course. Also if I didnt mention him elsewhere, Brad Swaile is great there too.

Hiromi Tsuru - Naomi Hunter & PS1 Motoko.

Ryūzaburo Ōtomo - oh God, this guy's voice - Sir Crocodile, Black Doom, Tetsuo (the early bully in YGO), the Soulcalibur boss, a metric ton of basses.

Tessho Genda - Batman, Mr. Freeze, Optimus Prime, Naruto's Kurama, Guile in SF, Mace Windu, Kratos, Kamex/Blastoise, the Punisher, Akira police officer, Tigger, Toguro, Dozle Zabi. Sam Jackson. Shaq. nuff said. Both big & small characters. Like Cummings tbh.

Kenji Utsumi - the last really deep bass voice on this list. Alex Armstrong, Garland, his FnS roles, Parallax, pretty great legacy.

Koji Ishii - Garterbelt & Garland - both Sabat dubs, come to think of it.

Shigeru Chiba - Megatron & Kazuma Kuwabara. He's in FF Type-0 too, but tbh I dont know him much. Like Aono earlier.

Shozo Iizuka - UKA UKA!, , Neo Cortex, Tetsujin in Giant Robo, Iedolas in FFXV.

Ryō Horikawa - Robin/Tim Drake, Jin Long, Edward Fokker, Gilbart (FF4), Reinhard (LoGH), Makuramon, Karasu, Captain Falcon of course!

Joji Yanami - Harlock characters

Hidekatsu Shibata - Fuhrer Bradley, Harlock narrator, Monkey Dragon, Sarutobi/3rd Hokage. Dunno who to compare him to.

Hideyuki Hori - one consistent Ryu Hayabusa

Tetsu Inada - Lu Bu!, Gamagori, Love Aikawa. Anther good brute VA.

Katsuyuki Konishi - Lloyd in Tales, Marx in Fire Emblem Fates, Kamina. Mainly brutal/rambunctious heroes. Kinda like Brian Bloom?

Daisuke Kishio - Noel in FF13, thats about it unfortunately. Kinda reminds me of Greg Cipes or something.

Masakazu Morita - Tidus, Dynasty Warriors, & Ichigo Kurosaki.

Mitsuo Iwata - He was Kaneda in Akira. Enough said.

Kazuya Nakai - Zolo (dont kill me lol), Mugen, Wakka, Gilgamesh, Aragaki in Persona, very cool gruff voice ala Blum or DiMaggio.

Kappei Yamaguchi - all that 8000 Saiayan said, plus Teddie from Perspna 4.

Chikao Ōtsuka - RIP, another legend JP VA. His Big Boss is the stuff of legend, as are Master Xehanort, Eggman, his Asura's Wrath work, & Zenigata from Lupin.

Yuriko Yamaguchi - Nico Robin.

Kazuhiro Yamaji - never played RE7 but his dub sounds good based on clips.

Shinichiro Miki - Kojiro/"James", Bruce Wayne, Prince of Persia, Roy Mustang, Urahara, Lizardon/"Charizard", Ishitsubute/"Geodude", Pokedex, loads. Another legend veteran.

Nobuyuki Hiyama - Link, Viral, Nightmare/Siegfried (tend to prefer Crispin Freeman but still), Ikkaku Madarame.

Phil LaMarr - various FF12 roles, Gren Lantern, Samurai Jack, Afro Samurai & brothers, Static Shock!

Keith Ferguson - Bloo in Foster's, Marluxia in KH dubs, Reaper in Overwatch

Fred Tatasciore - Kakuzu, Hulk, Soldier 76, Magnus, Daimon Baird, Megatron. One of my personal favorite VAs ever, like an English Kenta Miyake.

Troy Baker - I can't even choose, but I love Snow, Sigma, & Pain FWIH. I'll get to BI & tLou soon enough.

I think that's everybody in Japanese, & all the non-dub English ones. I wish I saw more European stuff, I love Mexican-Spanish Cell & Vegeta, & Castañeda is a really good Gokū.

I think you're making too many assumptions when you're comparing Japanese voice actors to English ones.

Reading my post it does come off as cringey, sure. Not sure what you mean by assumptions tho.. ?

I think what I should have said that what you've said about who is the Japanese counterpart doesn't really mean much.

Ah I guess. I feel like it helps me understand foreign VAs better by giving them an analogy of sorts to actors I recognize for certain archetypes.

[Tian]

Tommy Morgenstern (Goku's German VA) as Butthead (1:20)

[8000 Saiyan]

Mami Koyama played Balalaika in Black Lagoon and Scarlett in the Japanese dub of G.I. Joe. She's got range.

[ABED]

Jason Grey Stanford was great as Randy Disher on Monk.

[Cure Dragon 255]

HOLY FUCK! I googled him and he was Raditz! People werent kidding when they said Ocean had awesome actors. I'm not saying the dub is but the actors are.

The Saban and Westwood Ocean dubs aren't awesome, but the dubs of the first 3 movies are.

[ABED]

The scripts were pretty bad, but the actors made chicken salad out of chicken scratch. I honestly think the Ocean dub is better than people remember it being.

[DragonBallKing]

The scripts weren't horrible, but the actors made chicken salad out of chicken scratch. I honestly think the Ocean dub is better than people remember it being.

Well the "next dimension"/"brilliant scientist" censorship stuff really held back the potential, and that censorship is the main reason Funi dub fans think that their dub is the good one and the Ocean one is crappy because they associate it with censorship kinda like 4Kids.

Because that dub didn't have any silly dialog?

I just realized that for some reason, my original post said "the scripts WEREN'T horrible, but...". I don't know why when it obviously should've said "the scripts WERE horrible".

It defiantly did, but they like the corny cheesy dialogue but because the 99 funi dub is still uncensored and keeps all the blood and death in tact they think of It as the Hardcore Edgy DeeBeeZee while they see Ocean as the kiddie version.

Matt Smith wasn't one of those actors.

Agreed. I don't have anything else to add to your statement. He was truly awful.

The 1999 Funi dub may have been uncut, but I'd take the edited Saban-Ocean dub over it. At least the actors had experience in doing voices for cartoons and anime. The performances of the Saban-Ocean dub have a charm to it that makes me love watching it. The performances of the 1999 Funimation dub on the other hand make me cringe and make me glad that the actors of that dub have improved with Kai.

If the Ocean dub had been uncut, then people would have more fond memories of it.
