All voice actors of adult Goku and Vegeta around the world (2026 Update)

No, he used the Greek accent like the rest of the cast. He has only used the Cypriot Greek dialect in some television and theatrical radio productions in Cyprus.

An example of what the Cypriot Greek dialect sounds like:

Thank you! From what I've read in the article I mentioned above, Yiannis sounds like an amazing guy.

Not only because he fondly remembers Vegeta but also because of the wonderful (his formative years in stage) and tough moments (specially the invasion in Cyprus) he went through and his wish to return to his homeland to spend the rest of his life.

Incidentally, the dubbing directors were also from Cyprus and from what he told me, they were the ones who let him mention Sheftalia (a popular traditional Cypriot food) in episode 8 of Dragon Ball Z.

I had no idea that the Greek dub was also one of the dubs that added local references. It's good to know that.

Off-topic: I've been watching some episodes of Power Rangers in Greek on Youtube, which from what I've been listening, was dubbed by the same cast as Dragon Ball.

Watching it was a bizarre and interesting experience, mainly because of the voice switching between scenes like Eric (Quantum Ranger) going from Themis to Stelios at 0:59 and way too noticeable problems with the audio mixing like Aurico's (Alien Ranger) roll call being only heard seconds later than it should at 1:13.

Do you happen to know whether the Greek dub of Power Rangers was well received as Dragon Ball's?

I know the article you're talking about. I've known him personally for several years and I can tell you that he's a very good person. And since you mentioned Vegeta, in a 2024 interview he describes Vegeta's voice as follows:

https://youtu.be/hQP4mBAdUeE?t=663
Vegeta's voice, I think it's my voice which was my best voice. It was heroic, it was the comfortable, the beautiful, my true voice. Wherever I spoke, they would tell me "You're a tenor" and I say "I'm a tenor" it's my voice. (trying to do Vegeta's voice) Get out of there! That's my voice. I loved Vegeta so much as a face, he may have done what he did, he may have been a murderer, he may have been squashing and so on, he may have been killing...

And I would say that this statement makes more sense especially in the episodes where he didn't have the infamous filters on his voice: https://youtu.be/9WSy8kt5xlY?t=42

I don't think the Greek dubbing of Dragon Ball Z was generally well received. As for Power Rangers, I don't know but it had more or less the same problems as the Greek dubbing of Dragon Ball Z. By the way, Power Rangers was Yiannis Papaioannou's favorite series.
