The OG voice of Goku and Megaman in the west turns 64 years old today! 🔥
If you grew up on cartoons, anime, games, or Saturday-morning television, there’s a good chance Corlett’s voice was somewhere in the background of your childhood.
He became the first English voice of adult Goku in the Ocean dub of Dragon Ball Z, then went on to voice completely different icons like Mega Man and Cheetor. Decades later, he’s still adding major characters to his résumé, including Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic in Marvel Rivals.
Some of his most popular roles include:
Goku (Dragon Ball Z)
Mega Man (Mega Man)
Cheetor (Beast Wars: Transformers)
Mister Fantastic / Reed Richards (Marvel Rivals)
Coconuts (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)
Baby Taz (Baby Looney Tunes)
Skales / Master Chen (Ninjago)
Hugh Test (Johnny Test)
Andy Larkin (What’s with Andy?)
Miroku (Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon)
Fynch (Destiny 2)
Pilar (Cyberpunk: Edgerunners)
Mr. Conductor (Dinosaur Train)
Dr. Wily (Captain N: The Game Master)
From Goku and Cheetor in the ’90s to Mister Fantastic today, Corlett has managed to stay part of pop culture for more than four decades.
Different generations may recognize completely different characters.
That’s usually the sign of one seriously long voice-acting career.
Happy birthday, Ian! 🎂
