5 Japanese Anime Voice Actors Who Look Nothing Like You Think
Have I already managed to destroy the image of some of your favorite anime characters? Goku, the Super Grandma Saiyan. Kenshin, the beautiful sexy samurai. Pikachu, the cutesy little lady. Thought these were just rare examples? Let’s look at some more characters who you probably didn’t imagine were women.
5. Ganta Igarashi (Dead Man Wonderland), Edward Elric (Full Metal Alchemist), Captain Hitsugaya (Bleach)
I think she could win any of these fierce battles.
4. Echizen Ryoma (Prince of Tennis)
I think the show needs to add an “ss” to its title.
3. Jing (Jing the Bandit King), Tsukasa (.hack//Sign)
Let’s add some more confusion to these series.
2. Conan (Detective Conan)
If the series had the main character transformed into a young girl instead of a boy, it would have made for a quite an interesting intro.
1. Ash/Satoshi (Pokemon)
Do you like him better now?
Different than what you expected?
Any big surprises here? Which character and voice actor has the biggest image gap between them? Want to add any others?
Founder of Jalup. iOS Software Engineer. Former attorney, translator, and interpreter. Still watching 月曜から夜ふかし weekly since 2013.
Ginko’s voice actor (From Mushishi) is a girl as well.
Thanks for the addition!
Alphonse Elric is played by Kugimiya Rie, who also voiced Shana in Shakugan no Shana, and Aisaka Taiga in Toradora.
Now that’s range! (but really, as far as staying on-topic, she only looks nothing like Alphonse. The other roles are much closer to what you’d think she looks like)

It also makes it interesting that both Elric brothers are played by women.
Ash can sing!
All that Pokemon training has paid off.
Dude in one piece, one of the openings luffy sings I never actually saw the OP I just downloaded the song. I thought it was a lady for the longest time until I watched the OP and it was luffy… Can’t unhear it now haha. Turns out a lady does luffy’s voice.
