[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1423838/ On IMDb], the voice actor for Barabas is presented as the same person who voiced [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz655-AWX_U Cap'n Crunch] in the '90s and '00s. Interestingly, he was featured in [https://archive.is/bPfWq this Chicago Tribune article] (Bungie was based in Chicago). If this is indeed the same person, George J. Adams, he was the voice of a well-known cereal mascot for the duration of many people's childhood, but surprisingly no known pictures of him exist on the Web. George Adams was also credited for a few voices in Wideload's (i.e. Alex Seropian's) [[wp:Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse|Stubbs the Zombie]]. | [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1423838/ On IMDb], the voice actor for Barabas is presented as the same person who voiced [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz655-AWX_U Cap'n Crunch] in the '90s and '00s.

==Japanese voices== | |||
===Kotono Mitsuishi=== | |||
Konoko's voice actor, Mrs. Mitsuishi, has had a distinguished career. Among many other roles, she is known for Sailor Moon, Misato Katsuragi in Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Excel in Excel Saga. | |||
===Ayako Kawasumi=== | |||
In addition to playing Shinatama, Kawasumi also played the androids Melfina in Outlaw Star and Mahoro in Mahoromatic. She was also Fuu in Samurai Champloo. | |||
===Takeshi Kusao=== | |||
Muro's voice actor also played the intense Trunks on Dragon Ball Z/Super. | |||
===Tessho Genda=== | |||
Mr. Genda is one of the most prolific and recognizable voices in Japan. A short list of his roles: Optimus Prime (Transformers), Batman (Batman: The Animated Series), Kurama the Nine-Tailed Fox (Naruto), Kaido (One Piece), and Kratos (God of War). In the 1995 "Ghost in the Shell" movie which inspired Oni, he played Chief Nakamura (of Section 6, not to be confused with Chief Aramaki of Section 9). He also dubs live-action roles played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you look over his [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0312656/ massive filmography] you're sure to recognize plenty more roles. | |||
===Mitsuo Senda=== | |||
Mr. Senda played Dr. Kerr, but was apparently more active in live-action dubbing than anime and video games. He died in 2023 at the age of 82. | |||
===Ken Narita=== | |||
The voice actor for Prof. Hasegawa also played Sesshomaru in Inuyasha and took on the roles of Saito Hajime in Rurouni Kenshin and Bright Noa in Mobile Suit Gundam after the original actors passed away. | |||
===Hiroshi Tsuchida=== | |||
Tsuchida, who played Barabas, is mostly known for his live-action dubbing of American actors who don't have any of the physicality of the Syndicate enforcer, such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tobey Maguire, Ryan Reynolds and Jon Cryer. | |||
===Taiten Kusunoki=== | |||
Muro's voice actor is best known in Japan for dubbing live-action roles played by The Rock and Vin Diesel. | |||
===Shigenori Soya=== | |||
Soya is not a super-notable voice actor, but it's worth remarking on the fact that he was apparently brought in to voice the Deadly Brain, a character who merely grunts three times. We don't even know who did the grunting in English. | |||
