   Who’s Voice?
Ok, so while doing research, I found an interesting bit of information…the voices for the YYH cast PLUS who else the actors provided voices for…um yeah, I think I might be traumatized x-x

So lets start with the most obscure…on second thought, we’ll save that for the end heehee

Well, I already noticed before hand that Yuki from Fruits Basket and Trunks from DBGT had the same voice, and I could hear it in the last FB episode(26, captured in my fanart) (I won’t give anything away for those who haven’t seen it yet) and thought about what it would be like if characters with the same voices were to meet (potential for another Cartoon Cops moment) but this could not have prepared me for what I found… (Top 10 mode!)

10. Yuske and Haru on FB…this is probably the most normal one…esp. for Black Haru…


9. Keiko and Tohru from FB, yes I can definitely see that. They kind of act alike and when Keiko is telling the police about Yuske’s apt. blowing up (Sensui did it) saying it, “exploded, or maybe it imploded…” just the same as when Tohru gets overly excited.


8. Kurama, Tien (DB/Z), not much to say, I never paid too close attention to mister 3-eyes. Just wondered why his little pal looked like a china doll. Oh! he has 3 eyes like Hiei! But nope, Kurama’s voice.

7. Botan and ChiChi…I suppose they get angry the same way, but Botan still sounds more bubbley!


6. Keiko-little Chichi from DB AND Chibi Trunks on DBZ!!! um…I didn’t think little Trunks sounded like a girl, much less than young scantily-dressed Chichi (yay for young Goku’s comment to her!) *ahem* anyway…


5. Gohan (Z>) and Karasu. Good and Evil…a bit of a difference! Can you imagine Gohon playing with Kurama’s hair talking about the mystery of what his touch could to him? CREEPY!!! (Just please don’t Kamehameha my darling Kurama!) But I guess Karasu did turn Super Sayin! *Leilani points to Bob, “See I told you it was DBZ!!!”*

4. Genkai & Frieza! Yep, I knew Frieza sounded like a girl! Imagine Genkai spontaneously blowing up the earth saying, “Wow, what a show! Just like fireworks!” etc. (and a side note to when Frieza blasted Vegeta to shut him up saying, “On and on like a broken record…” and I thought sarcastically, “I wonder where he gets it from” *eyeing Frieza* k, end tangent ^_^)


3. Hiei and Emperor Pilaf from Dragon Ball not to mention Garlic Jr. from DBZ. Ha! He’s still short!!! I knew Pilaf and Garlic had to be related some way…but the quiet little punk too? Hiei goes after the Dragonballs!!! Garlic Jr. calls forth Hiei’s black dragon to deal with Goku! Emperor Pilaf wishes for a Jagan eye so he can keep watch over his long lost sister!


2. Kuwabara and Vegeta plus many more. Yes both Vegeta and Kuwabara have distinguishable voices, but from the same source? Kuwabara thinking he’s the only one in the group with a brain and Him calling Hiei a “Moron!” Oh, wait! How about Vegeta going all mushy over a kitten!!! Now that would be priceless!!! Well the whole DragonBall industry has been keeping this guy busy! He has also done the voice for Yamcha (Kuwabara screaming, “Wolf Fang Fist”?) and Piccilo/Kami! As well as a few more minor characters like Nappa, Radizt, Mr. Popo; the list goes on. Remember Frieza’s elite henchmen, yeah he did a few of those too, including the one thinking he was a rock star (Jeice). Kuwabara’s battle stance of head banging! Believe it or not, the same guy did all those voices…and the obnoxious narrator at the end of the GT episodes! Who said Kuwabara was 100% human? He has a stong ancestry of Sayins, Nameks, and other unearthly beings!


1. And the most obscure voice sharing is *Drum-roll* Kurama and…*opens envelope*…SHIGURE from Fruits Basket?!?!?!?! O.o Can you imagine Kurama prancing around singing, “High school girls! High school girls! All for me! High school girls!” ???

Um…no! *shudders* Although it might be more appropriate considering Kurama is still in high school, even though that is clearly out of his character! And I suppose if I found Shigure to have Kurama’s voice I wouldn’t have been as shocked since occasionally he reveals some sense and wisdom behind his cracked up character. But Kurama acting like Shigure!?!?!


Anyway, All in all, I suppose my conclusion would be that these voice actors must be really talented! I admire how they can have such distinguishable for each character they play. They really do a great job! Go them!!!
