Line 49:
** In Brazil, all male characters voiced by women in the original version listed above are voiced by adult men as well, though Ed and Envy's V As (Marcelo Campos and Sílvio Giraldi, respectively) were in their mid-to-late thirties by the time of the dub, while Al and Wrath's (Rodrigo Andreatto and Fábio Lucindo) were in their mid-to-late '''twenties'''. Marcelo and Rodrigo also played their respective characters in all their appearances as children during the series. It's also worth to note that all voice actors mentioned in this trope example not rarely play characters much younger than themselves.
** Don't forget Selim Bradley ({{spoiler|Pride}}).
* In almost every version of ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'', Chopper was voiced by a female. This includes both the original Japanese voice (Ikue Otani) and her brief substitute (Kazue Ikura). 4Kids had [[Lisa Ortiz]]... using the exact same voice she used for Musa on ''[[Winx Club]]'', to boot. The [[
** Not as weird as when 4Kids gave his giant forms a masculine but cartoonish voice.
** Such is the case for Luffy as well. He is voiced by [[Mayumi Tanaka]], who also voices Krillin, in ''[[Dragonball]]''. She also voices Daiya from [[Gaiking]], which is rather amusing since he falls into the line of [[Hot Blooded]], "[[Badass|Gar]]" mecha pilots.
Line 86:
** Averted in the dubbing in... well... probably every single language the series has been dubbed to.
** His real-life counterpart, Gensai Kawakami, was indeed said to be rather effeminate (as in pretty and small).
** The actress is also a former otokoyaku (or player of male roles) for the [[Takarazuka]], so she had some experience playing adult men. She does a very convincing tenor as his serious [[Super
** Also 18-year-old [[Bishonen]] Soujirou Seta, voiced by Noriko Hidaka.
** Averted in Spain in Yahiko's case. A 10-year-old boy was voiced by a male actor, David García Llop.
Line 106:
** And in the Latin American dub. By ''two'' women, actually!
** Subverted by Kohaku in the LA dub, who's voiced by a male (Eduardo "Lalo" Garza, who'd then play Gaara in [[Naruto]] and Ichigo in [[Bleach]])
* ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'' has a few. Lady Bat makes the most sense, being a [[Villainous Crossdresser]] to begin with, and the voice actress, who had previously played [[The Vamp|Maria]] on the show (and came back to reprise her first role twice), managed to sound like an effeminate man. Not to mention she was shown [[Talking to Himself|talking to herself]], since she also played [[Small Annoying Creature|Fuku]]. The others were a [[Weasel Mascot]], a [[White
* Near is voiced by a woman in both the Japanese and English versions of ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]''. Unusually for this trope, the character is supposed to be an adult, albeit a young one; [[Word of God]] gives his age as 21 at the end of the series.
** This trope was probably used to emphasise how childlike Near is, both in terms of [[Older Than They Look|looking like he's very young]] and of his behaviour.
Line 227:
* The Czech dub of ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]'' has Marge voiced by a man.
* The Japanese dub of ''[[Recess]]'' has T.J. voiced by a woman (Wasabi Mizuta, the current voice of [[Doraemon]]), as oppossed to him being voiced by a young boy like in the U.S.
* In the Japanese dub of ''[[
* All dubs of [[Kaeloo]], like the original French version, had the title character voiced by a man.
* The original Japanese dub of ''[[Peter Pan (Disney)|Peter Pan]]'' had the title character voiced by a woman (Masumi Goto), but is now voiced by a male (Mitsuo Iwata).
Line 285:
** [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0152839/ Lots of others.]
** After the [[Time Skip]] of ''[[Ben 10 (Animation)|Ben 10]]'', it's averted with an adult ''male'' actor providing 15-year-old [[Ben 10 Alien Force (Animation)|Ben's]] voice ([[Yuri Lowenthal]], b. 1971, who seems to voice a lot af adolescent boys).
* Except for Chuckie, all the ''[[Rugrats]]'' retained their same voice actress from their first episode all the way to the [[Spin
** In the Latin American dub, the aforementioned Laura Torres was the voice of Tommy.
* Bart Simpson of ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]'' is voiced by adult female Nancy Cartwright. Cartwright in fact does the voices for most of the boys at Springfield Elementary.
Line 331:
* In ''[[The Critic]]'', Christine Cavanaugh is the voice of Marty Sherman.
* In the Italian dub of ''[[Transformers Animated]]'', all the Starscream clones are voiced by the same man. [[Opposite Sex Clone|Even the one that's a girl]].
* In ''[[Batman Mask of the Phantasm]]'', the latter [[Foil]] to Bats is voiced by Dana Delaney (who would later [[Hey
** In an unusual male example, Granny Goodness on [[Superman the Animated Series]] was voice by [[Ed Asner]].
* In ''[[Biker Mice From Mars]]'', [[Mad Scientist]] Dr. Karbuncle, despite being a grown man, was voiced by a woman (Susan Silo), but she did give him a rather weird ambiguous gender voice.
* In a few shorts, [[Popeye]] was voiced by Mae Questel, who also voiced Olive Oyl and [[Betty Boop]].
* In the [[Rankin
** The studio's iconic [[Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer]] special had the titular character being voiced by Billie Mae Richards, who was ironically credited as Billy Richards from 1965 onward, as mentioned in obituaries mourning her death in September 2010. She also voiced Tenderheart Bear in the first two [[Care Bears]] movies and first cartoon series, while she was Brightheart Racoon in the second one.
* In ''[[The Venture Brothers (Animation)|The Venture Brothers]]'' Doctor Girlfriend is voiced by co-creator [[Doc Hammer]], ''to sound like a deep-voiced man from Brooklyn''.
Line 349:
* In the direct-to-VHS ''[[Alvin and The Chipmunks]]'' movies, Theodore is voiced by the same woman that voices the [[Distaff Counterpart|Chipettes]].
** This also occurred in the 80s series as well.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has Spike, a baby male dragon apprentice, voiced by Cathy Weseluck.
** This is not the [[Death Note (Manga)|first time]] she has voiced a male character, extraordinarily well at that, given her uncanny ability to mimic the voice of a boy.
* ''[[Birdz]]'' has two examples: the lead character Eddie (Susan Roman) and Sleepy Bat (Julie Lemieux).
Line 486:
* All the child characters on ''[[Tale Spin (Animation)|Tale Spin]]'' were played by actual children.
* In an episode of Futurama where the cast begins to regress in age, they just kept their same voice actors.
* Oh boy, this is a complicated one...[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Derpy Hooves]] has caused a bit of a stir with her halting [[Simpleton Voice]] portrayal because some people find it offensive. But no one actually set out to give Derpy a [[Simpleton Voice]]; they just asked [[Tabitha St Germain]] to do the voice, and Tabitha thought Derpy was supposed to be a boy. So she ''thought'' she was doing this trope, but she really wasn't.
* The preteen-aged Gumball and Darwin from ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball (Animation)|The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' are voiced by (at the time of production) 13-year-old Logan Grove and 12-year-old Kwesi Boakye, respectively.
