These voice actors and actresses made their names in the anime scene. Due to its nature, there is sometimes some overlap with video games (or Western Animation, in the case of a few English-language voice actors).

A No Recent Examples rule applies to this trope. To avoid any knee-jerk reactions, examples shouldn't be added until six months after the work's released or the character first appears (whichever is later).

  • Virtually all of the talent working on the dubs for Venus Centre in Syria (for example: Case Closed), as the studio wasn't well known before they became the go-to dubbing studio for Spacetoon.
