You never would've thought Son Goku and Naruto are voiced by women. OK, maybe you would have since they have rather feminine voices, but would it surprise you to know Monkey D. Luffy is also voiced by a female? No? Well, the point is: veteran voice actress Mayumi Tanaka. Her birth name is Mayumi Abe and she's been in the business for quite a while (over 30 years!). Before being cast as the voice of the lovable captain of the Thousand Sunny, she was also the resident lancer in Dragon Ball, Krillin. Since then, Mayumi's been cast in plenty of male, Shonen roles, occasionally voicing The Hero.

- Monkey D. Luffy and Oz in the One Piece franchise
- Mega Man Trigger in Mega Man Legends
- Koenma in Yu Yu Hakusho
