Erik Scott Kimerer is an American voice actor who gives the English voice to Obanai Iguro in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" (studio Ufotable). He is also a professional wrestler competing as the Sassy Assassin.
In the English dub of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" (studio Ufotable), Kimerer voices Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps. The part places him among the cast bringing the elite swordsmen of the series to English-speaking audiences, and it stands alongside the many leading anime roles he has accumulated since beginning dub work in 2010. Voicing a Hashira fits a career built largely on prominent male leads and secondary heroes across action and fantasy series.
Kimerer has lent his voice to numerous English-language adaptations of Japanese anime and video games. His credited roles include Ryuji Takasu in "Toradora!", Alibaba Saluja across the "Magi" franchise, Speed o' Sound Sonic in "One-Punch Man", and Teruki Hanazawa in "Mob Psycho 100". He has also appeared in mecha and science-fiction titles, voicing Biscuit Griffon in "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans", Riku Mikami in "Gundam Build Divers", Ayato Amagiri in "The Asterisk War", and Haruyuki Arita in "Accel World", as well as Hydra Knell in "Blood Lad".
Beyond the recording booth, Kimerer competes as a professional wrestler under the ring name Sassy Assassin, performing in Brian Kendrick's Wrestling Pro Wrestling (WPW). The combination gives him a dual public profile, pairing a steady voice-acting output with an active presence in independent professional wrestling.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle earned $778 million globally and nearly 40 billion yen in Japan, but it still couldn't top Mugen Train's domestic record. Here's why that barely matters....

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
