Italian voice actor best known for giving Piccolo his official Italian voice across three Dragon Ball series and later returning for Dragon Ball Super.
Alberto Olivero became the definitive Italian voice of Piccolo in 1998 when he was selected to dub the character across Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT. His portrayal became deeply familiar to Italian audiences throughout these series, establishing him as the character's official Italian voice for nearly two decades. In 2016, over a decade later, he returned to the role to voice Piccolo in Dragon Ball Super before stepping back from the character due to personal reasons.
Olivero's career began in theater during the 1980s before transitioning into film and anime work. Beyond Dragon Ball, he expanded significantly into video game localization, voicing characters in over forty games including Cole MacGrath, the protagonist of the first two Infamous titles. His versatility across animation and interactive media made him one of Italy's prolific dubbing voices.
