Former Funimation voice actress from Arlington, Texas who became the first to voice young Goku in the Texas cast dubbing era, voicing him in two theatrical films before departing in 2002.
Ceyli Delgadillo holds the distinction of being the first voice actress to portray young Goku following Funimation's transition to the Texas dubbing cast. She voiced the character in Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle and Dragon Ball: Mystical Adventure, two theatrical films that marked an important turning point for the franchise's English localization. Her work on these movies remains intact on all remastered releases, cementing her place in Dragon Ball history. She also voiced young Dende in Dragon Ball Z before departing the company.
Delgadillo worked for Funimation Productions from 1997 to 2002, establishing herself during the company's formative years of anime dubbing. After leaving Texas, she relocated to Los Angeles and completed a master's degree in Drama Therapy from New York University. Her contributions during Funimation's earliest Texas era represent an important bridge between different voice actor generations, as her replacement, Stephanie Nadolny, took over the role of young Goku for the main series.
