Daisuke Gōri

Daisuke Gōri's deep, commanding voice made him the perfect choice for Mr. Satan, the bombastic martial arts champion who appeared across Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Z Kai. His vocal delivery captured Mr. Satan's bravado and eventual redemption arc, from comedic fraud to genuine protector of Earth. Beyond Mr. Satan, Gōri voiced numerous characters across the Dragon Ball franchise including King Yemma, Ox-King, King Cold, and Turtle, using his distinctive voice to bring gravitas to father figures and imposing characters throughout the series.

From Tokyo, Gōri was affiliated with Aoni Production and became known for his versatility, voicing comedic characters, imposing villains, and father figures despite his deep voice. He provided voices for the Dragon Ball video game series and voiced notable anime roles including King Yemma and Turtle. Gōri passed away on January 17, 2010, at age 57, after struggles with diabetes and retinal detachment that affected his ability to perform voice work. Following his death, Unshō Ishizuka took over the role of Mr. Satan in Dragon Ball Z Kai.
