Italian actor and prolific voice actor born in Turin who provided Mr. Popo's voice across Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Z in Italian.
Arras gave Mr. Popo, Kami's loyal attendant and martial arts master, his Italian voice throughout multiple Dragon Ball eras. He voiced the character across the original Dragon Ball anime, the Dragon Ball Z series, and Dragon Ball GT, providing consistency to the enigmatic guardian's Italian dialogue across decades of the franchise. His work on the character extended to theatrical films including Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone and Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler, where Popo appeared in alternate dub editions.
Born in Turin, Arras became one of Italy's most prolific voice actors, lending his talents to countless anime series, films, and television productions. His credits span Naruto (voicing the First Hokage), Beyblade G Revolution, Corrector Yui, and video games including the Pokémon series, Saint Seiya, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Transformers franchises. This prolific output established him as a cornerstone of Italian anime and media dubbing.
