Israeli voice actor known for dubbing Dragon Ball Z characters into Hebrew, notably voicing Raditz and King Vegeta. He gained broader recognition as the Hebrew voice of Patrick Star in SpongeBob SquarePants.
Baranes provided Hebrew voice acting for Dragon Ball Z, bringing characters including Raditz, the fearsome Saiyan that triggered Goku's sacrifice, to Hebrew-speaking audiences. He also voiced Recoome from the Ginyu Force, Bon Para from the Red Ribbon Army, and Pirozhki. His role as King Vegeta connected the character across both the original Dragon Ball Z series and later Dragon Ball Super, maintaining voice continuity for the tyrannical Saiyan ruler across both productions.
Born in 1975, Baranes became known internationally as the Hebrew voice of SpongeBob's best friend Patrick Star, a role that showcased his comedic timing. His work in anime dubbing helped establish Dragon Ball Z's presence in Hebrew-language media, though his direct involvement with the franchise concluded after 2005, with a return for King Vegeta's 2016 appearance in Dragon Ball Super.
