Italian voice actress and theater critic who provided the Italian voice for Kid Trunks across Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super, becoming a recognizable presence in the Italian dub.
Monica Bonetto voiced Kid Trunks in both Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super for the Italian dubbing, bringing character personality to the young prince across multiple series installments. As the Italian voice of Trunks throughout his childhood appearances, she was responsible for conveying the character's serious demeanor, growing confidence, and emotional depth during critical story arcs. Voice acting in animation requires consistent performance across potentially years of production, matching emotional beats and action sequences while maintaining character consistency.
Bonetto was also known for her work as the second Italian voice of Conan Edogawa in Detective Conan, and she worked as a theatrical critic in her native Turin, Italy. She passed away in April 2017 after a serious illness, leaving behind significant contributions to Italian anime dubbing and theater criticism.
