Legendary Japanese sound effects designer who created Dragon Ball's iconic sound effects throughout all anime series and films, retiring in January 2026.
Hidenori Arai stands as the architect of Dragon Ball's instantly recognizable sound design. His work creating the franchise's iconic sound effects became inseparable from the Dragon Ball experience itself, defining how energy attacks, transformations, and martial arts impacts sounded across the original Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Kai television series. Arai extended his comprehensive sound work across the entire Dragon Ball theatrical catalogue, including iconic moments from Curse of the Blood Rubies, Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle, Mystical Adventure, and every Dragon Ball Z theatrical release through Wrath of the Dragon.
Beyond Dragon Ball, Arai demonstrated expertise in sound design across other significant anime franchises including One Piece. His work shaped the auditory landscape for Dr. Slump films and multiple other anime productions. On January 25, 2026, Arai announced his retirement, concluding a career defined by meticulous sound craftsmanship that made Dragon Ball's action sequences viscerally engaging across decades of production.
