Tara Sands
Voice ActorBest known for her anime dub work, American voice actress Tara Sands voices Kombu Infinity in the English version of One Punch Man.
One Punch Man Role
In the English dub, Sands voices Kombu Infinity, a seaweed-based monster that Saitama happens to run into and defeat right after a grocery run. The fight ends with the creature stripped of its tentacles, which are then turned into kombu soup, before Kombu Infinity flees in defeat, a fittingly absurd resolution for one of the series' many one-off comedic threats. It's a small but memorable early role that fits the show's habit of dispatching monsters in a single offbeat gag.
