John Burgmeier

John Burgmeier voices Tien Shinhan and the Saibamen in the Funimation dub of Dragon Ball, bringing serious intensity to the three-eyed martial artist and his various encounters. His portrayal captures Tien's gradual evolution from antagonist to respected fighter and ally. Beyond his most famous role, Burgmeier voices Saibaman, Angila, Gregory, Nuova Shenron, Shula, Caroni, and Dium across the Dragon Ball franchise, establishing himself as a reliable secondary character voice across multiple sagas and characters.

Born in Chicago and the son of veteran voice actress Linda Young, Burgmeier brings family voice acting legacy to his work. He is perhaps most recognizable in anime fandom for voicing Kurama in Yu Yu Hakusho, but has also voiced Lucky Roo and Fullbody in One Piece, Rei in Kodocha, and Shigure Sohma in Fruits Basket. His work as an ADR scriptwriter for Funimation demonstrates his broader contributions to anime localization and dubbing quality.
