Santiago Ziesmer

Santiago Ziesmer was the original German voice of Vegeta in Dragon Ball Z, bringing the proud Saiyan prince to life in the German-language version. However, fan reception to his vocal interpretation led to his replacement by Oliver Siebeck. Despite this early setback, Ziesmer remained connected to the franchise, returning as the voice of Giru in Dragon Ball GT. His work represents part of the broader international dubbing efforts that brought Dragon Ball to audiences across different regions and languages.

Ziesmer's voice acting work spans multiple anime series and animated productions, including voices for Fairy Tail, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, and various English-language animated shows where he has provided localization work. In addition to anime dubbing, he has worked on animated properties like SpongeBob SquarePants and Animaniacs, establishing himself as an experienced voice professional in multiple languages.
