David Matranga is a prolific American voice actor known for English-dubbed anime, recognized for major roles such as Shoto Todoroki in My Hero Academia; in Spy x Family's English dub he voices Daybreak, the bumbling would-be rival to Twilight, and the Eden Academy tutor Thomas Austin.
Matranga's English-dub work on Spy x Family covers Daybreak, the self-styled Ostanian spy who casts himself as Twilight's rival despite far more luck than talent, along with Thomas Austin, a live-in tutor at Eden Academy. The comedic Daybreak role lets Matranga play against the earnest heroes he often voices, adding range to a resume built around English-dubbed anime since 1998. Both parts fold into the Wit Studio and CloverWorks production alongside his other franchise credits.
Across more than two decades in the industry, Matranga has become one of English dubbing's most recognizable voices, playing Shoto Todoroki in My Hero Academia and Bertholdt Hoover in Attack on Titan among his highest-profile franchise credits. His range extends into games as well, where he voices Ken Masters in Street Fighter 6, and into cult favorites like Briareos in Appleseed, reflecting a career built on steady, wide-ranging work rather than a single defining role.
