X-Men and Gundam Voice Legend Michael Kopsa Sadly Passed Away Four Years Ago Today at 66 🎙️🕊️ Michael Kopsa built an unusually versatile career across anime dubbing, Western animation, video games, and live-action television. Anime fans knew his commanding voice as Char Aznable in Mobile Suit Gundam and Char’s Counterattack, while superhero audiences heard him as Hank McCoy / Beast in X-Men: Evolution. His voice could move easily from heroes and military figures to villains and eccentric supporting characters, with memorable work across Ninjago, Death Note, Inuyasha, MegaMan NT Warrior, Galaxy Angel, and Littlest Pet Shop. Some of his memorable voice roles included: • Beast / Hank McCoy — X-Men: Evolution • Char Aznable — Mobile Suit Gundam / Char’s Counterattack • Samukai / Vex — Ninjago • Controller — Iron Man: Armored Adventures • Takeshi Ooi — Death Note — English Dub • Ovan — .hack//Roots — English Dub • Commander Volcott O’Huey — Galaxy Angel • Aeolia Schenberg — Mobile Suit Gundam 00 • Roger Baxter — Littlest Pet Shop • Goshinki / Byakko / Mezu — Inuyasha • LaserMan.EXE / PharaohMan.EXE — MegaMan NT Warrior • Yakon — Dragon Ball Z — Ocean Dub • Propheci / Reepyr — Dragon Booster • Lavin Skee — Planet Hulk • Baron Von Ravendale — Barbie in Princess Power His live-action work was just as extensive: • Captain Windmark — Fringe • Ned Cecil — Fantastic Four • Paul Klein — Watchmen • Deputy Secretary of Defense — Apollo 18 • Jerk Driver — Rise of the Planet of the Apes Four years later, his voice still connects remarkably different worlds, from Char Aznable’s battlefield intensity and Beast’s intelligence to the villains, fathers, commanders, and creatures that filled out decades of animation. Remembering Michael Kopsa, 1956–2022. 🎙️🕊️
