Voice Compare » InuYasha » InuYasha
Comparision of the voice over actors who have been the voice of InuYasha with sound clips and images.
EDITOR'S OPINION
Alright folks here is the latest VC for Inuyasha and this time its for the titular character himself! How is this possible you ask? Well read on and find out but first things first lets get to the reviews shall we? Anyways in the North American release of InuYasha he is voiced by Richard Cox in which is quite possibly his most famous (and in a way infamous) performance. Richard's voice and performance is one of the reasons why Inuyasha has been compared (both favorably and unfavorably) to Male Ranma from Ranma 1/2. (Though to be honest I do kinda blame Rumiko Takahashi a bit more about the similarities lets just say.) But still say what you will about the various reasons why Inuyasha has received some Hype Backlash lets just say but I always did like Richard Cox's work as Inuyasha. While Richard is well known for voicing hot-headed young punks and this is no exception but Richard is also capable of doing well with the more somber scenes that Inuyasha is in. (In fact some of you might be surprised why I picked a rather somber scene for Richard but lets just say the 2nd clip here is why.) But still while its not one of my favorite performances in that dub I always did like Richard Cox's work as Inuyasha.And now I shall finally answer how is a Voice Compare for Inuyasha is possible by still using official English voices. Well believe it or not there is a English dub of the show made for the Southeast Asia market shown by Animax Asia. Unfortunately footage for this dub is extremely rare but from what little I have heard I was pleasantly surprised by Inuyasha's voice in this dub. And in the Animax Asia dub Inuyasha has a nice moderate-toned youthful voice and while I admit I can only find footage of the Animax Asia dub of this scene from the 148th episode but from what I've seen here while its not REALLY great but all things considered this performance is actually pretty good. Overall I suppose I am still going with Richard Cox a bit more but I do like them both.

Darren's take on Inuyasha is far too light and soft. It just isn't Inuyasha if he doesn't sound like he's forcing his emotions out. Richard Ian Cox is the only Inuyasha for this girl.

Richard Cox! Such versatility in his acting-- he handled the anger, the mischief, the humor, and the craziness so well, while at the same time doing a wonderful job in the somber moments. Love him!!

Richard Ian Cox FTW.
Darren Pleavin is good as well, though Cox is closer to Kappei Yamaguchi as well and just sounds better as Inuyasha IMO.

Richard did a great job with this performance. Unfortunately in my mind he's been character typed. Oh well. Sorry Darren, you just didn't cut it. Richard's voice expressed the somber moment while still keeping in all of the characteristics that make up Inuyasha's personality. Darren just did the feeling of the moment and didn't have the spunk, dermination, akwardness, and hotheadedness that make up Inuyasha while at the same time expressing his gentler side. (yes it's a lot to swollow, but like real people characters are this complex)

I prefer Darren :) In this clip, he may not sound good but in the first few episodes of the series, he is awesome and so is Andrea, as Kagome. Both sounded very youthful :)
