Chris Wehkamp
Description
Christopher Wehkamp is an American voice actor based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, primarily known for his extensive work in English dubs of anime produced by Crunchyroll (formerly Funimation). Before entering the voice acting industry, Wehkamp was involved in theater, and a director's suggestion led him to pursue voiceover work. He began his career in anime dubbing around 2009, a time he notes was before the industry became highly competitive. He is a graduate of the University of North Texas.
Wehkamp has built a substantial career with roles in numerous popular anime series. Among his most prominent and long-running roles is Shota Aizawa, the homeroom teacher in the hit series My Hero Academia. He also voices Goto Ryuji in Solo Leveling and Michael Kaiser in Blue Lock. His other notable credits include characters in major franchises such as Tokyo Ghoul and Attack on Titan.
In addition to these high-profile roles, Wehkamp has contributed his voice to a wide variety of other series. As the user noted, he plays the dual roles of Yamabiko and Kunihiko Yamada in the surreal 2021 anime series Sonny Boy. He also voiced the Aztec god Huehuecoyotl in the 2019 supernatural series Midnight Occult Civil Servants. That same year, he was cast as Sosei Arakida in the English dub of the otome game adaptation Stand My Heroes: Piece of Truth. In the 2025 dystopian anime series Gachiakuta, he voices the character Enjin, a role he has described as having a more mischievous and playful side compared to the many "tough dude" characters he has often played in the past.
Beyond acting, Wehkamp has also taken on roles as a director and additional crew member on various projects. He is married and lives with his family in Dallas, Texas.
