Fábio Lucindo
Description
Fábio Lucindo is a Brazilian actor, voice actor, and dubbing director, widely recognized as one of the most prominent voices in Brazilian anime dubbing. Born Fábio Pinheiro Freme Lopes Lucindo in São Paulo on February 16, 1984, his career in performance began unexpectedly at the age of five when he participated in television commercials. His entry into professional acting came in 1992 when he was cast in the play O Céu Tem Que Esperar, starring alongside renowned actors such as Paulo Autran. In 1996, at twelve years old, Lucindo began his career in dubbing after being recommended to the Álamo studio, where he started as an intern and passed the qualifying test.
Lucindo's career is defined by a vast and diverse portfolio of iconic anime characters. His most defining role came in 1999 when, at the age of fifteen, he was cast as the voice of Ash Ketchum in the Brazilian Portuguese dub of Pokémon. He would continue to voice the character for sixteen years, from the first season through the eighteenth, and in several of the franchise's films, making his voice synonymous with the character for a generation of Brazilian viewers. He held the role until his departure from the series in 2015, an event that prompted a notable reaction from fans.
Beyond Pokémon, Lucindo has lent his voice to a wide array of leading and supporting characters in major anime series. His roles include Kuririn in the Dragon Ball franchise, Shinji Ikari in Neon Genesis Evangelion, Killua Zoldyck in the 1999 Hunter × Hunter anime, and Ichigo Kurosaki in Bleach. In the long-running series Naruto, he voiced Kiba Inuzuka. He has also taken on prominent roles in more recent hits, such as Katsuki Bakugo in My Hero Academia, Legoshi in BEASTARS, and Kusuo Saiki in The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.: Reawakened. His film work in anime includes roles in major theatrical releases, such as Shinji Ikari in Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time and Kuririn in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.
In addition to his voice work, Fábio Lucindo has worked extensively as a dubbing director for various studios, including Álamo, Centauro, and Vox Mundi. Notably, he directed the third dubbing of Neon Genesis Evangelion for Netflix. Beyond anime and dubbing, his career encompasses live-action acting in theater and film, as well as work as a television presenter and author. In 2015, he published his first book, a compilation of poems and short stories titled Até Então.
In 2015, Lucindo moved to Portugal to study at the University of Coimbra, a period during which he stepped away from regular dubbing work, leading to his replacement as the voice of Ash Ketchum. He returned to Brazil in 2018 and resumed his career in voice acting and direction. His enduring impact on Brazilian popular culture is firmly established through his decades-long contribution to the art of dubbing, bringing life to some of the most beloved characters in animation.
