Clint Bickham
Description
Clint Bickham is an American voice actor and ADR scriptwriter known for his extensive work in English dubs of anime series, primarily with studios like Sentai Filmworks and Funimation. His career in the industry began in the early 2000s, with his first voice roles appearing in 2003. Before focusing on voice acting, Bickham also worked in manga adaptation, writing English scripts for Tokyopop titles such as Domo and Jyu-Oh-Sei, and he collaborated with illustrator Priscilla Hamby on the original manga Devil's Candy.
Bickham has built a substantial portfolio of anime voice roles across a wide variety of genres. He is perhaps best known for his performances as Akihito Kanbara in Beyond the Boundary, a role he reprised in the series' recap and sequel films. He also gained recognition for voicing Finland in the long-running Hetalia franchise, including Hetalia: Axis Powers and Hetalia World Stars. In the popular sports anime Haikyu!!, Bickham voices two prominent characters: the quiet and strategic setter Kenma Kozume and the versatile wing spiker Kiyoomi Sakusa, appearing in Haikyu!! To The Top and Haikyu!! Land vs. Air. He is also the voice of Isami Aldini, one of the Aldini twin brothers, across multiple seasons of Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma.
His other notable roles include Renji Asou in the ef duology (ef: a tale of memories and ef: a tale of melodies), Teiichi Niiya in Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, Haru in Tsuritama, Mochizō Ōji in Tamako Market and its sequel film, Ikki Kurogane in Chivalry of a Failed Knight, and Sōgo Okita in Gintama: The Final. His film work also includes roles in the Haikyu!! movie The Dumpster Battle and the Gintama franchise.
Throughout his career, Bickham has frequently collaborated with other voice actors and studios based in Texas, particularly those associated with Sentai Filmworks and its predecessor, ADV Films. His work is characterized by a range that spans from comedic and quirky characters like Haru in Tsuritama to more serious and emotionally complex roles like Renji in ef and Akihito in Beyond the Boundary. Critically, his performance as Haru in Tsuritama has been highlighted as a standout, with reviewers noting his ability to perfectly capture the character's unique personality and quirks. Beyond acting, Bickham has also contributed as an ADR scriptwriter, further demonstrating his versatility within the anime localization industry.
