Alan Young

Description
Alan Young performed voice work for English-language adaptations of Japanese anime, most notably in the series Battle of the Planets. This series was an American adaptation of the original Japanese anime Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. In the 1978 Sandy Frank Entertainment dub titled Battle of the Planets, Young voiced two distinct characters: the robot 7-Zark-7, who served as a narrator and support for the G-Force team, and the young hero Keyop, who was designated G-4. The role of Keyop is specifically cited as G-4 within the G-Force team structure. His work on this production placed him among a voice cast that included Casey Kasem, Janet Waldo, and Ronnie Schell. The adaptation toned down elements of the original Gatchaman series for its American broadcast. Beyond these specific anime roles, Young had an extensive career as a screen and voice actor, famously providing the voice of Scrooge McDuck for Disney productions including DuckTales and Mickey's Christmas Carol. He also played the role of Wilbur on the classic television series Mister Ed. Information regarding the specific role of 7-Zark-7 in a series titled Otaku Unite could not be verified in available sources. Alan Young passed away in May 2016 at the age of 96.
