Henry Coombs
Description
Henry Coombs is an English voice actor known for his work on English-language dubs of Japanese anime, primarily produced in Hong Kong. His career is most prominently associated with Omni Productions, a prolific dubbing studio that created English versions of numerous anime series for distribution in various English-speaking markets, particularly throughout Southeast Asia and other regions during the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s.
Coombs provided the voice for the character Suzuki Ichiro (often credited as Ichiro Suzuki) in the English dub of the comedy anime series Cyborg Kuro-chan. His involvement with the series began from episode seven onward. He is also recognized for his role as the voice of Twincast in the English dub of the Transformers franchise installment, Transformers The Headmasters.
His broader filmography includes a range of other credited roles, demonstrating the depth of his work in the industry during this era. These credits include the role of Go-Buuro-Gu in Kamen Rider Kuuga, Gambler Gundam in City Hunter, Daisuke Ozaru in Sasuke, and Yuu Kouzuki in Daa! Daa! Daa!. Perhaps most notably, Coombs played the roles of both Jaken, the diminutive and loyal servant of Sesshomaru, and the monk Miroku, a principal character, in different versions or productions of the Inuyasha English dub. While comprehensive documentation of his complete body of work remains sparse, his known performances solidify his place within the history of English anime dubbing, particularly as a regular contributor to the output of Omni Productions during a formative period for the industry outside of Japan.
