Matthew Lawrence is an American actor known for his work in film and television, who also contributed to the anime medium through his voice work in an English-language dub of a Studio Ghibli film. His most recognized anime voice role is Tombo, the aviation-obsessed young boy who befriends the title character in Hayao Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service. This English dub of the 1989 Japanese anime feature was produced by Disney and released in 1998, featuring a cast that includes Kirsten Dunst as Kiki and Phil Hartman as Jiji the cat. In a behind-the-scenes interview for the film, Lawrence commented on the nature of voice acting, noting that a key benefit is the ability to re-record lines as needed.

Beyond this prominent role in anime, extensive information on a dedicated career as an anime voice actor is not available. The majority of his acting credits are in live-action roles for television series and films, including recurring parts on shows such as Boy Meets World and Brotherly Love. As such, his work in anime appears to be limited to this single, notable performance in Kiki's Delivery Service.
