Brandon Acosta’s Rise Through the Crunchyroll Dubbing Pipeline

Puerto Rican by birth and Dallas-based by choice, Brandon Acosta (born February 3, 1993) has built a steady presence in anime dubbing almost entirely through Crunchyroll’s Texas-based production pipeline. What started with minor ensemble roles in long-running series – additional voices in Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, and SPY x FAMILY – gave way to meatier, named characters as his range and consistency became apparent to casting directors. The progression from background filler to series regulars is one of the cleaner career arcs among the current generation of Texas dubbing talent.

Blue Lock, Gundam, and Breaking Into Named Roles

The credit that put Acosta on the radar of English-dubbed anime fans was Leonardo Luna in Blue Lock, the high-intensity soccer series that attracted close attention from sports anime audiences. Around the same period, he landed Kenanji Avery in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury – a franchise with one of the most exacting fanbases in anime. Both roles landed in 2022-2023, giving him two simultaneously active named characters in high-profile Crunchyroll properties. Dead Mount Death Play added Takumi Kuruya to his profile, and the 2024 season brought Sion Ulster in Wistoria: Wand and Sword, his most prominent lead-adjacent role to date.

Expanding Into Games and Continuing Simulcast Work

Beyond television anime, Acosta voiced Moss in the action RPG Zenless Zone Zero and brought Dail to life in the indie adventure Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, extending his footprint into the video game space. On the simulcast side, he has appeared in Kaiju No. 8 as Akira Kurusu, Let’s Play, Viral Hit, The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil, and Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms. Into 2025 and 2026, he picked up roles in Witch Hat Atelier and Sentenced to be a Hero, keeping pace with the release schedule of current Crunchyroll titles.
