Voice actor Bryce Papenbrook is celebrating a special occasion for one of his most popular anime characters. The talented performer recently took to Instagram to wish Inosuke Hashibira, the wild boar-headed warrior he voices in the hit series “Demon Slayer,” a happy birthday.
Papenbrook shared a post with the caption “Happy Birthday Inosuke 🐗🎉” featuring what appears to be a clip or image related to the character. The post highlights the actor’s continued connection to the fan-favorite character known for his feral nature and unpredictable personality.
The Voice Behind The Boar Mask
Bryce Papenbrook has become one of the most recognizable voices in English-dubbed anime. He is known for voicing several prominent anime characters including Eren Jaeger in “Attack on Titan,” Kirito in “Sword Art Online,” Meliodas in “Seven Deadly Sins,” and Cat Noir in the animated series “Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.”
Inosuke Hashibira has become one of Papenbrook’s standout roles since “Demon Slayer” (Kimetsu no Yaiba) debuted. The character is instantly recognizable for wearing a boar’s head as a mask and possessing a wild, untamed fighting style that complements his equally unpredictable personality.
A Creative Voice Acting Series
The birthday celebration for Inosuke comes amid what appears to be a fun series of posts from Papenbrook. Recently, he’s been sharing videos where he voices everyday objects using his character voices. In one post captioned “Inosuke voices everything… a banana 🍌,” Papenbrook appears to be using Inosuke’s distinctive voice to personify a banana.
This creative approach continues in other recent posts where Papenbrook voices a clock as Cat Noir with the caption “Cat Noir voices everything… a clock ⏰” and a drill as Eren with “Eren voices everything… a drill 👷♂️.”
Convention Appearances
Papenbrook has been keeping busy with convention appearances. According to his recent Instagram activity, he posted “First in my line at @weebconofficial 🎉,” suggesting he’s been meeting fans at WeebCon.
He also shared his excitement about heading to Las Vegas, posting: “Let’s go Vegas 🍾 Heading back to @lvlupexpo 4/25 – 4/27 and it’s gonna be awesome! Can’t wait to see everyone there 🙌.” In the post, he tagged several of his character names including #Kirito, #ErenJaeger, #Meliodas, #ShirouEmiya, #CatNoir, and #Inosuke.
Papenbrook recently returned from Australia, posting “Farewell Australia! Hope to return again soon. We had an amazing time in #Melbourne. Your birds are louder than my kids.” Before that trip, he had shared his excitement about the journey with “Heading back to where it all began 🐨🦘 #Australia” and mentioned he would be at Supanova Expo in Melbourne.
Family Connections
In another recent post, Papenbrook shared a fun voice acting moment with a caption reading “Who voice acted better? Me or my daughter?” The post suggests that voice acting might run in the family, with his daughter potentially following in his footsteps.
Bryce Papenbrook comes from a voice acting lineage himself. His father, Bob Papenbrook, was also a voice actor known for his work in anime and video games before his passing in 2006. The family tradition of voice performance appears to be continuing with Bryce now involving his daughter in the craft.
For fans of Demon Slayer and Inosuke specifically, Papenbrook’s birthday celebration post offers a charming reminder of the connection between voice actors and their beloved characters. The birthday post demonstrates how these performers often develop personal attachments to the roles they bring to life, celebrating them almost as if they were real friends or family members.
