Kim Seung-jun (Hangul: 김승준; born October 17, 1967) is a South Korean voice actor born and raised in Seoul, South Korea.
In 1990, he debuted as a voice actor by joining Korean Broadcasting System's Voice Acting Division. After four years of exclusive work at KBS, he became a freelancer.
In the late 1990s, Kim shot to stardom with voicing Zelgadis Greywords on Slayers and Kaede Rukawa on Slam Dunk. Since then, he has voiced leading roles in a variety of animated works including Pet Shop of Horrors, His and Her Circumstances, Saiyuki, Fruits Basket, The Prince of Tennis, Detective School Q and Demon King from Today!. For movie fans, he is well recognized for covering film stars such as Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Cillian Murphy, Johnny Depp, Leslie Cheung, Matt Damon and Stephen Chow. Kim also dubbed Saladin on a 1999 South Korean role-playing video game The War of Genesis III.
Many fans of Kim often refer to him as 왕자님 (Wang-ja-nim) meaning "The Prince". The nickname seems to have been derived from his tender voice and the characters who the voice actor mainly dubs.
Kim is best known for his voicing SpongeBob SquarePants on the Korean dub of SpongeBob SquarePants, Sesshomaru on the Korean dub of InuYasha, Roronoa Zoro on the Korean dub of a Japanese television animation series One Piece, the Tenth Doctor on the Korean dub of a British science fiction television series Doctor Who and more recently, Captain Marvelous on the Korean dub of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
