(Note: I was going to put this in the anime thread, but I changed my mind since half the topic is non-Japanese related.

Bascically what the title says. My example:
Koichi Yamadera:
Best known in anime for-
*Ranma 1/2 (Ryoga Hibiki/P-Chan)
*Neon Genesis Evangelion (Ryoji Kaji)
*Ghost in the Shell (Togusa)
*Cowboy Bebop (Spike Spiegel)
*Pokemon (Mew)

Western Animation he's dub in Japanese are-
*Disney (Donald Duck, Sabastian the Crab, Beast, Genie, Mushu, Stitch, Roger Rabbit, Jaq)
*Batman: The Animated Series (Opening Narrator)
*X-Men (90's) (Cyclops)
*Tiny Toons Adventures (Plucky Duck)
*Donkey Kong Country (Donkey Kong)
*Shrek (Donkey)
*Ice Age (Manfred the Mammoth)
*Popeye (Popeye)
*The Simpsons (“Michael Jackson” in 'Stark Raving Dad')

Fun Fact: He was considered for the role of Sheriff Woody in the Japanese dub of Toy Story.

If any of you have any free time, do a YouTube search for 'Koichi Yamadera: Japanese Voice Actor.' It's all these roles compiled together to show his awesomeness.
 
Seiyuu is the term used to describe Japanese VA, as they have options to go to schools to learn specifically voice acting, rather than what is done in America where only classes exist for acting.
 
hmmmmm

First there's Megumi Hayashibara (Faye Valentine in Cowboy Bebop, Rei Ayanami in NGE, Lina Inverse in Slayers and many, many others) who was the Japanese dub voice of Barbara Gordan/Batgirl in Batman: The Animated Series.


Tessho Genda (recently known as the Kyuubi in Naruto) is the go-to guy for dubbing over Batman. Extending to video games, he was God of War's Kratos in Japan.


Kappei Yamaguchi (L of Death Note, the titular Inuyasha, Ranma Saotome of Ranma 1/2, Usopp of One Piece) voices Kyle in the South Park dub and is the current voice of Bugs Bunny in Japan.


Katsumi Suzuki (Kagome Higurashi's grandmfather in Inuyasha and Elder Toguro in Yu Yu Hakusho) played Red Guy and Flem in Cow and Chicken and was Mandark in the Dexter's Lab dub.


Ai Orikasa (Quatre in Gundam Wing) was Tommy Pickles in the Rugrats dub, Foxxy Love in Drawn Together, and Jessica Rabbit in the Japanese dub of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.


Fumihiko Tachiki (Gendo Ikari in NGE, Kenpachi Zaraki in Bleach) was Ralph the Guard in the Animaniacs dub.


Haruhi Terada (Mai Kujaku/Valentine) was Invader Zim's Gaz and the dub voice of Harley Quinn.


Hiromi Tsuru (Bulma from Dragonball, Meryl in Trigun) was the dub voice of Penny in Inspector Gadget.


Hiro Yuki (Taikobou in Houshin Engi, Arc in Arc the Lad) is the Japanese dub voice of Stan Marsh.


Hisako Kyoda (Genkai in Yu Yu Hakusho) was the dub voice of Slappy Squirrel on Animaniacs, Fauna in Sleeping Beauty, and Grandmother Willow in Pocahontas.


Kenichi Ogata (Genma Saotome of Ranma 1/2) was the dub voice of Brain in Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain.


Ken Narita (Jeremiah Gottwald in Code Geass) was Johnny Bravo.





That's all I have right now.
 
Ryusei Nakao, the voice of Freeza happens to be the Japanese VA for Yakko in Animaniacs, Buster Bunny in Tiny Toons, Darkwing Duck, and Jon Arbuckle in Garfield. Kind of came as a surprise, considering that most of the roles I notice him playing in anime are usually villains, and most of the roles I listed are nice guys.
 
Off the top of my head, the only ones I can think of are Mayumi Suzuki, who dubbed over various Disney projects (moreover, I haven't found any anime that she's done), and Chikao Ohtsuka (Dr. Eggman in the Sonic the Hedgehog series; Gold Roger in One Piece) who voiced Dick Dastardly in Wacky Races (or rather "Chiki Chiki Mou Race", as it is/was called over there).
 
Toshio Furukawa (voice of Ataru in Urusei Yatsura and Piccolo in Dragon Ball/Z) voiced Shaggy in the Japanese dub of Scooby-Doo. I'd love to find a clip of this!:D

Furukawa-san voiced Panchito Pistoles.
