Ian James Corlett (born August 29, 1962) is a Canadian voice actor and author. He is the creator of the animated series Being Ian and Yvon of the Yukon with Studio B Productions (merged with Nerd Corps Entertainment), with notable voice roles including Mega Man in Ruby-Spears' Mega Man series, Cheetor in Beast Wars: Transformers, Baby Taz in Baby Looney Tunes and the first English voice of adult Goku in the Ocean dub of Dragon Ball Z from 1996 to 1997.

Early life

Corlett was born on August 29, 1962, the youngest of three sons to Eva (née Lasko) and Arthur Corlett, a music store owner.

In 1980, during his final year at Burnaby South Secondary School, Corlett made a video about life at the school starring his friend Alan McConnell getting into all sorts of antics, which became available on his YouTube channel in 2023 after sitting in an archive for 43 years.

He also voiced Mr. Cramp in The Cramp Twins, Ten Cents, Otis, Zeebee, Zip, Lord Stinker, Frank, Eddie, and the Lighthouse Clock in Salty's Lighthouse, and Ransome the Clown in the video game Thimbleweed Park.

He, along with fellow Canadian voice actor Terry Klassen, owned a production company that helped rewrite international shows. He is also the creator of the animated series Being Ian and Yvon of the Yukon.

In anime, Corlett has voiced Master Roshi in Dragon Ball Z and Miroku in Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon, replacing Kirby Morrow, who was the original English voice actor for Miroku in the Inuyasha series until his death on November 18, 2020.
