  Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO is in theaters now, and while fans around the world are enjoying the shonen series’ return to the big screen, English voice actor Kyle Hebert is celebrating a special moment – Gohan’s time in the spotlight.   Hebert has been voicing Gohan in the English dub of Dragon Ball for nearly 20 years, taking on the part after Gohan’s defeat of Cell and one of the most refreshing time skips in anime, when Gohan goes to high school! That is, in addition to his work as Ox-King, Pikkon and everyone’s favorite narrator in Dragon Ball Z .   It’s also likely you’ve heard Hebert elsewhere. He voiced Ryu in Street Fighter , Kamina in Gurren Lagann and the cherry-loving Kakyoin in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure . He’s no stranger to iconic roles, but in an interview with him in celebration of the release of Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO , it was clear: Gohan is a special role for Hebert.          How does it feel to step back into Gohan’s shoes once again, as the

PHOTOS: Wonder Festival Brings the Figures and Fun for Summer 2022

The twice-yearly event was downsized and even canceled over the past two years as the world faced the pandemic, with the Winter 2022 event, held last February, as the first stepping stone to returning to form. With Summer, Wonder Festival is back, so let’s check out a small sample of the show floor.   RELATED:  REPORT: Celebrating Digimon's 25-Year History at the Digital Monster Art Museum   Unlike previous year’s reports, this year I’ll be grouping the figure by booth rather than series to keep with the full experience of how the event was laid out.   AMIAMI     For the seasoned buyer, AmiA
