4Kids Entertainment is an anime dubbing company located in New York that is well known for toning down anime to make them more "kid-friendly" and hiding their Japanese origin with various methods such as painting away Japanese food, text, etc. Considering that most of these anime are a bit mature, you can see that this won't end well. Eventually, they learned from their massive "hatedom", and lost the rights of One Piece to Funimation, and much rejoicing was had by all.
Between 2005 and 2010, 4Kids voice actors did work on Sonic games for "consistency with the Sonic X show". Until they were recast again with Californian talent, but Mike Pollock got to stay because he's pretty much the only 4Kids VA who's universally liked.
