Kiyoshi Kawakubo

Kiyoshi Kawakubo (1929-2019) was a Japanese voice actor who dubbed Doc on the NHK Japanese dub of Fraggle Rock. He also dubbed Peter Sellers on The Muppet Show and Peter Boyle in the Creature Shop-effects film Dr. Dolittle.
Kawakuba began voicing characters in anime in the 1960s, beginning with one of the hyenas on Kimba the White Lion, and was heard in Alakazam the Great (dubbed in English with Jonathan Winters and Arnold Stang). He usually voiced authority figures (politicians, police chiefs, priests, and principals) as well as grandfathers and recurred as CEO Quincy in the Bubblegum Crisis series.
Even more prolific in dubbing imports, Kawakubo was the Japanese voice of David Niven in several films, George Gaynes in Police Academy, Eddie Albert on Green Acres, Conrad Bain on Diff'rent Strokes, Ray Walston on My Favorite Martian, and Bernie Kopell on Get Smart. Cartoon roles include Prince John in Disney's Robin Hood, Edgar in The Aristocats, and the Hooded Claw on The Perils of Penelope Pitstop.
