Victor Joseph Mignogna (/mɪnˈjɒnə/ min-YO-nuh; born August 27, 1962)[1][2] is an American voice actor and musician known for his work in the English dubs of Japanese anime shows, such as Edward Elric from the Fullmetal Alchemist series, which earned him the American Anime Award for Best Actor in 2007. Other animation roles include Broly from the Dragon Ball films, Tamaki Suoh in Ouran High School Host Club, Fai D. Flowright in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Dark in D.N.Angel, Kurz Weber in the Full Metal Panic! series, Zero and Ichiru Kiryu in the Vampire Knight series, Christopher Aonuma in Digimon Fusion, Nagato and Obito Uchiha in Naruto Shippuden, Kougaiji in Saiyuki, Ikkaku Madarame in Bleach, Rohan Kishibe in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable, Hideki Kurohagi in Marvel Anime: Wolverine, Qrow Branwen in RWBY, and Matt Ishida in Digimon Adventure tri. In video games, he has voiced E-123 Omega in the Sonic the Hedgehog series and Junpei Iori from Persona 3. In live-action work, he has participated in several Star Trek fan productions, including Star Trek Continues, as Captain James T. Kirk.
In early 2019, following sexual harassment allegations from the MeToo movement dating back to when his career began, Mignogna was dismissed from Sony Pictures and Rooster Teeth, but denied any accusations against himself. Mignogna unsuccessfully pursued legal cases against Funimation and other industry professionals in relation to the allegations and was ordered by a court to pay the defendants' legal fees. Mignogna has been less active in the voice-acting industry in response to the allegations.

Executive Summary
Mr. Mignona, while himself a court-documented nuisance to the opposite sex (and allegedly any convention staffer that doesn't make his tea properly) has a cult-like fanbase which can charitably be defined as "rabid and militant", especially within the confines of social media.
The official name for his fanclub is the "Risembool Rangers", though not everyone who continues to support him will claim to be a member of such a group, given the actor's status as an evangelical Christian[1] and the involvement of various right-wing figures in his legal battles.
