In terms of dubbing, some of his roles include Tigger in Winnie the Pooh, a number of animated incarnations of Batman since the DC Animated Universe, Cable in the TV Tokyo dub of Saban's X-Men, the current voice for Foghorn Leghorn in Looney Tunes, Kratos in the God of War series, Mace Windu in Star Wars, Hiro in Thomas & Friends, the slumbering dragon in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Good Cop/Bad Cop (but not Batman!) in The LEGO Movie.

Notes
- Because of his healthy background in ballet, one of his popular nicknames is "Pirouette Genda". *snicker*
- Genda played a parody of his Optimus Prime character (named "Ostimus Surprise") in episode 7 of the series Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. Seizō Katō, despite having retired from the role, played a parody of Megatron in that same episode.
