Butch (Japanese: コサブロウ Kosaburō) is one half of of the Team Rocket duo that occasionally runs across Ash Ketchum and friends in the Pokémon anime. His voice actors are 子安武人 Takehito Koyasu in Japanese and Eric Stuart (4Kids dub) and Billy Beach (PUSA/TAJ dub). Butch's dub voice seems to be an impression of Harvey Fierstein.
Butch's partner is Cassidy, and she is one of the few that usually manages to get his name right- much to his frustration, everyone else calls him either "Biff", "Bill", "Bob", "Hutch", "Butcher", "Patch", or "Botch" (コサンジ Kosanji in Japanese). Sometimes when she gets it right, he, by habit, tries to correct her and ends up calling himself the incorrect name. Everyone getting his name wrong has become a running gag in the anime. This, of course, annoys him to no end. He once even said in frustration, "That's it, I am changing my name."
