For example, Ash Ketchum from Pokemon is male but voiced by a female in the dub and sub.
Same with Nagisa from Assassination Classroom.

Ryoma from Prince of Tennis was voiced by a woman
same with Oz from Pandora Hearts
Edward Elric from FMA
actually, just look up Park Romi on MAL. She voiced a lot of young male characters like Ed, Toushirou hitsugaya, the MC of eyeshield 21, Switzerland, etc.
Also look up Junko Minagawa


it's pretty common as the previous post mentioned.

Oh yeah and female Hijikata in Gintama was voiced by the original male voice actor too. but it's rare for a guy to voice a female character.

Because Japanese don't mind watching male characters that sound like they have a cold or are speaking like their balls are being crushed by some typical violent tsundere bitch.

For little kids it's mainly because it's cheaper and much easier to work with trained adult voice actresses to voice children than to hire actual kids.

It's really not that surprising for young characters. But Orochimaru being voiced by a woman surprised me

Its mainly because lack of voice acting experience and that a boy's voice changes drastically after puberty. The other two minor aspects is child labor laws and they can use the same voice actress if they plan on doing sequels.
