No, I didn't!  I didn't know that much about the Japanese dub of SpongeBob, outside of how some of the male characters have female VAs.

Certain other things were localized too

For example
Squidward's name in Japanese is actually "Ikarudo" ／　イカルド
Ika = Squid (in Japanese)
which is then combined with edward
Hence there Ikarudo part
They sorta had to do some combination a similar way the original english name did.
A Similar thing can be said to Squilliam: JPN name: Ikarimu

When using I/ME in a certain occasion. (Not in public)
Japan has a more open way of reflecting a certain character's personality.
(Thanks to a wiki explaining that)
Spongebob in japanese uses "Boku" (ぼく) for his childish personality (Mostly in young boys)
Squidward/Ikarudo uses Washi （わし）for his older personality

And i guess the only time where Plankton's Japanese VA has it correct (You know... The irony?) is the 2004 movie than using the "Small characters + Kawaii Voice" Stereotype. (Outside of said movie)
