Son Goku [nb 1] is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. He is based on Sun Wukong (known as Son Goku in Japan and Monkey Rex in the West), a master character of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West (16th century), combined with influences from the Hong Kong martial arts films of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. Goku first made his debut in the first Dragon Brawl chapter, Bulma and Son Goku,[nb 2] [nb iii] originally published in Japan's Weekly Shōnen Spring mag on December 3, 1984.[2] Goku is introduced as an eccentric, monkey-tailed boy who practices martial arts and possesses superhuman force. He meets Bulma and joins her on a journey to find the wish-granting vii Dragon Assurance. Along the way, he finds new friends who follow him on his journey to become a stronger fighter. As Goku grows upward, he becomes the World's mightiest warrior and battles a wide diverseness of villains with the assist of his friends and family, while also gaining new allies in the procedure.

Born every bit a member of the Saiyan race on Planet Vegeta, nether the proper noun Kakarot,[nb 4] [nb 5] he is sent to Earth as an infant prior to his homeworld's devastation at the easily of Frieza. Upon his arrival on Earth, the infant is discovered by Son Gohan, who becomes the adoptive grandfather of the boy and gives him the name Goku. The boy is initially full of violence and aggression due to his Saiyan nature, until an accidental caput injury turns him into a cheerful, carefree person. Grandpa Gohan's kindness and teachings assistance to farther influence Goku, who later on names his first son Gohan in award of him.

As the protagonist of Dragon Ball, Goku appears in most of the episodes, films, television specials and OVAs of the manga'south anime adaptations (Dragon Brawl, Dragon Ball Z) and sequels (Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Super), likewise as many of the franchise'south video games. Due to the serial' international popularity, Goku became one of the most recognizable and iconic manga/anime characters worldwide. Outside the Dragon Ball franchise, Goku has made cameo appearances in Toriyama'due south self-parody serial Neko Majin Z, has been the subject of other parodies, and has appeared in special events. Nigh Western audiences were introduced to the adult version of Goku appearing in the Dragon Brawl Z anime, itself an accommodation of Dragon Brawl manga volumes 17–42, as opposed to his initial child form, due to the limited success of the first series overseas.[3] Goku's disquisitional reception has been largely positive, but he has as well been criticized as being less heroic in Dragon Ball Super.

Conception and creation

Goku, and Dragon Ball in general, evolved from i of Akira Toriyama'south earlier one-shot series called Dragon Boy. In this story, the protagonist looks a lot like Goku, simply has a pair of wings.[four] The original inspiration was Hong Kong martial arts films, including Bruce Lee films such every bit Enter the Dragon (1973) and Jackie Chan films such as Drunken Main (1978);[5] [6] Toriyama said he had a immature Jackie Chan in mind for a live-action Goku, stating that "nobody could play Goku but him."[vii]

Bulma and Goku were the start pair of characters which were introduced in the manga and Toriyama stated that he subsequently introduced other characters in pairs because "that fashion, I'm able to explain the characters and their relationship to each other through their interactions. In my case, I experience that information technology isn't good to insert besides much narration. I suppose Goku and Bulma are representative of that." He further added that "equally a child, Goku doesn't know anything [of the world], so without Bulma, he'd be a grapheme who didn't say annihilation."[8] Toriyama also mentioned Torishima wanted Goku to class a human relationship with Bulma, merely this was never applied to the series.[9] With the decision of the Jail cell arc, Gohan was intended to replace his father as the protagonist, only Toriyama later decided that Gohan was unsuitable for the office.[ten] Co-ordinate to Toriyama, Goku is more of a selfish person than a hero as his main interest in the story is to fight stiff opponents rather than protecting the innocent. As a upshot, Toriyama was angered when the anime adaptations of Dragon Ball started portraying Goku as more heroic than his manga counterpart.[eleven]

Blueprint

The graphic symbol Goku is based on Sun Wukong (Son Goku in Japanese),[nb 6] the central character of the Chinese novel Journey to the W.[12] To be creative with the idea of Sun Wukong, Toriyama designed Goku as a human boy with a monkey'south tail, rather than a consummate simian, because the tail would requite the character a distinguishing feature.[10] He later stated that the tail was a pain to draw, hence why he had it go cutting off early on on.[13] Toriyama did not initially plan to make Goku an alien, it was not until the introduction of fighters from other planets that he established him as a Saiyan[nb 7] [nb 8].[14] Goku was given the ability to teleport to any planet in seconds, so that Toriyama could increment the pace of the story.[15]

Wanting the series to have a Chinese appearance, Toriyama used the color of the robes worn by Buddhist monks for Goku'due south dōgi.[sixteen] During the early on chapters of the manga, Toriyama's editor, Kazuhiko Torishima, commented that Goku looked rather patently. Toriyama had given him simple clothes on purpose because it was a fighting manga, so to combat this he added several characters similar Principal Roshi and Krillin, and created the Tenkaichi Budōkai[nb ix] [nb x] to focus the storyline on fighting. To defy the assumption that Goku would win the tournaments, Toriyama made him lose the first and 2nd but win the third.[ten]

Toriyama's editor was initially confronting having Goku grow upward, maxim it was uncommon to have the protagonist drastically change in manga, however, he gave in when Toriyama threatened that he would non be able to keep the series if the graphic symbol did non.[17] Toriyama later stated he had him grow up as a means to make drawing the fight scenes easier.[18]

When Toriyama thought up the Super Saiyan[nb 11] concept during the Frieza arc, he felt the only fashion to prove Goku's massive power-up was to take him transform. Initially he was concerned that the facial expression looked like that of a villain, but felt it was acceptable since the transformation was brought virtually by anger.[19] The Super Saiyan form too spared the trouble of coloring Goku's pilus all the time for the standard blackness-and-white manga pages.[20] This was the reason for the Super Saiyan form having blonde hair, because information technology was easier to depict for Toriyama's banana who spent a lot of time blacking in Goku's hair. Goku'due south piercing optics in Super Saiyan grade were also inspired by Bruce Lee's paralyzing glare.[21] For the Dragon Brawl Z anime accommodation, character designer Tadayoshi Yamamuro also used Bruce Lee every bit a reference, stating that, when he "first becomes a Super Saiyan, his slanting pose with that scowling look in his eyes is all Bruce Lee."[22]

Dragon Brawl GT primary character designer Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru said he agonized over designing Goku'due south Super Saiyan four advent, which was the idea of the show's producers, questioning whether it was necessary to go further with the transformations. Considering Super Saiyan iv is brought about while in a Saiyan'south Ōzaru [nb 12] form, he made the hair more "wild" and covered Goku's body in ruby-red fur. In that location was only a single final draft of the character, although Nakatsuru did consider making the hair blonde, he ended upwardly choosing black as information technology provides more contrast with the red fur.[23]

During the plans of the final story arc of Dragon Brawl Super, it was decided that Goku should have another transformation: The Ultra Instinct. The concept was that the Ultra Instinct would exist completely different from Goku'southward previous Super Saiyan transformations.[24]

Phonation actors

In the Japanese version of every Dragon Ball anime series and subsequent related media, Goku has been voiced by Masako Nozawa. Toriyama selected Nozawa upon hearing her audition sample, remarking that only Goku could sound like that.[25] Nozawa stated that she was ecstatic when she got the role because she had always wanted to be in one of Toriyama's works. She said she had to exist mindful of the fact that Goku grew up in the mountains and did non know much of the globe. Despite having to vocalisation Goku, Gohan, Goten and Bardock, Nozawa claims she is able to instantly get into the corresponding character simply upon seeing their paradigm.[26]

Nozawa explained that she did not read the manga so that she would not know what was coming in the story until recording, making her reactions the same as Goku'southward.[27] Nozawa said that she liked young Goku with his tail because he was cute, and stated that the grapheme was still the same even at the terminate of the series.[28]

He was ranked number i in IGN's 2009 list of Top 25 Anime Characters of All Fourth dimension[120] and reappeared on the same list in 2014, withal, on this occasion they ranked him third, with Cowboy Bebop 'due south Spike Spiegel and Neon Genesis Evangelion 's Shinji Ikari placed above him, saying that "He was, in many ways, a character that bucked the trends of his time and defined the management of shonen manga/anime for decades."[121] In Mania Entertainment'south 10 Virtually Iconic Anime Heroes, Thomas Zoth commented that "Goku and Dragon Ball completely revolutionized shōnen manga."[122]

In a Newtype poll from March 2010, Goku was voted the fifth most popular male character from the 1980s.[123] Goku ranked consistently loftier in the Anime Grand Prix poll in the category of "best male graphic symbol" in the belatedly 1980s and early 1990s, appearing seventeenth in the 1987 poll,[124] fifteenth in the 1988 poll,[125] 2d in the 1989 poll,[126] quaternary in the 1990 poll,[127] third in the 1991 poll,[128] fourth in the 1992 poll,[129] thirteenth in 1993 poll,[130] and twelfth in 1994 poll.[131]

In a 1993 character popularity poll for the serial, Weekly Shōnen Jump readers voted Goku second, after his son Gohan.[132] He came in first in the magazine'south 1995 poll,[132] likewise as in a 2004 poll amongst fans of the serial for the volume Dragon Brawl Forever.[133] In a 2005 The Daily Reader article entitled "The Greatest Geek Moving picture Heroes of All Time", Goku is the simply animated character listed, and is ranked tenth.[134] In a survey of i,000 people, conducted by Oricon in 2007, Goku ranked kickoff place equally the "Strongest Manga character of all time."[135]

In the survey "Friendship" developed by rankingjapan.com, in which people chose which anime character they would like as a friend, Goku ranked fifth.[136] In 2000, Goku placed third in an Animax poll of favorite anime characters.[137] In 2011, readers of Guinness Globe Records Gamer's Edition voted Goku every bit the 41st-top video game character of all time.[138] NTT customers voted him equally their third favorite black haired male person anime character in a 2014 poll.[139]

Game designer Hiroshi Matsuyama from CyberConnect2 said that while Goku is an appealing character readers could root for during the manga, he was difficult to chronicle and, thus, instead preferred other characters like Krillin or Bulma. Even so, during the manga's terminal story arc, Matsuyama recalls beingness overjoyed when Goku says that Mr. Satan, a comic relief grapheme with no superextraordinary skills, was the real hero of mankind equally the Earthlings plant him as the saviour of mankind when Buu was nigh win the last fight.[140]

Goku's label has been well received by publications for manga, anime and other media. Anime News Network noted Goku as a expert source of comedy and remarked that after everything he experiences, he all the same remains a naïve graphic symbol.[141] Tim Jones from THEM Anime Reviews noted that Goku is not an omnipotent graphic symbol in the first anime series, unlike Dragon Ball Z, and does not disappear for long periods of time between sagas. Jones likewise liked the mode the series' depict his entire adventures, making him a good chief character.[142]

Rationalmagic.com praised Goku'south innocence every bit one of the funniest parts of the series.[143] In January 2017, Nozawa won two Guinness World Records for her longevity as Goku; she has been the sole voice actor for the role for over 23 years.[144] According to Screen Rant, Goku'south origin story has some similarities to that of Superman.[145]

Despite his predominantly positive reception, Goku has received some negative feedback, in particular for his label in Dragon Ball Super due to how his constant desires for fighting stronger enemies resulted in setting upward a story where all universes could exist destroyed. While Anime Now's Richard Eisenbeis believes Goku is determined to protect his universe, the fact that he does not seemingly care about other loser universes beingness destroyed has been criticized.[146]

Monique Jones from Syfy panned the character'south relationship dynamic with his wife, as well as his perceived incompetency and irresponsibility as a begetter, drawing attending to the "tons of memes and fan chatter about Piccolo actually being the best dad Gohan's ever had".[147] Sam Leach from Anime News Network agreed that fans of the series tend to joke nigh Piccolo being a better paternal figure to Gohan than his actual father, Goku, and felt that Dragon Brawl Super emphasized this more when Piccolo started training him again.[148]

The same site also criticized Goku often being busy in the narrative, almost notably in Frieza's resurrection, as the supporting characters accept some actress scenes only to have their spotlight stolen by Goku and Vegeta. His rematch with Frieza was criticized for how overpowered the grapheme has become and how much back upwards his allies can provide in the battle, ruining the tension the film was supposed to generate.[149] Despite enjoying his rematch with Frieza, DVD Talk expressed similar responses in the handling of these characters.[150]

IGN noted that Goku has a trend to show enemies mercy, including Vegeta, Piccolo, Cell and Moro. His decision to let Cell have a senzu bean without informing his allies in particular was considered to be infamous, which affected Gohan'south confidence and led to his defeat.[151] [152] La Tercera went to call Goku irresponsible and immature to the graphic symbol for helping Moro as a issue of this show of mercy and the consequences.[153] Both Goku and Vegeta were criticized for being too overpowered in Super to the bespeak they steal the serial' spotlight to the supporting cast while their strategies either lack complexity or create a plothole such as the time limit to the fusion Vegetto.[154]
