- I grew up with Dragon Ball in Japanese so Masako Nozawa is my Goku. She's such a huge part of the anime industry when it was just beginning and I wanted to share her story.

When she goes, Dragon Ball truly ends.
It already ended. Toriyama's dead
I agree despite Toriyama''s death at age 68 she's like 85+ years old so as soon as she dies Dragon ball may END in Japan BUT for the USA dubs of Dragon ball Z/super the current actor isn't even in HIS mid 50's.
@@veghesther3204 japan has proven again and again that they dont care about US community or atleast prioritizes japan not just in dragon ball but anime in general. So when japan stop caring about dragon ball they will stop dragon ball
She has a understudy.
They can still get a new voice cast
Just imagine being a kid that says "My grandma is Goku, Gohan and Goten!" That's got to be the coolest thing ever!❤
Bardock, Turles, and black too
@@jahar1gaming I know and Turles & Goku Black
Imagine bullying a kid and her them say “Well, my Grandma is Goku, Gohan, AND Goten”😭
And Bardock, and Turles, and Goku Black, and Goku jr
@@perparimbytyci6953 and ultraman taro
“My Grandma will kick your ass!”
"My dad is stronger than your dad"
"My grandma is stronger than your dad"
The definitive voice of Goku. Period.
Masako Nozawa is the Japanese June Foray, if you don’t know who June Foray is she was the original voice actor of Granny from the looney tunes she voiced this character for so many years until her passing that’s why both Masako and June are both similar.
She also did a lot of boy’s voices over the years like Nozawa, the closest she got to voicing a grown man was Pogo Possum.
Just like she voiced Rocky the Squirrel until her death
The GOAT herself, is kinda insane to think she voiced Goku from kid to grown up and so with Gohan and Goten, in pretty much all other countries as far I know, Adult Goku and Kid Goku are always play by different actors, but she played all by herself, indeed this woman is a legend.
France tried the same thing with their Kid Goku voice actress, Brigitte Lecordier. She voiced adult Goku in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai but when Raditz showed up, they switched to a male voice actor.
Masako Nozawa also voiced Bardock, Future Gohan, Goku Jr from Dragon Ball GT, Goku Black and Xeno Goku from Super Dragon Ball Heroes
She voiced so many character especially on Super Dragon Ball Heroes
Learning about the life of people older than 80 is a literal history lesson.
She is a world treasure.
Always watched Dragon Ball in Japanese so she is associated with Goku for me. Her performance with Goku is great and it has defined the character for many
Masako: The sweet grandma
Sean: The angry uncle
for Masako yes indeed, but for Sean, yeah that's perfect XD
" _Osu! Ora Goku!_ " ✋😁
I grew up watching Naruto. Junko Takeuchi's voice never ages. I consider Masako Nozawa voicing Goku as a testament on her great voicing talent. Easily my two greatest long-running main characters that were voiced by professional voice acting ladies that still got it within them as they age over time.

I'm worried she doesn't have a successor. I was so sad when Tsuru Hiromi passed and that was in 2017. Many others have passed too since, a lot of whom are younger than Nozawa herself.
I just bought the entire DBZ Blu Ray collection for 300 euro. With the Original japanese score/Funimation Dub and English dub with japanese score. In a very good format, no wide screen but remastered very well. I'm watching it in Japanese right no, for the 1st time... It's so different😮 I grew up with the faclouner dub but the japanese score is superior. When trunks cuts frieza in half, that music... It's super!
Protect Masako Nozawa-San at all cost.
Indeed, she has not been able to hide her age-related decline over the past few years. But her performance at the time of the Z broadcast was truly god like..
What a great story. Masako Nozawa is a legend.
As much as I don't think her voice fits goku especially the screaming I still respect the hell out of this woman and her hard work and skill
thanks for making this, i always wanted to know about her, and u were the first one to give me knowledage about her
She so amazing and I hope her the best in everything she does.
Plus, my friend Reese loves her voice☺️
Thanks for all that you do🎉
She is the goat❤
Thank You Toriyama sensei...
Wow.
The day we lose Nozawa will be a sad one...
❤❤
That ending comment 😢
Personally I think they should’ve got somebody different to voice Gohan and Bardock. But hey, props to her for voicing these characters for this long
So that's what Goku was saying in the opening of DBZ Butoden for the SNES. ua-cam.com/video/gpBEpk4ChoI/v-deo.html
Yeah, and Goku didn't notice everything..
osh orewa Goku ... !
Good thing they got Sean Schemmel in the english dub. If they had to get someone who sounded like the english equivalent of Masako Nozawa, they'd have to get Tony Hale.
I hope she get to meet Sean Schumel the English dub voice actor.
They did meet each other. Back in 2013 ua-cam.com/video/zZuPYPWSdfs/v-deo.htmlsi=q0yFgf8XMZ_NpRXn
They did ua-cam.com/video/xGqtvJfMW38/v-deo.html
she did
i really dislike that dude
@@LegendaryHeroponRiki most do
She is Goku. My ears are hurting if im forced to watch or play anything from DBZ in the Englisch Version. The German version is fine but we never get the games dubbed
I grew up with the portuguese dub, where goku is voiced by a man from DB to Super, so in anime even if it takes years I'll wait for the portuguese Dub, but on videogames where that isn't an option I have to changed the voices to english, the japanese dub just doesn't sound right for what I'm used to
First
This is my first time like the power.
I love how you say "we know very little about her. So today I want to change that."
Nothing will change. You have presented no new information and this is just more gay clickbait.
Her voice is terrible for the character and I think even she knows that
It's funny how I've always wondered why she was chosen to be Goku's voice actor. Couldn't they find a suitable voice actor in all of Japan? To make matters worse, she voiced not only Goku but also Gohan and Goten. I watch the dubbed version, but I've seen clips of Dragon Ball where she is screaming, and it's just terrible. I don't understand how she was chosen or why Dragon Ball fans like her. Personally, I prefer Sean's version of Dragon Ball.
Before you bitxh about something, its just my opinion
And your opinions don't matter. 🤭
But still, I can't imagine anyone else voicing goku in japanese. Sean to me sounds a bit cartoonish probably due to the time it was dubbed in.
Personally, I prefer Mario Castañeda since he sounds young yet experienced. Spanish is my favorite as of far even if it's a bit iffy in some parts
Lol terrible is a strong word given the Malaysian dub 😂. 2:04 explains it. Probably pure of heart for the voice.
I’ll only agree with u bc her voice doesn’t suit adult Goku but she does an amazing job with kid Goku and Gohan, and goten
I believe it was Toriyama himself that insisted that she continue voicing late teen/adult Goku specifically because she fit his vision of what Goku would sound like. It's unconventional and I didn't like it either when I first watched it subbed, but her voice has grown on me a lot.
