Years back, the Japanese Anniversary Association that today, May 8th, would be declared Goku Day in honor of the Dragon Ball protagonist who has existed under the pen of Akira Toriyama thanks in part to a clever reference and fans are paying lip service via social media to the Saiyan brawler. The JAA noted that the numbers “5 and 9” can be pronounced as “Go” and “Ku” and thus May 8th our time, May 9th in Japan, has become the official day for the Super Saiyan warrior that has become one of the most popular characters in the world of anime!

Reminder That Goku Is In Fact A Father
Didn’t have time to draw anything new, so I’ll repost a few pieces that share my love for dad Goku. His relationship with Gohan is one of my favorite parts of the series.#GokuDay#悟空の日#ドラゴンボール pic.twitter.com/HLAUi6kb23
