Who is Son Goku?

Son Goku is the Saiyan-born hero of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball franchise, raised on Earth after being sent from his home planet as an infant. He grows into a martial arts prodigy whose adventures span Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball Super.

Debuting in Ranma 1/2 #13 in 1999 under the creative hands of Rumiko Takahashi and Gerard Jones, this Son Goku is a Copper/Modern Age figure published by Viz whose presence stretches across more than two decades of manga-influenced comics. With 26 catalogued appearances spanning series including Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball Super, he's woven into some of the most beloved titles Viz has brought to Western readers. Along the way he shares the page with a remarkable constellation of characters β€” Bulma, Vegeta IV, Kuririn, Kame-Sen'nin, and Oolong among them β€” making for genuinely exciting company. For fans tracing the full breadth of Viz's Dragon Ball publishing history, following Son Goku through the catalog is a rewarding journey.
