Goku
Goku is the main protagonist of Akira Toriyama’s *Dragon Ball* series, debuting in 1984. As a Saiyan warrior, he’s instantly recognizable by his orange gi, spiky black hair, and transformative states like Super Saiyan, which helped define the shonen anime genre’s visual and narrative style. Fans return to Goku for his embodiment of perseverance and growth, with his signature Kamehameha wave serving as a cultural touchstone in cosplay, fan art, and competitive gaming. His role in *Dragon Ball*’s expansive universe has inspired a dedicated global community that celebrates his journey from a spirited child to an iconic hero.
