* Opening 15 of One Piece, "We Go!", has the refrain "Ichi, ni, [[AWorldwidePunomenon sun]][[GratuitousEnglish shine]], yon, WE GO!"

*** Somehow, this includes [[HokutoNoKen Raoh]]'s ''horse'', Kokuoh-go (Black King).
** "Speed"'s first name in Japanese is ''also'' "Go", just to layer another level onto it. ([[UpToEleven Which is why there's]] [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS a "G" monogram on his clothes]].)
*** [[BeyondTheImpossible Go Go Go Go Go Racer?]]
** [[BoBoBo Gogogo-go Go-gogo?]]

** [[FridgeLogic Except that the second series introduces the]] SixthRanger.

** [[IncrediblyLamePun Ha.]]

In Japanese, "Go" means "five". But they are also aware that it means "move forward" or "take action" in English. So when the word is mixed into GratuitousEnglish, or included as GratuitousJapanese, it becomes a pun, having both meanings at once, mostly if there is a FiveManBand.

This could apply to titles, names, and dialog.

** For those who care, "go" doesn't exactly mean "number," though it frequently can be used as such--it's a suffix attached to the name of a vehicle, which frequently do involve numbers but don't have to. E.g. [[{{Gigantor}} Tetsujin Nijuhachi-go]] is literally "Iron Man #28", but CaptainHarlock's ship, the Arcadia, is also referred to as "Arcadia-go" in Japanese.

* In ''DanceDanceRevolution Ultramix 4'', one of the songs is entitled "GO!" -- getting its title from its 5/4 time signature. Throughout the track, a voice can be made out in the background counting off in Japanese.

* The AnimatedAdaptation of ''TeenTitans'' is the TropeNamer. The theme song is by [[PuffyAmiYumi a Japanese rock band]], and ends with the line "One, Two, Three, Four, Go!" counting down the five members.
** In [[TheMovie Trouble in Tokyo]], when Beast Boy sings the Japanese version of the theme (with the lyrics translated to English,) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0Xjmdotzkc he ends the song with "ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, TEEN TITANS!" instead.]]

** One of the {{Spinoff}} comics is called ''TeenTitans, Go!'', which has plenty of {{Anime}} references. And, unlike the regular ''TeenTitans'' comic, is rated all-ages.

** "Speed"'s first name in Japanese is ''also'' "Go", just to layer another level onto it. ([[UpToEleven Which is why there's a "G" monogram on his clothes]].)

** ''{{Rescue Sentai GoGoFive}}'' can be read as "(19)99 Sentai 555[[hottip:*:555 is the emergency phone number in Japan, equivalent to 911 in the US.]]".

** Any season with five qualifies, though there's nothing for ''Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger''.

* Not five, but in ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'', Rei (which means "nothing") pilots Unit 00.

* ''SuperSentai'' seasons love this.
** ''HimitsuSentaiGoranger''
** ''GoseiSentaiDairanger''
** ''RescueSentaiGoGoFive''
** ''GoGoSentaiBoukenger''
** ''TenzouSentaiGoseiger''
** ''KaizokuSentaiGokaiger''
** Unfortunately, there's nothing ten-related about ''KyoryuSentaiZyuranger''.

* In the live-action ''[[MahouSenseiNegima Negima]]'' series (''Negima!!'', for those keeping score), they use it in the opening theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z0paA1zxdE&list=PL470347E1BF05F447&index=4&playnext=1 Pink Generation]].

** ''{{Engine Sentai Go-Onger}}''. The title theme even mimics the trope name. (Ichi, ni, san, shi, Go-onger!)

** ''KyuukyuuSentaiGoGoV'' can be read as "(19)99 Sentai 555[[hottip:*:555 is the emergency phone number in Japan, equivalent to 911 in the US.]]".

* The video game creator {{Suda51}} got his name as a pun on his last name Goichi. "Go" meaning 5 of course, and "ichi" meaning 1.
