4	Masako Nozawa, a voice actress born October 25, 1936 in Tokyo, is most famous as Son Goku (and all other males in Goku's family, except for Raditz), in the ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise. She usually played the AdorablyPrecociousChild during most of her career. These days, she plays usually the CoolOldLady or mother, though, as well as the {{Narrator}}...

6	But for the most part, it would be reprising [[Franchise/DragonBall Goku]], the role that pretty much established herself as one of the ''legendary'' voice actors in the business. She has stated that [[RoleReprise she will continue to reprise Goku and family in any Dragon Ball media]] [[{{Determinator}} until her death]] (considering ''Franchise/DragonBall'''s [[CashCowFranchise status]], that is one hell of a ballsy move for someone her age). As a result of this she's earned two Literature/GuinnessWorldRecords: after the release of ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse2'', she was honored as the "voice actor who voiced the same character in a video game for the longest period" and "longest video game voice acting career." She was certified on October 25, 2016, at which point she had voiced Goku in ''Dragon Ball'' video games for 23 years and 218 days.
