In Japan, May 9 was made official a few years ago as ‘Goku Day’; therefore, millions of fans celebrate Dragon Ball.
Fans of the franchise are hoping to receive a new trailer for the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie.
The anime is originally based on the Chinese novel ‘Journey to the West’ and ‘Goku’ on the character of Sun Wu-Kong or the Monkey King.
In the 90’s, the dragon ball saga starring a boy with a monkey’s tail, it quickly became popular among viewers in Latin America; since then, Son Goku’s story and his friends has managed to win the hearts of children of several generations, remaining relevant after more than 30 years of existence.
The character is based on Chinese novel Journey to the Westwhere the character is introduced Sun Wu-Kong, or the Monkey King. Likewise, he initially had many similarities with the character of Goku, even with some of the characters that the Sayajin was getting to know in his adventures.
For this reason, since 2015, Masako Nozawa, Goku’s voice for Japan, announced that ‘Gokuy Day’ would be institutionalized. This decision was made with the intention of paying homage to what is probably the most recognizable anime character in pop culture.
Since his successful comeback with the series Dragon Ball Super, the franchise has achieved a gigantic surge in popularity. In addition, with the recent interest of young people in consuming more anime content, some have chosen to make Dragon Ball their maximum reference.
For this reason, the anime industry has been gaining a greater presence outside of Japan. This is shown from a Statista chart in which it is observed that, only in 2019, the anime registered revenues of more than one billion yen thanks to the overseas marketing of its products. Besides that Dragon Ball is the second best-selling saga in the history of mangabehind only One Piece, which has sold nearly 500 million units worldwide.
The latter is reflected in social networks, as many content creators have seen a large market niche in the cosplay sector, in anime movie reviews, in content around manga, and even in video game.
On the other hand, large companies such as film producers, toy companies and video game developers they have seen in this recent interest an opportunity to realize projects that probably would never have been possible otherwise.
