Copied names

[sdrocker12345]

Well, for all those who watch dragon ball z too,
The four tails name is SON GOKU???
and the jinchuriki's name is MASTER ROSHI.
It looks obvious that kishimoto copied the names from dragon ball z.
Just what in the world was he thinking??

You're late.

 

[Katkot]

He can't find new ideas so he started to copy from dbz

:devil:??????????

well dude ... the 4 tails reminds him of the affection that goku had for the 4 stars dragon ball and the master roshi , was the one that teached goku the basis of the martial arts.

DBZ was one of Kishi's main influences and he wanted to pay homage to it by giving those characters those specific names... Makes sense considering that Son Goku is a giant, powerful monkey... Sort of reminds you of something, doesn't it?

 

[2nd hokage]

Yup just paying respect to something that inspired him.

Goku and Roshi were an obvious reference to Dragon Ball. Four Tails like the Four star Dragonball as well.
