For those of you who don't seem to understand where the Japanese people are inspired in their manga, Son Goku (Goku would be his first name, Son his family name) is a direct reference to one of the main characters in a 16th century Chinese novel called 'Journey to the West.'

Kishi isn't a dragonball Z fan, but rather a fan of ancient Chinese literature, inspired by it, just like Akira Toriyama, who created DBZ. It's no different than being inspired by Shakespear.
Stop with the whole 'Kishi is ripping IP from other manga' BS. You kids sound ridiculously stupid.
