Trivia[]

  • MasakoX's username is based on Japanese voice actress Masako Nozawa who, like MasakoX himself, voices Goku and Gohan.
  • Masako's initial casting as both Goku and Master Roshi mirrors that of the Ocean dub of Dragon Ball Z that he grew up with, as Ian Corlett and Peter Kelamis played both characters during the Saiyan and Namek sagas respectively.
    • Rumors say that MasakoX based his Goku's voice of not only Ian but also Peter and Kirby
    • In the Dragon Ball Z Abridged Creator Commentary series, Lanipator and KaiserNeko revealed that the changeover of Master Roshi's voice actor from MasakoX to Lanipator was due to the need for the "old prospector laugh", made famous by Mike McFarland's performance in the Funimation dub, for There's Something About Maron. As MasakoX could not adequately perform the laugh, he agreed to relinquishing the role to Lanipator, who has maintained the role ever since.
  • MasakoX has a father and an older brother; they don't talk to him due to his love of [redacted].

  • In MasakoX's video review on episode 73 of Dragon Ball Super, he ended up admitting that he had a crush on Videl when he was 15 years old.
  • His character Paata actually originated before even the Pathfinder Campaign and Xenoverse 2 since MasakoX had already created him in an old Dragon Ball DND Campaign with his friends Vegeta3986 and Lioncore years before doing abridged series.
  • He reprised his role of Goku in ScrewAttack's Death Battle series where Goku fought against Superman in two separate fights, as well as the advertisement for another episode.
  • MasakoX along with LittleKuriboh did a crossover review with internet reviewer Nostalgia Critic on the movie "Dragonball Evolution". He also portrayed Goku in the live-action gag using his Goku voice from DBZA.
  • He has also made his own slice-of-life Dragon Ball fan series parody called Dragon Ball R&R which is based around the concept of Raditz turning good and stars him and his daughter Ranch.
