Why Goku Day is celebrated
Goku Day is a special occasion dedicated to the legendary Dragon Ball character, Goku, created by Akira Toriyama. The date of May 9 was established as the official day of celebrations around the world because in Japanese the numbers 5 and 9 (equivalent to the date 5/9, that is, May 9 in Latin American countries ) are pronounced phonetically as “go” and “ku”, words that together have a similar sound to “Goku”, the name of the beloved character. Although the celebration already existed on social networks, It was made official in 2015 by the Japan Anniversary Associationafter receiving numerous requests from the public and TOEI Animation, the studio behind the successful anime.
