Speaking of the anime "Dragon Ball", it has to be said that the protagonist Goku's voice actor: Masako Nozawa, is actually eighty-two years old this year. Since the "Dragon Ball" anime aired in 1986, he has been the voice of the protagonist Son Goku, and then including Goku's two sons Goku, Goten, Goku's father Badak, Dales, Black Goku, all in all, the old Sun family and people like the old Sun family, Masako Nozawa are all inclusive.
Recently, she was awarded an award by the relevant departments in Japan, and her colleagues in the industry congratulated her.
This is a "children's well-being cultural award" set up by the relevant part of Japan for social people who contribute to the healthy growth of children, and "Dragon Ball" has been serialized since it has accompanied generations of children to grow up, and the impact on children in Japan and even the world is unprecedented, and in the past thirty years, Dragon Ball has affected the childhood of at least three generations.
The same animated version of "Dragon Ball" is also the childhood friend of many children, accompanying them to grow up, and Masako Nozawa really deserves this award.
It is worth mentioning that this award belongs to one of the "Special Awards of the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan", which is subordinate to the government's approach, and can be said to be very high-level
Many people may wonder why Goku's voice actor was an elderly grandmother, who was actually Masako Nozawa, who was hand-picked by Akira Toriyama at the time, and in 1986, Dragon Ball was animated! The popularity of Akira Toriyama's manga of the same name made the producers dare not slacken off, and in order to find a voice that could interpret the soul of Monkey King, Akira Toriyama and Toei chose Masako Nozawa, who has a wealth of experience
Although she was 50 years old at the time. Dubbing 12-year-old Goku with a 50-year-old voice is not a challenge that ordinary people dare to accept. What she didn't expect, however, was that the job would accompany her for the rest of her life
Masako Nozawa's Guinness Book of Records for the longest dubbing time for the same character in the game" and "the longest active voice actor as a voice actor in the game"
In the Dragon Ball z stage, due to the appearance of Goku and Goku, the producers once wanted to add new voice actors, but because Masako Nozawa's Goku was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he finally had to continue to choose Masako Nozawa as the voice of the family of three.
Later, whether it is Badak, Darius, or Black Sky in the theatrical version, the producers, including Akira Toriyama, will not consider changing voice actors at all, because they know that no one will like sounds other than Masako Nozawa
Since 2015, Japan has set 5.9 days of each year as the Goku Day, and every year on this day, Ms. Masako Nozawa will be invited to attend, and on that day, Masako Nozawa will personally present the award to Goku, and the same Goku will personally give her 59 more carnations as a thank you, thank you to Akira Toriyama, the father of Dragon Ball, and also thank Ms. Masako Nozawa, the mother of Dragon Ball
"For me, Goku is my doppelganger. He is the whole of my career. In the future, we will support each other and grow all the way. --Masako Nozawa
