A special moment for everyone’s favorite Super Saiyan.
9 May might seem like a day like any other, but for some Dragon Ball fans, it’s an opportunity to show their love for one of their favorite heroes: Goku
But how is 9 May associated with Goku? Well, similar to other Japanese holidays like Cat Day or Maid Day, it has to do with the sound of the date. 9 May can be rewritten simply as “5-9”, which is pronounced “go-ku” in Japanese, in other words, Goku Day.
▼ Netizens celebrated the day by drawing pictures of the famed Super Saiyan
in all his powerful brilliance.

he is the Super Saiyan of our hearts.

Good opportunity to share the concepts I did of Goku-chan so far!
Hope you like this female version of Dragon Ball hero, as joyful and cheerful as ever!#悟空の日 #dragonball pic.twitter.com/4RE2KGwq3C
It is no overstatement to say that characters in Dragon Ball have influenced countless people out there in the world, and if the ton of gorgeous drawings — some of them so detailed they’re pictures within pictures — are any indication, the most beloved has got to be Goku.
So happy Goku Day, everyone! And may your own energy-slinging adventures never end.
