Trivia[]
- Son Gokū (孫悟空) is the Japanese on’yomi rendering for Sun Wukong, the iconic legendary character from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West known as the Monkey King and is also used for the character with the same name from the Dragon Ball series. Kishimoto was mainly inspired to create Son based on the aforementioned version of Sun Wukong/Son Gokū, which is referenced in its design resembling the Ōzaru form, the inherited Dragon Ball that has four stars in it, and having a master named Rōshi.[7] Besides the name, Son is also based on several other references to the original version of Sun Wukong/Son Gokū, which includes:
- The horns on its forehead are modelled after Wukong’s diadem.
- “Handsome Monkey King” (美猿王, Bien’ō) and “Great Sage Equalling Heaven” (斉天大聖, Seiten Taisei) are both titles that Wukong bears, though the former is written with a different character for “monkey” than from the Chinese version of the title (originally written as “美猴王”) instead.
- The Water Screen Cave (水簾洞, Suirendō) is the cave where Wukong was born on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit (花果山, Kakazan).
- When Naruto met Son within Rōshi, it was sealed to a giant stone, which reflects the mountain under which the original Wukong was sealed.
- A Dharma name (法号, hōgō) can be one of two things. It can be the name given to a newly ordained Buddhist monk or nun, or it can be the posthumous name given to deceased people according to the Buddhist faith.
- The fur on its chin and on the top of its back resembles Rōshi’s beard and hairstyle.
Quotes[]
