This is why Nozawa's Goku is the best one, because of her delivery, adding little eccentricities to his speech patterns that give him layers. Nobody does it better (makes me feel sad for the rest...).

Even though Toei has gotten the credit for inventing the phrase, Nozawa revealed that it was in fact this incident that created "Ossu! Ora Goku!"


Now people can properly credit Nozawa for creating it instead of obvious conclusion big name company. Thank you for confirming this, Nozawa.

Can the article title be reworded in a different way as to not almost give me a heart attack?

Thanks for linking to my article on Goku's "Ossu!" It's such an iconic phrase, and I'm honored to have my work mentioned in the same breath as Nozawa-san's.

This news comes at the perfect time, as I'm in the midst of writing Dragon Ball Culture Volume 7: Anime, which reveals the full cultural origin of the anime. This includes Goku's anime adaptation by Nozawa-san compared to the manga. Likewise why she is such an important part of Goku's personality and the way we perceive him to this day. Her performance is so iconic that even Toriyama-sensei thinks of Nozawa-san's voice as Goku's voice when he writes Goku's dialogue.

Thank you for writing this article, Jennifer!

Guys, stop it!

Expecting a VA's death just due to their age alone is being ghoulish. Nozawa is still very much in good spirits and is still a proactive member of the Japanese entertainment industry. Plus, the people of Japan consider her a national treasure.

How about we be thankful that she is still with us and gifting us with her talents?
