Each month, Toyotarō provides a drawing of a Dragon Ball character — as well as an accompanying comment — on the official Japanese Dragon Ball website. Following up on the wealth of characters already drawn, for his May 2020 entry, Toyotarō has contributed a new image of Ikose and Idasa:

Ikose & Idasa

The brothers who fought against Trunks and Goten at the 25th Tenka’ichi Budōkai. At any rate, I like their names.

Trunks (age 8) takes on Idasa (age 15), while Son Goten (age 7) takes on Ikose (age 14), in the Youth Division of the 25th Tenka’ichi Budōkai, each handily beating their significantly-older and brattier opponents. Idasa takes his name from dasai, meaning unfashionable or unhip, while Ikose takes his name from sekoi, meaning petty or mean-spirited.

This drawing and comment set has been added to the respective page in our “Translations” archive.
