Wow, he has an asteroid belt named after him. Quite an achievement.

Carlos Newton is a Dragonball fan. So much that he lists his personal fighting style, a mix of Jujutsu, Judo, and Wrestling, as "Dragonball Jiujitsu."

He doesn't fight professionally that often anymore. Last time he fought was when he was in Australia in July of this year at an Impact FC event.

His record is nearly half and half, with 29 fights and 15 wins.

You can read more about him on Wikipedia.

I should really do a Sparking Turtle tribute to this guy.

We need more celebrities to confess their love for DragonBall. I know there has to be more than these two guys.

Come on, Chuck Norris. Let's get it out already.

I love Dragonball.

There's Jacky Chan, of course, and all the other people featured in the "I Love DragonBall" section of the Shenlong Times. Jacky Chan's probably the only one of those well known outside Japan though, except for maybe SMAP.

[Jodaku]

Wow, just when I think Nadal couldn't be any more awesome... Nadal has been one of my favourite sportsmen for the past few years and Dragonball being Dragonball, having the two even remotely related is a very awesome thing.

Hah on Wiki it says Carlos Newton's post-fight celebration is a Kamehameha wave :p. Nice nice.

If you could count mangaka as famous people, then Kishimoto and Oda would fit into that category.

How about James Marsters?
He's the only one of the DBE cast who had a genuine interest in DragonBall as far as I know XD

I wouldn't be sure, but we all know that every.single.one.of.their.fans.do.


Searching "Linkin Park DBZ" will result in your computer pulling a gun and shooting itself.

I think I remember reading that Nami Tamaki(J-Pop star) likes Dragon Ball too.

[Piccolo Daimao]

Isn't Masi Oka, the actor who played Hiro in Heroes, a fan of Dragon Ball? He mentioned reading Shônen Jump as a child in a section of a Heroes graphic novel, and once compared Future Hiro to Future Trunks, both time travellers who have a sword.

Lol, of course Jackie Chan likes Dragonball. Goku is a copy combo of Jakie Chan himself and Superman!

(edit, actually I think Goku is also based on this character: http://www.china-on-site.com/monkey.php )

He's based on Wukong but personality wise they aren't very similar.
