The History of Dragon Ball in Every Country

India got its first taste of DBZ series via the toonami slots on Cartoon Network in early 2001. It was telecast on the weekends in the 5pm slot and in the late-night slot on Cartoon Network. The Ocean dub's first 53 episodes ran on repeat for quite a while before around 2004 when the funimation dub took over and telecast the remaining episodes. Dragonball was never telecast in India.

Dragon Ball originally aired on Cartoon Network India in 2009/2010 dubbed in Hindi, but from what I've heard it wasn't very successful. According to one fan in this Facebook group Cartoon Network lost money from Dragon Ball's poor performance, which led to them not airing the Kid Boo arc. Dragon Ball Z returned in 2016 though, and presumably the remaining episodes then aired.

Thankfully Dragon Ball is getting another shot in India. Its airing on Cartoon Network every Sunday from 1:30pm-4pm and weekdays from 9pm-9:45pm not only with a new Hindi dub, but also dubs in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. They're currently in the middle of the Red Ribbon Army arc I believe.

Singapore

Dragonball first premiered some time in the 90s on Channel 8 with the Mandarin dub (not sure if it was from Taiwan or mainland). Channel 8 was the most watched Chinese channel in Singapore.
In the year 2000 the channel STV12 was rebranded as "Central" and Central was split into three strands "Kids Central", "Vasantham Central" and "Arts Central". Dragonball Z aired on Kids Central Saturday mornings at 9am with the Funimation dub.
Dragonball repremiered in 2006 on Animax, but with an English dub recorded in Southeast Asia.
In the 2010s there was also Toonami Asia, which aired the Funimation dub of Dragonball Z, the Bang Zoom dub of Dragon Ball Super. Cartoon Network in the region also aired the Funimation dub of Dragonball Kai around this time.

Very curious about this.

Its a lost dub (https://lostmediawiki.com/Dragon_Ball_% ... s;_2006%29). I didnt see it, but it aired on Animax Asia between 2006 and 2008.

Dragon Ball is a 153-episode anime adaptation of Akira Toriyama's manga series of the same name by Toei Animation that ran on Fuji TV between 1986 and 1989. The series has been dubbed into English multiple times, most notably in 2001 by the Flower Mound, Texas-based Funimation Productions and in 2003 by Blue Water Studios in Calgary, Alberta.

In July 2006, the South East Asian Animax affiliates began running Dragon Ball with a new English dub. Produced in Hong Kong, the dub featured Andrea Kwan as Goku and young Chi-Chi, David Bridges as Master Roshi, Tenshinhan, and teenage Goku, as well as other characters, with Scott Evans playing Yamcha.

The only footage of this version of Dragon Ball to surface online comes from a demo reel posted by Russell Wait, who played General Blue, Tenshinhan, and King Piccolo in this dub.
