To avoid being busted for necroposting, I've revived this thread in a new and not-so-improved form.
Anyways, to kick it off, I can't believe it took me so long to realise this.
As confirmed in interviews, the popular Japanese rock singer, Gackt, mimicked the Super Saiyan hair when recording the PV (promotional video / music video) for his song "Vanilla".
Proof?

I always thought so whenever I watched that thing. No really, I did! Well, okay not in that exact way, but I do remember thinking the first time I saw it, "Hey! Gackt's got SSJ hair!"

Hehe, in Phantasy Star Online there also is a character class which can be given a very SSJ-esque haircut. XD

An issue of the Ranma 1/2 manga makes a couple of Dragonball references. Don't recall exactly where, though.
The create-a-character mode in the Smackdown series regularly has Goku's Super Saiyan haircut.
"In fact, the United States Alf Fanfiction Department has issued notices offering high paying jobs for more Alf fanfiction, which they believe could immediately resolve countless global issues such as world hunger."

Yeah, in WWE Day of Reckoning on Gamecube there's a hairstyle called "Super" that's Gokuu's Super hairstyle.

I found my recordings from a recent Spring of Trivia which recounts how Nozawa Masako once called her young relative's school acquaintance (sp?) and said "Hi I'm Goku".
I'll try to post it this weekend.

I actually read that that was Megumi Hayashibara's nephew. It was in her biographic manga about her experiences getting into the voice acting business. And that she had done it as a favour to Hayashibara to get her nephew to eat his vegetables, since Hayashibara always was having trouble convincing him. Or perhaps that's a different incident? Probably Nozawa's done it as a favour to many people over the years.

I wouldn't doubt she's done it for a few people. In the end it wasn't just the one boy, it was his entire circle of classmates.
The whole segment was awesome. The story was retold by Kaiousama's VA with the original bg music playing.

I have it. I think I sent some of my files to Saiya. It was funny as hell.

That has to be the awesomest thing I've ever heard of. It'd be like getting a phone call from Optimus Prime or something

In Eiichiro Oda's one-shot book ''Wanted!'', in the story ''A Future Present from God'', there's someone in the crowds wearing an exact replica of Goku's clothing, though with longer sleeves, and blonde SSJ-esque hair. (Page 64).
Yes. I must have been very bored.
