Let's just completely disregard the Evolution dub...
With all the advertisements and events Goku has appeared in, have anyone other than Nozawa ever been used for his voice, or has it just been her, going strong for 28 years?

I mean, you might loosely be able to count Captain Ginyu's two voice actors (for DBZ and for Kai) when Ginyu took over Goku's body. Other than that, no.
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

Re: Has anyone other than Nozawa ever voiced Goku in Japan?
I get the impression that Nozawa is so proud, enthusiastic and protective of the role, that images of her aggressively hunting down the culprits come to mind when I imagine what would happen if the role was ever voiced by anyone else.
In terms of TV advertisements or third party merchandise stuff, it's possible that on occasion she was either mimicked or replaced. Fortunately for you, you're lucky in that there's a couple of guys on this forum with a knowledge exhaustive enough to give an answer. If anyone knows, the staff or Kei17 do.

Nope. Pretty amazing really, when you think about it.

Re: Has anyone other than Nozawa ever voiced Goku in Japan?
You really do have to admire Nozawa for her commitment to the role. After 28 years of being the only Japanese voice for Goku, she has yet to show any signs of stopping.
Re: Has anyone other than Nozawa ever voiced Goku in Japan?
No, and none should. you know, i can accept any characters having other VA -if it was good, of course- but not Goku, he's a special case.

Kappei Yamaguchi played Goku in the Dragonball Evolution dub. Does that count?
EDIT: Oops, I just saw the bit in the first post. Haha.
One commercial I wish that was around was the DRAGONBALL SUPAH POWAH DESK. This played during the end of Z I think, and it had Nozawa shouting about the SUPAH POWER DESK!!

Not the song, but the concept of advertising a desk that way.
