Favorite Masako Nozawa Character Voice?

Post by SPRSYJN » Thu May 14, 2015 12:06 pm

Masako Nozawa provides a lot of voices for the franchise. Is there a character, or version of a character that Nozawa provides the voice for that you're particularly fond of?

In case you need a hand with your memory!:

Young Goku
Adult Goku
Any particular SSJ Form of Goku
Tullece
Bardock
Toddler Gohan
Child Gohan
Teen Gohan
Adult Gohan
Any particular SSJ Form of Gohan
Future Gohan
Saiyaman
Goten
Goten from GT?

Fusions are also viable options:
Vegito
Gogeta
Gotenks

Am I missing any?

I love Nozawa's Goten and Young Goku. They sound so adorable, pure and innocent. :D

She can do the polar opposite so well, too. Tullece and Bardock are my personal favorites.

I guess it would have to be Goku and Gohan as adults, because them talking to each other in the Buu arc is such a great, direct example of how versatile she is. They are played so differently. Goku and Gohan, as a whole, don't spend a lot of time together in the series, so it's not as readily apparent in the Saiyan or Cell arcs, where they do appear on screen together enough, but are dealing with direct threats and not actually engaging one another.

I love Nozawa's SSJ4 Goku. I'd say I pretty much enjoy all the characters she plays.

Bardock and T-u-r-l-e-s, for sure. Love her "dark" voice for them.

Guilmon. :D

Okay, but in all seriousness, I adore her Goten voice the most. She really brings out how sweet and innocent he is.

Don't you mean you love her dark voice for them? :lol:

Probably (adult) Goku just because it's the character I'm most used to hearing and the one I normally associate Nozawa with; I don't mind her voice in any of the characters she plays though, except maybe Bardock.

Yes. Gotan. He appeared in Dragon Ball Budokai 2 and Dragon Ball Heroes. It is cool to hear Nozawa's voice mixed with Mark's voice actor.

Young Goku is my favorite, with Goten as a close second. They're both so cute!

I'm going to have to say young Goku and young Goten as well, along with young Gohan. She pulls off cute very well. Though, I love her in every role she's in. As B said, she's versatile.

I'm curious, is there something off with Kid Gohan? I do agree that Goten and Kid Goku were extremely cute and carefree. Kid Gohan was kind of a crybaby and after that he became so serious.

Sure,I might have just answered my own question but I would like to hear what you think.

Also I vote for the Kid Version of the Goku Family and Goku in Z and old videogames. Because I feel Nozawa sounded more masculine and like a guy. And while I dont agree with Rocketman her once extremely clean and awesome Kamehamehas are now KA...ME...HA...ME...BWAHK!

Child Son family all day.

I appreciate our American actresses for what they are (less for Gohan's), but I started Dragon Ball from episode 1 on the blue brick set, in OG language, and WOW! Sun Wukong's voice is perfect!! Can't wait till I get Z!
Will love hearing Gohan's properly. I've seen the 2008 special, and I like Goten's voice as well. She is very good, it's all similar I suppose, but it is varied enough to differentiate while keeping them all in the same family.
It's even better than hearing Sabat between all the characters

B-But, guys... According to YouTube, her voices all sound the same! Even the characters she didn't voice all sound the same. :mrgreen:

But seriously, I like her child and adult Goku and Tullece quite a bit. Her Goku voice is the first thing that pops into my mind when I see or hear the words "Dragon Ball." That's how much of an impression her performance has left on me over the years.

Her Bardock is pretty cool, too.
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.
