Sean Schemmel. Can anyone on Earth scream like this man?

Sean Schemmel, even before Kai. I'm a goddamn slut for that voice.

Edit: The guy who does Goku's voice for DBZ Abridged comes as a close second. (I can't remember his name for some reason...)

MasakoX? Unless you mean his real name, cuz I have no idea what that is. ^_^;

I can't believe I haven't weighed in on this one yet. Hmm...I'd have to say I'm pretty evenly split between Nozawa and Schemmel for adult Goku, and Nozawa and Nadolny for young Goku. Both actresses really do great at showing how adorable Goku can be in his youth, as well as his angrier combat moments. On Nozawa and Schemmel though, they both have drawbacks. Even though I've gotten used to Nozawa's sound for adult Goku, and she really does differentiate it nicely from her earlier work, it's still a tad off really - even if it is in a really endearing way. At the same time though, while Schemmel is a little more fitting tone-wise at least, the quality of his work has varied a lot more than Nozawa's has. It's forgivable IMO given how new he was to it all when he started out, but that doesn't change the fact that most of his early work is nigh unlistenable.

I really don't remember what the Ocean Goku's were like to really judge them. Hell, I only know they had two of them because of the comments of others.

Sean Schemmel, quite easily, though I'd put Ian Corlett second.

As far as Kid Goku goes, Setphanie Nadolny. I can't even imagine Kid Goku with any other voice.

Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Curious on how Nozawa would sound had she deepen the voice of Goku?

MasakoX's real name is Lawrence Simpson, for what it's worth. :wink:
