I'm not sure Kelamis sounded like Nozawa, but he was a pretty great Goku, the best one speaking english as far as i'm concerned.

I always thought the brazillian Kaio (1:19, 2:04) sounded damn close to Yanami..
Especially when he goes "Gokuuu!", but i'm not finding a clip of that now.

I don't know the name of the actor, but Oolong in the Russian dub sounds incredibly close to Naoki Tatsuta.

I mean, Sean might have portrayed Goku as Superman, but Kelamis honestly nailed the "Big kid impression". Especially his comedic portrayals in Buu Arc really remindse for Nozawa

The only time i recall Kelamis sounding like Nozawa was when he screamed "Kaio-Ken" in the second movie. Most of the time he sounded more like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo or something.

If he had used his Rolf voice from Ed, Edd, n Eddy then he would have sounded pretty close to her, but unfortunately FUNi told him to imitate Ian Corlett's Goku, so he instead went with some awkward teenage Canadian stoner voice.
Yeah agreed. I wouldn't really put in in this category it was a one off incident.
