Gohan's Symbol

Post by Alucard » Fri May 05, 2006 7:08 pm

I've always wondered what does Gohan's symbol (the one that we see on the first few episodes of DBZ) means. I would really appreciate it if someone would tell me.

For those of you who don't know, it's this symbol:

Thank you in advance. :)

A bit off topic- they have DBZ in Israel? :shock:

I've always been told it means youth, but I doubt it nowadays.

It's the symbol "Son" as in Son Gohan and Son Goku, as far as I know. I'm basing this off from what I see in my Manga guides, even though I have no idea how to read Japanese. :?

孫 The "Son" in "Son Gohan".

Means Grandchild.
Where's the beef?

Thanks for all of your replies.

Cyberman: Yeah, we do have DBZ/DBGT in Israel, but with lame Hebrew dubbing, although I think it's more accurate than the American one.
