Is there a letter K naming scheme on Goku's teachers?
I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice this at some point or another but I realised the other day that (In the manga!) Goku's teachers (Kame-Sennin, Karin, Kami & Kaio) have names that begin with K, I'm wondering if this was deliberate even though I'm being ignorant of his other teachers like Son Gohan and Mr Popo.
I have seen some people point out that quite a few of the new characters in Dragon Ball Super appear to have names beginning with Z like Zuno, Zarama, Zeno and Zamasu.
Of course we all know that the series has a penchant for naming schemes but that's usually names being food puns rather than alliteration.

I'd say it's a coincidence. Kami and Kaio mean "god" and "king of worlds" making them pretty high up. So it makes sense that they would be the ones to teach a character like Goku. Also Whis.

Toriyama supports the KKK confirmed.

My mind would leap more towards thinking there's a connection to the "ka-" beginning than strictly the letter K, considering the phonetic nature of the Japanese language, but even then it is probably just a coincidence.
