Nozawa wins Guinness Record for Goku

It may be more suitable for the Video Game section, but wasn't 100% sure.

Apparently Nozawa has been wanting to get a Guinness award for a while, so nice to see she finally got it!

Congratulations! Nozawa Masako. The one true voice of Son Gokuu. I've said it many times already, but she deserves all the recognition and love she gets.

23 years is a long damn time (and that's on top of her massive workload for the anime!). I couldn't even fathom being able to stay that dedicated to a role or a series for so long. But here she is, putting out great work to this day. Congratulations, indeed.

Congrats to Ms. Nozawa!

I read a while back about her wanting to make it into Guinness; happy it came true for her.

Nozawa's a legend, though I prefer Schemmel.

Congratulations Nozawa-sama!!
While we're at it, somebody give her an Oscar for her flawless performance as Goku Black.

Thank you.

...So now we have two Goku VA's in the GWR, & both for video games. XD

Nozawa-san totally deserves it. Goku aside, she has a bunch of win on her BTVA profile even just in general. Doug, Tetsuro, Merryweather, Pidge..pretty talented. & being a legacy character in video games is awesome. We have legacy VAs over here as well, but not so much in video games as they are lower-paid (in Japan they are the highest paid VO)

Hey, if Conroy & Hamill can do it...On that note, it's pretty awesome to have a Japanese (or really any non-English) performer in this high-profile of spotlight. I really wish we had more.

Protip: anyone chosen by the people who work on a show are "true" voices of the character. Jason Lowenberg, Hector Indriago, Yasuyuki Kase, Minoru Inaba, Tessho Genda, Troy Baker, Roberto Inonas - all Batman, as "true" as Kevin Conroy.

This, this right now. :D

Congratulations, Ms. Nozawa! It's always so nice to see familiar franchises and, in this case, actors, get recognition in something as major as Guinness.

Wow! The last person who held that record was Ed Boon for voicing Mortal Kombat's Scorpion.
Congrats!
