↑In the original Weekly Shōnen Jump 1988 No. 46 serialization of chapter 196, Gohan states that he is three years old. The title page of the very next chapter gives his age as "four years old", and his age in chapter 196 was changed to match in the 17th tankōbon in May of the following year. With the setting already established as "five years" after Goku's reunion with Chi-Chi at the Tenka'ichi Budōkai, Gohan could not be made much older than he already was; nevertheless, he was made as old as was biologically possible, which is four. All official Japanese adaptations and publications, including the television series, follow this change.
