Types of Name Spellings
An in-progress list of character names from across the Dragon Ball universe (all series, movies, specials, etc.) is provided below. The following name spellings and additional categories are provided:
- Japanese: Character names arranged by their spelling in Japanese alphabetical order
- Romanization: A raw romanization/transliteration of the original Japanese name into the Latin alphabet
- Kanzenshuu: The name spelling currently approved by and in use here at Kanzenshuu, which may or may not be in line with other "official" spellings
- English (Dub/Game): A category of name spellings generally and primarily associated with FUNimation's (now Crunchyroll's) English dub, but may also extend to other products based on their work, such as video games released by Bandai Namco
- English (Sub): A category of name spellings largely sourced from FUNimation's English language subtitle track corresponding to the original Japanese audio from their historical DVD releases; these spellings were largely coined by Steven Simmons, with additional Dragon Ball TV series work by Clyde Mandelin; for the most part, the choices of name spellings selected and used here will ignore any corporate-overwrites (see below)
- English (Viz): The name spelling used by Viz in their English translation of the various Dragon Ball manga series
- Pun/Source: The source word, phrase, or concept that the character's name originates from (often as a pun); view an individual character's page for more specific information and breakdowns on their name sources and spelling adaptations
About Corporate Spelling Mandates
In addition to the English dub audio track, home video releases from FUNimation and their partners began including the original Japanese version of the show/films/features starting in 1997 with three Dragon Ball Z films, and again in earnest in 2000 starting with Dragon Ball Z television series episodes. For the most part, the English subtitle tracks corresponding to the Japanese audio were allowed to largely and faithfully adapt the dialog and character names, without needing to adhere to choices previously made for the dub. There were minor deviations from this in the earliest days, including:
- For the 1997-1998 releases of the first three Dragon Ball Z films (Dead Zone, The World's Strongest, and The Tree of Might), even though there are separate subtitle tracks to distinctly correspond to either the English dub audio track or the original Japanese audio track, name spellings in the latter still largely mirrored those in use for the English dub, such as "Krillin" and "Master Roshi".
- For the "Captain Ginyu - Assault" and "Captain Ginyu - Double Cross" DVD releases in 2000, which marked the first in-house production of bilingual/uncut Dragon Ball Z episodes from FUNimation, the overall script in the subtitle track corresponding to the original Japanese audio track was translated faithfully, but name spellings were overwritten by corporate mandate. This practice immediately changed with the next releases[1], setting the stage for much more faithful character name spellings.
Historically, name spellings used between FUNimation's English dub, FUNimation's English subtitle track, and Latin alphabet merchandise in Japan had no particular relevance to or alignment with each other. This can most notably be seen with the prevalence of the historical "Gokou" spelling across Japanese merchandise, in contrast with the "Goku" spelling used for FUNimation's English dub, as well as in the subtitle track.
Around the time of the home video release of the Dragon Ball Super: Broly theatrical film, mandates for name spellings began coming down from the rights holders in Japan, overwriting previous, long-since-established choices made. These name spelling choices were also forced upon the subtitle track corresponding to the Japanese audio — this is perhaps no more notable than with the "Broly" film, which in Japanese and (forced internationally) included the spelling "Broly" instead of the previous "Broli" used in FUNimation's subtitle tracks.
About Character Ages
Japanese documentation and marketing materials have historically been consistent with their categorizations of character age ranges over time. These are notably split into three age brackets (note that translations of these are sometimes gendered, simply due to the sheer amount of male characters in Dragon Ball that they apply to):
- Childhood (幼年期 Yōnen-ki): Other than literal babies, this is the youngest bracket. Characters that fit into this category include those like Son Goku from the beginning of the manga, and Son Gohan during the Saiyan and Freeza arcs.
- Boyhood (少年期 Shōnen-ki): The next age bracket up, where the characters are still undeniably children. Characters that fit into this category include those like Son Goku during the battle with Demon King Piccolo, and Son Gohan during the battle with Cell.
- Adolescence (青年期 Seinen-ki): The top age bracket of characters still technically being children, bordering on — but crucially not quite yet — young adults. Characters that fit into this category include Son Gohan during the battle with Boo.
For characters that are already adults, but have forms or appearances over a longer span of time, terms such as "Early" (前期 Zen-ki), "Mid" (中期 Chū-ki), and "Late" (後期 Kō-ki) are typically used.[2]
FUNimation's English dub (and therefore a variety of official English-language merchandise, such as video game localizations) uses different, and often times wildly inaccurate, terminology for certain characters. The most notable of these is "Teen Gohan" used in reference to Son Gohan during the battle with Cell, when "Teen Gohan" more accurately refers to him during the battle with Boo, which FUNimation instead labels as "Adult Gohan". These dub-specific terms may be noted where appropriate for raw citation purposes, but are not prioritized and hold no weight on greater categorizations, spelling choices, etc.
About Sub-Franchise Delineations
A fair number of name spellings and consistent categorization styles can be traced back to video games, which often have a need to denote individual characters or transformations as selectable by the player. This grew exponentially with the Dragon Ball Heroes game series (and its Super Dragon Ball Heroes upgrade). The table below provides a wealth of these specific form names, but certain redundant categories are not listed when the character's name is otherwise exactly the same as it normally would be without the appended delineation (e.g., "Son Goku: GT"). Some of these include:
- "GT": Denoting a form of a character from the Dragon Ball GT television series
- "BR": Denoting a form of a character from the Dragon Ball Super: Broly theatrical film
- "SH": Denoting a form of a character from the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero theatrical film
- "Mini": Denoting a child form of a character from the Dragon Ball Daima television series
On the flip side, ": Xeno" and ": [age-specific]" versions of characters are listed below.
