Son Gohan's Page was an amateur, fan-created website founded in 1996 by Allan Tabilas based in the Philadelphia, PA area[1]. The site was notable for its collection of multimedia in the early days of Dragon Ball fansites, particularly with its MPEG-1 video files. Kuririn was the owner's favorite character[2] and was featured through a "Kuririn Shrine" on the website (a page with in-depth information about the character) as well as through Kuririn-specific video clips.
Due to the standard inability of web hosts to appropriately serve these kinds of popular, media-rich Dragon Ball fansites, Son Gohan's Page moved servers several times, using resources such as college/university accounts, donations, affiliate links, etc. to stay afloat for as long as possible.
While the website lasted into 1998, by 2001 Son Gohan's Page was already being fondly remembered by fans[3].
The site owner was an active participant within alt.fan.dragonball (often posting under the username "willy").
Features
Multimedia
Son Gohan's Page included a number of multimedia files, with an emphasis on MPEG-1 video clips. Video clips were separated into categories for Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, video games, etc. The site also included captures of anime music videos by editors such as Duane Johnson and Joseph Croasdaile. Video clips tended to be captured at a resolution of 320x240 and sourced from Nippon Golden Network broadcast recordings.

Music files were included in MP2 (MPEG-1 Layer 2) format, but were eventually pared down due to similar content appearing on other sites such as Suushinchuu.
