<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This page details the various Japanese personal pronouns (人代名詞) used throughout ''[[Dragon Ball]]''. These pronouns cannot be strictly translated due to the limitations of the English language, but Japanese speakers have a range of pronouns to choose from with different shades of formality, humility, and gender color that can vary by region and evolve over time.<br />
<br />
==First-person pronouns==<br />
First-person pronouns (一人称 ''ichininshō'') are the pronouns that characters use to refer to themselves. English first-person pronouns vary only by grammatical case: nominative "I" and accusative "me". Japanese pronouns do not vary by grammar at all. Some ''Dragon Ball'' characters only ever use one first-person pronoun, while others will change pronouns depending on age, situation, and personal preference. Examples are given here, but each character's first-person pronouns are included in the character page infobox when they are known.<br />
<br />
===Watashi===<br />
''Watashi'' (私 or わたし) is polite and gender-neutral.<br />
