What's left behind the scenes
- The character of Goku is based on the Monkey King from Chinese mythology. Like his prototype, he uses a flying cloud and a staff that can grow longer.
- In addition to the 153 episodes and 4 films, there are also 2 "lost" episodes. These are educational films that address road safety and fire prevention. They were never released in the US, but are included in Japanese editions.
- The Hungarian actor who voiced Piccolo initially spoke in a very hoarse voice, believing he was voicing a minor character. To his surprise, Piccolo became one of the main heroes. And prolonged voicing in a hoarse voice helped the actor cure his throat.
