Goku is considered and perceived as an Asian because he was based on a Chinese Folk Tale character named Sun Wukong. He’s name is a direct translation from Chinese to Japanese. He is also based on the famous Chinese Actor named Jackie Chan. He’s clothes are also based on the Shaolin Monks of China.

In the Anime no one notices that he’s an alien until his brother Raditz revealed it(Saiyan Saga). Everybody thought he’s the real grandson of Grandpa Gohan so they were shocked when they found out that he’s an alien. So he passed as an Asian in terms of the looks department.

When Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan he DOESN’T turn white. In fact his facial structure like eyes, nose, lips and jaw still remains the same even when his transformed into a Super Saiyan. The only thing changed is his hair and eye color. His eyes turn to GREEN and his hair becomes GOLDEN. It is a reference to the Monkey King because Sun Wukong also has Golden hair.

So it is really a big mistake and an insult that they’ve casted a white guy to play Goku. Just imagine if they cast a Black man or a Chinese guy as Superman? How would you and the Superman fans feel?

I just watched the movie and all of you who talk shit seriously piss off. It was good and it’s just the first movie so it will progress and he will beef up and Goku’s anime hair is hard as hell to copy with real hair. He ends up wearing the suit by the end of the movie and no he’s not Asian but he plays the part GREAT! Watch it and you’ll see. It’s a little different than the series but who cares it’s Dragonball Z! It’s like what they did to Star Trek ( I loved that too!)

I really want to see this film! I find Justin Chatwin good-looking! That is my opinion so I don’t expect to be yelled at by those who don’t like him.
