It’s been since 1984 that Goku fascinates Japanese readers, a fascination that was then extended first to the anime viewers, always Japanese, and then slowly to the rest of the world with Dragon Ball, which has become a symbol of Shonen and Japanese animation.

But not many cosplayers can faithfully recreate it. It goes without saying that it takes a great physique, well shaped and massive, not to mention the difficulty of faithfully replicating the hair without making it look plastic or of poor quality. But there were some cosplayers who tried anyway and got great results. Let’s see Four Goku cosplays have been released in the past few years.

The first that we present is that of the first two posts, made by Cosplay Minney. The protagonist of Dragon Ball comes to life in both the Ultra Instinct and Super Saiyan versions. These photos are only a small part of the massive production of the cosplayer who has dedicated himself to Goku several times. But photos, expressions, and photography really make it an effective cosplay.

The The second cosplay was done by Dat-Baka a few years ago and gives us a different perspective on Son Goku. The character is not in the classic fighting stances in which he shows his muscles, but is supported by a very loyal krillin, in a Super Saiyan version and full of wounds, probably after a fight. The makeup and hair as well as the pose and expression add a lot of realism to this cosplay.

Let’s move on to the third cosplay. Created by Fan Goku Flex. As the name suggests, this cosplay has also had a strong focus on the Saiyan from Dragon Ball. In the three posts we shared below, we see him in the Super Saiyan Blue version, where he gives free rein to his strength and muscular and well-trained body, as well as the full Ultra Instinct version.

Finally, let’s go back to the early days of Dragon Ball. Let’s go back to the moment when Goku was just twelve years old and had just stopped living in the mountains. ONE Very young fan was disguised as the most affectionate Goku you can see. Unfortunately, the photo is anonymous, but his cosplay definitely gives us the opportunity to see a different version of the hero.

In the last few months we have also presented a Goku Super Saiyan 3 and a female Goku cosplay on our website. What are your preferences?

OUYOU ALREADY KNOW WHO I AM. This photo was taken by @Jamie_Flack of Cat & Crown Artwork. In my opinion he is one of the most talented and hardworking photographers in the UK cosplay scene and his job is always spot on. I was very excited to get this photo after 12 months. It didn’t take long because I was lazy, but because he was giving so damn much back to this community that he had to go through hundreds of cosplay photos before he reached that set. ⠀ ⠀ And the wait was worth it. Thanks for everything you do man you are amazing

One of the best parts of watching anime is how many times a show can surprise you. Sometimes for good, sometimes for bad. But if the Otaku know one thing, it's that anything is possible.
