Introduction

Son Goku (孫悟空) is a name originating from the central character of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, known in Japanese as the Monkey King (Sun Wukong). The name has since been adopted and adapted across various works of Japanese fiction, most famously in the Dragon Ball franchise, where it serves as the protagonist's name. Characters named Son Goku typically carry connotations of immense strength, martial arts prowess, and ties to monkey or simian themes, though the specific portrayals vary widely between adaptations. Some may even be direct interpretations of Journey to the West.
