Goku (britisch anglo american or aussie NZ) Tall, great round bleu eyes (so that they can make it later high green), light taned white skin, lots of hair, great mimic between innocent and fearce, big smile nice white theeth for the laughs I think this must be an Anglo American Vegeta (Italian american): Middle length not to small (Krillin must be smaller), strong face with also the same eyes as Goku (they came of the same planet, don't they) strong eyebrous, Strong proudfull caracter look in the face, he must gonna give many faces Krillin (Italian american) Master Rosie (afro american or Chinese asian) Piccalo (afro american) Yamcha (Korean or Chinese Asian) Tien (Japanese) Bulma (south american / mexican / spanish) Chi Chi (Japanese) Gohan (mixed american or Chinese) Goten (mixed america or Chinese) Tien (Russian / mixed american) Kami (afro american) Raditz (Italian) Nappa (Arab/Turk) Mr. Satan (Russian, Tjechian, Hungarian) Freeza (what ever but no CGI please!!!)

Ok people say Saiyans don't look asian but hardly does any other anime character, even though they are supposed to be since they are a japanese series. Or that they are even in the residence of a japanese city or country. But yes some characters in anime(in cluding dragonball z) are definetly supposed to be of other ethinics . IMO, I think Son Goku looks alot like a japanese person , specially in Dragon Ball. Every one has there own opinions thats what is great, it gives people stuff to talk about. To discuss , thats why we come to these boards the talk about the dbz movie and Dragonball ,z,gt. Oh yeah on Hiei putting Half/half/half , it might not be politically correct but in a way it is right , the second half would be 1/2 of the first , and the 3rd half would be the half of the second , Yes, though it was 1/3 of the first it still was only the the 1/2 of the 2nd 1/2. Goku looks Asian?- ROFL He don't look like no Asian dude! (He does not look like an Asian man) And Vegeta does not look Japanese. Let's face it folks- the saiyan race, as a whole, is just a bunch of white people.. I mean, come on!- On the show, the saiyans were a race who liked to destroy and take over things. Yes- white people...

Vegeta SHOULD be Japanese no matter what!!

imo, vegeta doesn't have any asian characteristics (except his voice in the origional version). in the english version, the dude really seems like if he were from earth, he'd be european. i have a lot of pure italian friends who resemble saiyans like crazy (mostly in appearence, cuz they aren't evil like most saiyans are ;D). i've never seen an asian person who i thought resembled vegeta (except jet li when i was a noob to dbz ;D). and i myself am part european and people say i really resemble goku (maybe it's the hair cuz i was bored and grew it out and it goes out kind of like goku, it's a mix between goku's hair and spike's hair (bebop)). anyway my point is that saiyans should be played by european actors or american/european actors, not asian ones. except for the half saiyans like gohan (he should have both asian and american/european characteristics) or trunks, who i think should be full american or a american with some european characteristics from vegeta.

Yes- white people... Though your comment could be consider racist but yet so dang funny ha ha lol ;D you have a point but what would the asian community say they may be a little offended all their life they thought Goku to be Asian and all of a sudden some white or latin guy playing the world most powerful comic character every made Plus Akira Toriyama has a big say so in in the casting about race, because the same with Stan Lee he is in all his Marvel movies and has a little consent over all of them they can not changed the race of Goku unless they ask Akira. if, Akira based Goku on a asian Monkey kid then FOX would have to have permission to change his character race. Personal Son Goku is based on and Asian Chinese Monkey God that had immense power look up the legend of the monkey king there are different stories about him! Now check this out look at Uub in the Dragon Ball Z: Japanese Character Guide. he is a little black boy, but he looks more Indian with me but the character guide says little black child that is the reincarnate of buu so characters can be a certain race to them and in the anime they look so american to us. now look at the AKIRA MOVIE everybody looked asian they all had those beedy eyes so it 's up toToriyama to change the race.

If Fox has the rights to make a DBZ movie, they can do whatever they want with Goku's race...they don't have to ask for permission to make Goku white...

Toriyama still has rights to his character design remeber in daredevil KING PIN was black he is not black. only Stan Lee gave that authorization to changed the look of that character. Toriyama has right to the Characters as well. they just bought the Dragon Ball Z name for making a movie, Akira still own the characters.

You know something else two saiyens don't have to be the same race, there could be different ethnics of saiyens.

Are you sure of that?...I don't think they had to BUY the rights to make King Pin black, I think they just asked Stan Lee if the idea was ok for him... If it was the way you're saying, then they would have to buy the rights for all the characters just to use them. Believe me, they can do whatever they want with the characters... P.S. I hate Daredevil (the movie).

You guys are putting too much into race again! I personally could care less if Trunks was Asian or Indian or even a friggin purple dude! I mean yeah I want the actors to look like the characters but that's why we have the dream team threads! Or i think that's one of the reasons for the dream team threads... As long as we get an evil looking Android 17, a heroic Goku and a Kick A** Trunks I'm happy! Of course you need to take into account that Fox doesn't want to look racist so they'll most likely mix it up. Well i still dunno. I'll get back to you on that. ... And Hurclue has to be a fat a** American windbag! Like in the Anime!
