Goku? What an unusual name!

Goku? What an unusual name!

Jan 11, 2022

If you're wondering how my parents came up with my name here's the answer! At the time of my adoption my hoomans were watching Dragon Ball - an anime about a black-haired boy with a tail named Son Goku that loves to fight! As you may noticed I also have black hair... ahem... fur and a tail! So it was an obvious choice for an energetic cat that often gets in trouble.

Further in the story Goku gets his iconic orange dōgi. So when the days become colder and I needed something to keep me warm during walks, hoomans chose a beautiful orange coat. I think it looks great with black!

In Dragon Ball's continuation, Dragon Ball Z, Goku finds out that he is in fact of an alien warrior race - the Saiyans. There is a legend about an ultimate warrior - a LEGENDARY SUPER SAYIAN. Of course our hero becomes one and later goes on to achieve higher levels of Super Saiyan like Super Sayian 2, Super Sayian 3, Super Sayian Blue, etc...

You can become a Super Sayian yourself by choosing a membership on my "Buy Me a Coffee" page!

So now you know a bit of my name's backstory. My parents are talking that if they get another cat, it will be white and named Vegeta after Goku's nemesis and later friend. It is possible that my parents are big nerds, but shhhh... don't tell them I called them that!
