YOUR SAY
INTERVIEW
A SUPA INTER
Paul: Similar to how you do Son
Goku?
Nozawa-san: Yes
Paul: Sitting with me now at Su-
panova 2017 is an absolute legend.
50 years in the business, voicing
characters like Gegege No Kitarou,
Son Goku, Son Gohan, Son Goten,
is Masako Nozawa. Thankyou for
joining me.
Nozawa-san: Thankyou very much.
Paul: I watched some episodes of
Gegege No Kitarou at my hotel last
night. I love the series.
Nozawa-san: Ahh, thank you very
much.
Paul: What are your memories of
the series?
Nozawa-san: The first time I saw
the storyline and the script I heard
that he was from the realm of the
past people, the Yokai. So in that
realm I didn’t expect him to be like
that, but I just acted as though I was
just a normal boy, and that was very
memorable for me.
Paul: How was the transition from
Goku as a child to Goku as an adult
for you?
Nozawa-san: It just comes very nat-
ural to me, and I see the picture and
I get into character. So if I see an
adult Goku as a picture I would just
become an adult Goku. If I see him
as a child I just act as though I’m
just a child Goku, so it just comes
very natural.
Paul: Now, you’ve met Sean Schem-
mel, the English Goku. Did you give
him any advice for the character?
Nozawa-san: No, I’ve never given
him any advice. He has his own
Goku, and I just believe in him in do-
ing what he does.
Paul: Beautiful. Thankyou very much
for your time Nozawa-san. Arigatou.
Nozawa-san: Thankyou.
