Goku has been the subject of various parodies. In the episode "Career Day" of "Takeshi's Castle", known in the United States as "MXC", the hosts Beat Takeshi and Sonomanma Higashi dressed as popular anime characters, one as Goku as a child, the other as Doraemon. "Weekly Shōnen Jump"'s "Gag Special 2005" issue, released on November 12, 2004, featured a "Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo" one-shot "Dragon Ball" parody manga, a retelling of the first fight between Goku and Vegeta. In chapter #179 of the "Yakitate!! Japan" manga, Kawachi executes a "Genki-Dama" parody called a "Shinrai-Dama" on the character Katsuo. In the manga and anime series "Blood Lad", the character Staz performs the gestures for Goku's Kamehameha, having learned it from his favorite manga superhero, but it has no actual effect.
