Goku in Japanese Kanji
Goku in Japanese is ゴク. Written in kanji, a stroke-checked spelling is 悟久.
“Wisdom and charm — success through intelligence.”
This is not a random conversion. Every kanji below is genuinely used in Japanese names, and this combination was selected because its stroke total lands on a lucky number under seimei handan (姓名判断) — the traditional check Japanese families use.
What each kanji means
Enlightenment — satori, the Zen awakening. Satoru (悟) — and yes, Goku's son Gohan's family 悟空/悟飯 — names deep understanding beyond mere knowledge.
Long-lasting, eternal. A compact three-stroke wish for longevity, seen in classics like Hisako (久子) and Kumi (久美).
