I love that Dragon Ball is seen as the quintessential Japanese anime show to Americans, but its plot, setting, and themes are heavily influenced on Chinese culture.

Heck, the series started with Goku as a small, monkey-like boy with a tail, an infinitely-extending pole for a weapon, and he flew across the skies on a small cloud. That's literally just The Monkey King from Chinese mythology.

you don't even have to look that far, the Monkey King's name is Sun Wukong in chinese, but Son Goku in japanese
