In Japan, May 9th was declared as "Goku Day" (Goku no hi). The proposal for this day was submitted by the animation studio Toei, as the numbers five and nine can be read as "Go" and "Ku."
Quirky anniversaries are not exactly uncommon in Japan. Thus, Goku Day joins the ranks of, for example, Star Wars Day (May 4th), Terminator Day (May 25th), Caesar Salad Day (July 4th), and Mascara Day (September 8th).
