*Ian Corlett was replaced by
Peter Kelamis and Dave Ward as the voices of Goku and Roshi respectively in the Ocean Group dub's second and final season of "Dragon Ball Z". According to Corlett, the principal reason why he abandoned the role of Goku was because he wasn't being compensated for the character's several, now trademark, yells. He remained on the series, however, as a writer and producer alongsideTerry Klassen .
