"Dragonball is based on the old Chinese myth of Journey to the West"

I never made the connection between goku's peculiarities and journey to the West, that's interesting, thanks.

I mean this as politely as possible but you thought a man name Goku, who won martial arts tournaments through deceptive techniques, had a monkey tail, transformed into an ape, used a magic cloud as transportation, and had an extending pole as a weapon was unrelated to Journey to the West?

Son Gokuu is the Japanese reading of the name Sun Wukong.
