The most emblematic character of the anime series will be the next ambassador of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

The anticipation of what will be the Olympic Games of Tokyo 2020 at the closing ceremony of Rio 2016, was shaped by references to the most famous Japanese anime and video games, such as Doraemon, Pacman, Hello Kitty, Captain Tsubasa and Super Mario.
However, there was still an incredible surprise to be revealed: Goku, the famous character in the Dragon Ball series, Dragon Ball z and Dragon Ball Super, was named the new ambassador of the games.
