+ RICE BOY +



	Welcome Hello! Welcome to Rice Boy, the official fanlisting (+ a shrine) to the DragonBall Z character, Son Gohan ()! This site is a part of: Info Script used: Enthusiast Opened: May 08, 2004 Last updated: July 05, 2008 Member count: 431 from 46 countries Pending members: 0 Newest members: Anna, Colleen, JanJan, Angelica, and Elaine Members/day: 0.46 Countries: 46 Updates (Month/Day/Year) 11/23/06: First off, there's a new layout! Woopie! I've actually had this layout done for some time now (...like...a month or more x_x), but it was misbehaving with me. Eventually I ended up having to make each image for both screen resolutions jimongous so that the stripes would appear correctly. They kept jumping around when I tried to do it another way. >_< This is such a simple layout. It's really bugging me, to be honest. I haven't done such a bland layout in...a long, long time. x_x;; If you guys hate it, I'll gladly change it. I just desperatly needed a change from that last layout. Ask Chibi Gohan has been updated with all the questions since May (except for questions that contained content that I didn't see fit for this webpage sweat drops) Ask Teen Gohan will be updated sometime later today or tomorrow. :P There were a lot of questions, but Gohan-chan and I tried to answer them thoroughly! x_____x;; I'm NEVER going to let that section go like that again. NEVER! If I do, please slap me. Also, I've officially given up on correcting grammatical errors. I'm going to drive myself crazy if I try to correct them all. Again, I repeat, PLEASE use the best grammar AND TYPING that you can. It makes my life so much easier. My life being easier gets your question answered fast. If I'm not driven crazy, I won't squeeze Gohan-chan to death. Comprende? I also added some new sprites. Yay! Screencaps will be updated soon! I PROMISE! It's just that I've got so many to upload... I'd really just like to get them all collected together before I go making zip files. I bought several of the remastered DBZ DVDs from Japan. ^^ The colors are AWESOME on them! Let's dare to compare: Clickie! The Funimation version is the newly released version, by the way (not the Ocean group's version). Personally, I think that it looks better with the white light instead of the yellow light. It makes the scene look much more dramatic, in my opinion. These aren't quite taken at the exact same moment (that would be pretty much impossible), but I think it's a fair comparison. One of my favorite scenes! Poor Piccolo-san. ;_; I got Budoukai Tenkaichi 2 (I would have prefered to get Sparking NEO, but tragically, I don't own a Japanese PS2 >_<)! I really love it. ^^ You can switch to the Japanese voices! It really made my...year to not have to hear Stephanie Nadolny butcher Gohan-chan's voice. Not only that, but I had to do a fangirl giggle when I heard Furukawa Toshio's voice (Piccolo's seiyuu). He's too damn smexy. _ I'm still depressed that they had women play Hawk's Eye (another role of Toshio's) in the Sailormoon musicals. ;_; It made me really sad! Ah well. At least Hikari-san played Hawkie. It made my day a little brighter. She's the only woman in Sera Myu that I can honestly say sounds exactly like a guy when she sings (definetely a tenor, but she's still good). ^___^ ANYWAY, back to the game! I really, really like it. I especially, as always, love the things the characters say to each other when they're about to fight (XD yes, this is the highlight of the game for me). I've come to the conclusion that Chibi Gohan says "onegai" too much though. XD I feel really fangirlish when I can quote the Japanese. I think I've got nearly all of Gohan's phrases down (in all his forms!). I've got a great majority of Mirai Trunks' down, too ("Anata wa...masaka! Gohan-san?!"). :P I'm going to scan doujinshi stuff in...somtime. Really! I will! I just ordered a bulk doujinshi set that was for sale at a cheap price at The Fluffy Shrimp (even better, the seller had a perfect feedback rating). It's gasp Piccolo Ball! As if I don't have enough Piccolo Ball doujinshi. XD What can I say? It's addictive! So much Gohan and Piccolo goodness! What's better is that it's such soft yaoi that if I scanned it, some people might not even consider it yaoi (honestly, I don't). Now, if you want kissing and all that stuff... grabs Mama Papa SO MUCH GOHANxPIKORO GOODNESS!!!! Anyway, for those who want a preview... See? Gohan and Pikoro so can karaoke! I'm always talking about this scene... ;_; It's so sad!!! Gohan-chan can't die! BWAHA! MOP TOP SSJ! Freeza, anyone? Mirai Gohan and Piccolo have a moment. Mirai Gohan and Piccolo both looking cool. ^_^ Another moment with Gohan and Piccolo! As you can see, Gohan and Piccolo enjoy having their moments. I imagine this could be classified as yaoi...but really Gohan's just feeding Piccolo-san a senzu. sweat drops I really, really, really want to buy the doujinshi collection by ACT (you know, the one with Piccolo-san wearing jeans and cowboy boots drools). Maybe someday. sparkly eyes Well, there went all the money I've earned lately. needs to refrain from DBZ shopping sprees in the future Hm...I think that's all I have to say this time. I talk too much. Oh! Yes! One more thing! HAPPY THANKSGIVING IF YOU LIVE IN THE U.S.! ALSO, THANKS FOR 350+ MEMBERS! (Oh! Another thing! XD The counter is kind of...broken. I know I had somewhere around 450,000-500,000 hits when it broke...which was about a month ago. Does anyone know about any good counters? I'd really prefer a text counter. The image counters usually annoy me, unless they're super amazing. >_<) \| 11/02/06: Do I have an excuse for not updating? No, not really. I just haven't felt inspired. Pathetic, I know. Don't worry though, I haven't forgotten about Rice Boy (I NEVER COULD!). This isn't really an update, more of a shout out to notify you guys that I'm still alive and that some major updates are soon to come. I've already made the next layout. I hope you guys will like it! I'm just trying to code it so everyone will be able to view it correctly. It's being a bit mean to me for some reason. It's a super simple layout compaired to my usually style (it's iframe!), but I really like it. Despite it's simplicity, it did take me several hours to get it to where I liked it. whipes forehead News, news... I bought the Son Gohan 2007 calender. ^^ It's so prettyful! The next layout actually features the picture of him from February (...and not just 'cause that's my birthday month...that's actually my favorite picture XD). I'm going to scan in some pictures for you sometime. It's really hard to fit the calender in my scanner, since it has rings at the top, so it might take a while. I bought the Piccolo calender too, so if you're lucky (lmao, joking) you'll get some scans from that also. If you haven't bought a calender yet...what are you waiting for!? Click here for the calender's page on CDJapan! There are also Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Piccolo, Kame Sen'nin, and general series calenders if you're interested in them. Sparking NEO is going to be released this month under the title of Budoukai Tenkaichi 2 in North America, so be looking for it! We can only hope that they'll have Japanese voices as an option. I would have bought the Japanese version, but tragically, I do not have a Japanese PS2...yet. I think that's basically all that's happening right now in stuff you can buy. scratches head If I'm leaving something out, shout at me, all right? AH! I never told you what happened at A-Kon! Dang, I'm an idiot. A-Kon seemed slightly slower than last year. Of course, the guest singer, KOTOKO, wasn't nearly as popular as Dream, so that could be the reason. The first A-Kon I went to just so happened to have a mega-popular band come to it. sweat drops ANYHOW, the first event I went to was the "Anime Name That Tune." I was a bit angry, because I felt that the categories were a bit misleading. When they said that the first category was "new anime," I assumed they ment anime that had came out in the last six to seven years. Yet, somehow, Ranma 1/2 ended up in the mix of songs (Jajauma ni Sasenaide, it's first opening theme, to be presise). I didn't realize that a series created in 1987 was considered new. sweat drops May I ask why DBZ wasn't included in the new category, then? I played in the shoujo category and would have done good, I believe, had I not been sitting at the very corner of the room. XD I raised my hand for Peace of Love from Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne before ANY of those other girls, I swear! At least five seconds before! The judges didn't notice me though, and called on another girl before me. ;_; It made me sad! That happened several times. Then there was voice actor panells and stuff, bla bla bla. Nothing you care about. I didn't get to go into the fanart room, snice they wanted people to leave their belongings outside the door. Uh huh. Yeah. I'm really going to leave my purse, an expensive camera, and everything I bought in the dealer's room in front of a door where every single con-go-er can pick it up and claim it as there's. Yeah. The dealer's room was awesome this year! I bought a lot of stuff. There was this stand that sold the Japanese manga, and I finally managed to buy a Japanese DBZ kanzenban! YAY! I bought Kanzenban #21, which takes place during the Freeza saga (it has Gohan, Kuririn, Piccolo, and Veggie-head's fight with Freeza...but the special part is that it has COLORED pages! YAY! Now Freeza can beat up on my Gohan-chan in color! XD). I also bought some Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon manga, and some Full Moon wo Sagashite manga, but that's besides the point! We are on a shounen-related site, after all! I doubt you want to hear about my vast collection of shoujo. cough Leaving out all the other stuff that's not related to DBZ, I bought several pencil boards, a doujinshi, some DVDs (that were literally $3 each!), a few action figures, a cute little Dragonball that has a suprise in it (I got a Porunga figure...yaaaay! ^___^), and some other random things. Oh! Yes! I nearly forgot! I bought a Piccolo keyring that's made out of metal! My mom really likes him, since she says that I can use him as a weapon if I'm ever attacked out on the streets! Not only that, but I also now have a companion for my Gohan keychain. YATTA!!! Not many DBZ voice actors were at this con. There was Vic Mignogna, who played Broli, though he's more popular for his role as Edward Elric from Hagaren no Renkinjitsushi, so... I got his autograph though! He drew me a pretty picture of Ed, too! XD Sonny Strait, Kuririn's English voice actor, was there also. I got his autograph, of course. I didn't have a DBZ item with me at that moment (;_;), so he signed my Ranma 1/2 poster. He drew dots on panda Genma's head and wrote to the side, "Krillin was here." XD It's amusing. I have the poster up in my bed room. ^^ I also felt really smart when I was at the con (yes! smartness!). This lady came up to me while I was in line for Sonny Strait's autograph and asked me if I knew where she could find something DBZ related, since her son really liked the series. So, I was like, "Lady, you've come to the right girl!" I told her that I was waiting in line for Sonny Strait, Kuririn's voice actor's autograph. Since the line was so short, she decided to join in the line. ^_^ It was cool. The con would have been perfect...had tragedy not struck (it always does o_o). For, right before the con, my wisdom teeth decided to stop being so wise and left me in utter pain through a majority of the con. SO, the night before the con, my teeth hurt so much that my mom took me to the ER at Baylor. The doctor had no idea what to do, since he was not a dentist, so he gave me some penicillin and loratab and said, "Here you go, little missy. Take this and the pain will go away. Then you'll just be sleeping all day, act zany, and feel like puking all the time." (Well, not really, but that's honestly what I felt like >_<) After the con, I got to happily come home to laying myself down on a bed, getting put out, having my gums toar open, getting teeth extracted, going home to go to sleep since I was still pretty drugged up from the anestesia, sleeping some more and still acting druggy because of the loratab, and then eventually getting better and not acting like a drug addict. YAY! Anyhow, every one of you reading this needs to go to A-Kon 18. Why? Why must you all go to A-Kon 18? Why, Kyle Herbert's going to be there again (dies). If you don't know who Kyle Herbert is, why...shame on you! Even if you were a sub junkie to begin with (admittedly, I started off watching the dub and continued watching the dub for several years...until I bought that Jinzouningen arc DVD and realized you could switch to Japanese. gasp Then I heard Nozawa Masako's voice and well, I was hooked), you should most definetely know Mr. Herbert! He's only the best and one of the only good voice actors at Funimation! Yes, my friends, he's the voice actor of teenage and adult Gohan. _ He's the nicest guy ever (as if you haven't heard this from me before). I met him at A-Kon 16, my first con. I didn't know that there were autograph times and that I was supposed to wait in those long lines, so I just walked up to Kyle Herbert and was like, "Would you sign my shirt?" You see, I also didn't know that you were supposed to buy something and have him sign it. ANYHOW, he was nice enough to sign it and not act like he thought I was an idiot. He even signed Gohan-chan's arm! It made me happy! I haven't worn that shirt since, in fear that the marker will come off. XD I'm such a fangirl. random I really want to cosplay Sera Myu (the Sailormoon musicals) at the next A-Kon, but, of course, I know no one else in my area who's into Sera Myu. growls If only I could find someone to play Uranus! Then I could succesfully do Harsh! Saint Cry ~Re-Arranged~! sigh has already decided that I'm going to go as Sera Myu Sailorneptune to A-Kon 18 Lmao, so if you're in Kansas somewhere and want to be Sailoruranus for A-Kon... I'm such a dork, aren't I? I've taken a lot of screencaps since the last update. A lot. A lot, a lot, a lot. They'll come up with the next update, as will the "Ask Gohan" responses. x_x;; I have too much to do. I feel busier now that I'm taking school online (brings out knife it's not home schooling, dernit! if I was forced to have my dad teach me something, we would have both jumped off a cliff by now (neither one of us have very much patience with each other sweat drops)) than when I was in regular school! dies \| 5/10/06: Okay, wow. It's been way too long. Sorry about that! I'm not even going to make any excuses. I've updated the Ask Chibi Gohan and Ask Teen Gohan pages with a lot of questions. I hope I didn't miss any! A screencap update WILL be coming soon, I promise! I've taken screencaps for almost all of the Perfect Seru saga. There's only about three episodes left that I need screencaps for. I'll post the file with all the screencaps once I finish with those three episodes. 300 MEMBERS!!!! Thanks so much, guys! There's also another milestone that passed a couple of days ago. I feel guilty that I didn't update on that day. I was thinking about it for most of the day, too, but I had a lot of homework that night, so... ;_; HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY, RICE BOY, AS OF MAY 8TH!!! Although it wasn't shrine-ified until August of 2004, Rice Boy, formally 'Simply Rice,' has been the TAFL approved fanlisting for Son Gohan for two years now. 300+ members in only two years! Will that mean we'll have 600 members in another two years? prods all the people who haven't joined I've reopened the Dragonball Icontest at Livejournal for all that care. I'm hoping people will participate again! Oh, and if you like making Kikyou (Inuyasha character) icons, make sure to participate at my other icontest that I just revived, Kikyou Stills! XD In other "news," I was approved for the Pikoro (Piccolo) fanlisting today! Be expecting it up sometime in the next couple of weeks! Piccy-chan will get his fanlisting shrine-ified as well! (Maybe I should name it Green Boy... Joking, joking. XD) Oh, oh! Kuririn's English voice actor is coming to A-Kon this year! FINALLY a DBZ voice actor has signed up! I was beginning to think it was hopeless! I PROMISE I'll update again sometime this month! PROMISE! \| 3/08/06: I added a new page: To the Haters. \| 3/07/06: I added a new page...the wall of shame. winces I hated to do that. I've also updated the ask chibi Gohan and ask teen Gohan pages. Again, PLEASE use as good of grammar as you POSSIBLY can. It makes my life a lot easier. Finally a DBZ voice actor has signed up to guest at A-Kon 17. Sean Teague is his name...and frankly, he's done such minor roles, that you probably wouldn't even remember them (Villager B in movie 10, Moah in movie 8, and, my personal favorite, "Boy in Yellow" from the GT special...do any of them ring a bell...? XD). I hope they'll all sign up at the last minute. Last year, there were a lot of DBZ voice actors (more than Full Metal Alchemist, even!). Be expecting a new layout soon, since Valentine's Day is over. \| 2/01/06: Erm...happy late new year! Sorry for abandoning the site for the last month! I did update a few things here and there, but didn't post on the index page. Really! Honestly! Obviously, there's a new layout. It's for the Valentine's Day layout marathon. As usual, I waited until the last minute to get my layout up. I got it up only a little under three hours before it's due to be up. sweat drops I'm such a procrastinator. I've had a lot of stuff going on offline, so I haven't really had time. Let's just put it this way: tests, homework, bitchy classmates. ^_^;; Ask Chibi Gohan and Ask Teen Gohan have been updated. I didn't add a few questions simply because they were already asked, had nothing to do with Son Gohan, had sexual content, etc. etc. etc. Then there's the dum dum dum impossible to understand questions. I guess I'm going to have to remind everyone who asks questions on that page this: USE AS GOOD OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR AS YOU CAN!! No, I'm not trying to be harsh. It's just that I get a lot of questions, and it's an extreme pain to have to correct all sorts of grammar on them. I'd prefer to not make the question pages a place for me to work on my skills at noticing grammar errors. -_-;; That's meant for school, not websites. Some people might think, "oh, it's only one email that'll be written in web speak." Oh no, it's not just one email. If one person uses grammar like "do u h8 _____," the next person is bound to do it, too. By the time I get Gohan-chan to respond to all the questions, I've got what seems like dozens of emails in my inbox. ANSWERING the questions is a task in itself. I'd prefer not to add to that. I hope you understand how I feel. I'm not trying to whine or anything. I wouldn't have opened those pages had I not been ready for a lot of questions, since I know that Rice Boy has been getting quite a few more hits than it did say...a year ago. So far no DBZ voice actors have said that they'll appear at A-Kon, according to A-Kon's website. I'm really hoping a bunch will come to this year's A-Kon like they did last year. Nearly all the voice actors that showed up last year had worked on DBZ at some point. I really hope Kyle Herbert (teen Gohan's English voice actor) comes back this year! If you've been visiting Rice Boy for a while, I'm sure you've heard my story about how nice the guy is. _ He signed my DBZ shirt (which, might I add, I haven't worn since, considering that the ink might rub off in the washer shudders) and let me cut through the line! Happy Valentine's Day! (coughacertainsomeone'sfifteenthbirthdayiscominguponthe19th,notthatyoucarecough) \| 12/27/05: I update the Ask Chibi Gohan and Ask Teen Gohan pages. I also added the (which isn't complete) Tenkaichi Budoukai saga gallery. Also, I've opened another Dragonball shrine: Seigi no Bishoujo. It's a shrine to Videl. Visit it, okay...? XD If anyone owns any Dragonball-related shrine prods affiliates I'd be happy to affiliate SNB with it. \| 12/18/05: New layout. 'Tis purple...! XD Rice Boy needed a purple layout. It's had a past of way too many blue layouts. I hadn't ever done a souly teen Gohan layout before either, so, since I was up for something new, I decided to go with a background of all black and white manga images of our Gohan-chan with a colored (which was purple-ized) manga image in the center. ^_^ I'd never done the whole extension of the side of the layout either, so... ^^;; I also converted the fanlisting to Enthusiast. As some may have noticed, people were unable to join the fanlisting during the past two weeks. That's because my (idiotic) host turned off the register globals. I've officially sent in the request for a domain transfer to Surpass Hosting, so by the end of the week, this domain will have a new host. Be expecting some downtime. Happy whatever-you-celebrate! XD \| 11/26/05: Updated the Ask Chibi Gohan, Ask Teen/Adult Gohan and pixels page. I've added a couple of rules to the "ask ___ Gohan" pages simply because I've seen a lot of repeated stuff that's been getting monotonous (web-speak, no grammar, etc.). I've also added an interactive page: Find the Pixels. XD It shouldn't be too hard. It's an easy-to-win award. I went to the Japanese Dragonball Z site yesterday. x____x I really want to buy the 2006 calendar, but I already spent my monthly online spendings this month on eBay AND I can't buy anything in December because I've got to save up for Christmas (even though it's just my mom and I, I like to get her a really good present. This is our first year without my grandma, too, so...). XP Hopefully it'll still be for sale in January. XP Dang dollar! It's got such little value! 2,100 yen (the cost of the calendar) is $18 US dollars. Then again, the Dragon Box (contains all the Dragonball movies) is 52,500 yen ($438.78 US dollars). T_T EDIT: I've added a new section at the Other section. \| 11/20/05: Updated the Buu saga gallery, Ask Chibi Gohan, Ask Teen Gohan and avatars pages. I also added the Imperfect Cell saga gallery, which is complete. ^___^ I got the 250 members award from TAFL! Yatta! The Dragonball Z fanlisting also has hit 250 members. ^.^ There's also three new affiliates: DBZ Romance Studio 17 Strike a Pose \| 10/31/05: Lots of news today! ^^;; The gallery has been majorly updated. The Android saga gallery has been updated with dozens upon dozens of new screencaps. There are also three new galleries! Take a peek at the Majin Buu saga gallery, movie 1 gallery and Boku Tachi wa Tenshi Datta gallery! Ask Teen/Adult Gohan has been updated with several new questions. I DID get several questions that I didn't add simply for the following reason(s): The question made absolutly no sense what-so-ever. It was completely irrelevent. It made me wonder about the mentality level of the sender (I seriously got some straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange questions). Remember to be serious with your questions! Yes, squeeing over Gohan-chan in a question is perfectly fine (but remember....HE'S MINE XD). One new affiliate! Go visit Saiyan Energie, okay! ^___^ I got the new DBZ video game, Dragonball Z: Sparkling (also known as Dragonball Z Budokai: Tenkaichi). I didn't have to buy it imported because the English version actually allows you to listen to the Japanese voices. _ Thank god! I didn't think I'd be able to stand hearing Stephanie Nadolny yelling out Gohan-chan's attacks! The game is the best. By my opinion, it beats all the Budoukai games HANDS DOWN! If you haven't gotten it yet...you need to! XD Last...but >definently not least... WE NOW HAVE 250 MEMBERS! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GETTING THE FANLISTING THIS FAR, GUYS! (just sent in the application for the award from TAFL ^.^) My next goal: 500 members. ^.~ We can do it! Happy halloween! \| 10/22/05: Updated Ask Chibi Gohan, Ask Teen Gohan and the avatars. I've created a new icontest, Gohan Stills. If you enjoy making static Gohan icons, please join! Icontests are a lot of fun! ^____^ I also created a graphics/icon journal on LJ, friedrice_gfx. I'll post lots of Gohan things there, I assure you. ^.^ >FOUR MORE MEMBERS UNTIL 250!!! \| 10/14/05: Updated the Ask Chibi Gohan and the Ask Teen Gohan pages. Seven members away from 250! I would also like to notify everyone that one of my Dragonball fanlistings is up for adoption! You can find more information from this post at my Livejournal. EDIT: Two new affiliates: SaiyanZ Legacy Lavendar-Saiyan.NET \| Affiliates Click here Extra Junk Count: The counter's currently missing. Oh couuuunter! Where could you possibly be!? There was somewhere around 500,000 hits when the counter decided to run away. If you know of a good counter script, please, pleeeeease give me a holler.
