Voice acting titan Masako Nozawa is marking her 90th birthday with a career-spanning apparel collaboration. Partnering with the merchandise brand FAVOLC, the collection features designs that highlight the legendary performer's journey from her early days in the industry to her current status as a cultural icon. The initial wave of products includes a variety of staples such as sweatshirts, tote bags, and baseball caps.
Fans looking to secure these commemorative items can find them through the FAVOLC website and the Animate online store. The collection is priced between 3,080 and 8,800 yen, and those ordering directly through FAVOLC will receive an exclusive "Nozawa Masako 90th Anniversary" pin, available in black, purple, or yellow.
Nozawa’s career is nothing short of historic, defined most notably by her long-standing role as Son Goku in the Dragon Ball franchise. Beyond her Saiyan work, she has lent her voice to foundational series including Astro Boy, GeGeGe no Kitarō, and Galaxy Express 999. Her industry impact was formally recognized in 2025 when she was named a Person of Cultural Merit by the Japanese government.
As a Guinness World Record holder for her longevity in video game voice acting, Nozawa remains a central figure in the medium. During her 2023 Kan Kikuchi Prize acceptance speech, she famously declared her intention to continue working until she reaches 128 years old, proving that even at 90, her passion for the craft shows no signs of slowing down.
