## Trivia[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Toshio_Furukawa&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Trivia")]
* Piccolo (who was voiced by Furukawa) was voiced in the [Funimation](/wiki/Funimation "Funimation") of *Dragonball Z* by [Christopher Sabat](/wiki/Christopher_Sabat "Christopher Sabat").
* While Furukawa's Yamamura highly respects [Akira Kamiya](/wiki/Akira_Kamiya "Akira Kamiya")'s character [Kogoro Mouri](/wiki/Kogoro_Mouri "Kogoro Mouri"), Furukawa and Kamiya have frequently played rivals, most notably in *Urusei Yatsura* (Ataru and Mendou), *Fist of the North Star* (Shin and Kenshiro), and *Dragon Ball Z* (Piccolo and Garlic Jr.). Additionally, Furukawa took over the role Kinnikuman from Kamiya for the sequel series *Kinnikuman Nisei* and portrayed the *Space Battleship Yamato* character Sakamoto, who was meant to replace Kamiya's Katou. In the anime, Sakamoto only appeared the in TV special *New Journey* and Katou's brother (also voiced by Kamiya) took over the role and Sakamoto was never seen again until the PS2 games, in which he permenantly took Katou's place.
