Starting this year, May 9th is officially recognized as Goku Day in Japan by the Japan Anniversary Association. Toei Animation, the animation studio behind Dragon Ball Z, had actually filed an application with Japan Anniversary Association to commemorate this day and their request was approved.
The reason of May 9th as Goku Day, is because May is the fifth month in the year and in Japanese the number 5 can be read as "Go" while the number 9 can be read as "Ku".
Other recognized holidays include Star Wars Day on May 4, Terminator Day on May 25, Caesar Salad Day on July 4, etc.
