The German version calls him Son Goku and left many Japanese names and descriptions in the anime, like the Genkidama (Spirit Bomb). They tried to translate some stuff in the first episodes of the original dragonball (Kame-Hame-Ha ---> Schockwelle (Shockwave), but they gave up to avoid cheesiness. The other characters call him by both names, but it depends on the situation (Chichi likes to use full names when she lectures him or her son).
