Did you know? Contrary to popular belief, the Kamehameha from Dragon Ball isn't named after the Hawaiian king of the same name. In a interview featured on the Daizenshuu 4, author Akira Toriyama stated that his wife came up with the name. Basically, Toriyama believed Kame-Sen’nin’s (亀仙人 Turtle Hermit. aka Mater Roshi) special attack should end up with a "ha", then after a while she sugested the name kamehameha (かめはめ波は lit. "Turtle Destruction Wave" ).
The fact that the attack sounds similar to the name of King Kamehameha I is just a coincidence.
