Sometimes you don't even need to learn Japanese. Dragonball characters are like 75% English transliterations.

You know whats the worst? English Transliterations where the family name is something like Alan or Rodderick and the characters first names are Fitzgerald or Caldwell. And some translators can't figure it out so they type up the name Gram as Garham or the name Alice as Arisu.

ProZD did a video calling these in an announcer voice, which I come back to every year or so for a good chuckle.

Bertholdt from Attack on Titan is my favorite misspelled character name.
