Commander Ginyu of the Ginyu Force (Ginyu is the Japanese word for 'Milk')
Emperor Pilaf (named after Turkish meat and rice dish...)
Piccolo (as the small flute musical instrument...)

Though some names didn't survive the English dub translations...

Bulma (original Japanese is Bluma, which is the Japanese pronunciation for 'Bloomers', and as the rest of the pun goes, is the daughter of Dr Briefs and has boy named Trunks, and in the original Japanese, a daughter name Bra...)

TO cantsenditback Ya damn skippy its the best Anime in the world! I don't think anything can be as great as DBZ. the games, the anime, manga, the TOYS! DBZ as Sailor Moon and Pokemon as their runningmates made Anime what it is in the US!
