Veteran litigator and Texas state senator Nathan Johnson was elected attorney general of Texas this week. He is set to assume the role in January 2027.
On Facebook, Johnson said “Dragon Ball Z” fans may know him as the composer who wrote the scores for 67 episodes and five movies.
His scores from the 2000s include “Dragon Ball Z: The World’s Strongest,” “The Tree of Might,” “Broly — Second Coming,” “Fusion Reborn” and “Wrath of the Dragon.”
Johnson recalled that his one-year-old child sat on his knee while he worked, watching things blow up and seeing Goku. He said the work was fun, gave him a creative outlet and connected him culturally with his children.
Created by Akira Toriyama and produced by Toei Animation, “Dragon Ball Z” follows the adventures of Goku, an alien warrior. The anime premiered in Japan in 1989 and aired on Cartoon Network in the United States from 1998 to 2008.
Johnson earned a physics degree from the University of Arizona and a law degree from the University of Texas at Austin. He took office in 2019 and has since authored at least 433 bills, more than 130 of which became law.
