Akira Toyirama’s Interview

In his interview, Akira explains that the figure that Beerus saw in his dream was not Goku. It was a legendary super Saiyan who was righteous of Heart called Yamoshi. This Saiyan lived long ago before Saiyan lived at Planet Vegeta. He caused a rebellion against the other Saiyans with five of his other comrades. When Yamoshi was cornered by the warriors, he became a Super Saiyan. This means that Yamoshi was the first Super Saiyan to ever exist. Still, Yamoshi was outnumbered and was defeated at the hands of his fellow Saiyans. However, his legend was passed down the generations.
