To play devil's advocate, I think it's silly to consider Goku as a "non-video game character". With the exception of the N64, he's appeared in every single main Nintendo console and handheld since the NES and has appeared in about 150 different video games. Not sure how many games a character has to be in for him to be considered a video game character. As crazy as it would be, he has the video game and Nintendo history to have a slim chance at least
