Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle – How to Set the Game to Japanese on iOS and Android?

Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle is a hugely popular mobile fighting game with over 290 million players worldwide. Some prefer the Japanese version, particularly to hear the original voice of Masako Nozawa, the iconic voice actress of Son Goku. If that’s your case, here’s how to install it on iOS or Android.

On iPhone, you need to go through a small workaround in the settings. Go to your Apple account settings and change your country or region to "Japan." You will have to enter billing information, but don’t worry, you can use fictional details. For example, the postal code "150-0000" (Shibuya) works just fine. Once this change is made, open the App Store, search for "Dokkan," and download the Japanese version of the game. Afterward, you can switch your phone back to your original language if needed.

On Android, the process is even simpler. Just open the Google Play Store, search for "Dokkan Battle," and scroll down the page until you find the Japanese version. Download it, and you’re good to go.

If you don’t speak Japanese, there are several ways to get by. Some screen translation apps can help you understand menus in real-time, and with a bit of practice, you’ll memorize the essential options. There are also many online guides, both in articles and YouTube videos, explaining how to navigate this version of the game.

A few things to keep in mind: the Japanese version often gets new content earlier than the international versions, and some events or characters may be exclusive. However, be careful with in-app purchases, as they will be in yen and the descriptions will be in Japanese, so it’s best to be sure of what you’re buying.

Playing Dokkan Battle in Japanese can really enhance the experience, especially for fans of the original voice acting. Whether on iOS or Android, installing it is easy. Just be cautious when changing your Apple account region, as it may affect other services, so think it through before making the switch.
