Masako Nozawa once had her house burn down, an event she mentioned as the reason she was late for work once, having to borrow clothes from her friend, highlighting her dedication despite the personal disaster. This anecdote shows her commitment to her roles, even when facing extreme circumstances like losing her home in a fire.

Following the death of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama in March 2024, Masako Nozawa, the iconic voice actress for Goku, expressed deep shock and grief, vowing to stay by Goku's side until her own strength gives out, remembering Toriyama's trust in her to care for the character, and urging him to rest in peace. She stated her head felt empty and she didn't want to believe the news, but Toriyama's words, "You will take care of Goku, won't you?" motivated her to continue.
