As we all know, he wanted to save ink on the B&W pages, but he never said why of all colors he decided on yellow. Or so I thought. From the French edition of The Legendary Manga guide:
Si en Super Saïyen, il a les cheveux hérissés sur la tête, c'est parce qu'au Japon il y a une expression qui dit être fâchée au point d'avoir les cheveux dressés sur la tête. Je les voulais blonds pour donner un côté glamour. En plus, c'est moins fatigant que de les colorier en noir.
If in Super Saiyan, his hair stands on end, it's because in Japan there is an expression that says being angry to the point of having your hair stand on end. I wanted them blond to give a glamorous side. In addition, it's less tiring than coloring them black.
He says he wanted to make it look glamorous. Oddly, this quote doesn't appear in the Spanish edition:
La razón por la que se ponen los pelos de punta al transformarse en supersaiyano viene de la expresión japonesa erizarse los pelos de ira y el cambio de color de pelo realza más la transformación. Además, pintar el pelo de Goku era un fastidio.
For that reason, and to give him a more severe expression, I added an outline to the eyes in the Super Saiyan state. The reason why the hairs stand up when he transforms into a Super Saiyan comes from the Japanese expression to stand on end in anger and the change of hair color enhances the transformation even more. Plus, painting Goku's hair was a pain.
