Update: Conan. Every shonen protagonist even remotely Goku-like (including Goku) is based off of Conan from Future Boy Conan. Hayao Miyazaki set the standard in 1978!

Future Boy Conan is such a wonderful show. It's a shame it's never been given a proper English language release! A lot of Anglophones have no idea how influential it was. In Japan it's seen as one of the greatest works of animation OF ALL TIME.
Conan's imprint on the Shonen genre goes way beyond his good nature + grotesque strength. The most enduring thing about him is his indomitable will, and how he wields it without being an asshole. He's absolutely trustworthy. You have to be truly evil to stand against him.
