Heroes
Goku
Goku is the most powerful warrior on Earth. When
the Saiyans arrive, Goku learns the mysterious secret of his own past: he is a
Saiyan formerly named Kakarot. Goku was sent to Earth as a baby to destroy the
planet, but a head injury as a child scrambled Goku's programming. Instead of
growing up to become a destructive super-warrior, he became innocent and pure of
heart, fighting for good.
Goku is peaceful, good natured, honest, loving to his family and friends,
loyal, trustworthy, and brave. If he has a weakness, it is his trusting nature.
He always finds the good in people when others don't see it, though Goku's
enemies sometimes take advantage of his naive trust.
Gohan
Named after his adoptive grandfather, Gohan is Goku and Chi-Chi's eldest son.
He is idealistic, good, and pure like his father.
With Goku's departure to the next dimension and the eminent arrival of the
Saiyans, Gohan is key to the survival of Earth. Thus Piccolo, a former enemy of
his father trains Gohan for the upcoming battle. Although initially a wimp,
Gohan's training in the wilderness and subsequent fighting make him both brave
and loyal.
Krillin
As a young boy, Krillin studied martial arts with Goku under Master Roshi.
Originally, he and Goku were fierce rivals, but now they are best friends. A
short, bald warrior, loyal Krillin provides comic relief in tense situations as
he tries to keep up with Goku and some of the other more powerful warriors. A
good fighter on his own accord, he's always there to help Goku. He can and has
saved his friend's life more than once. Goku constantly encourages Krillin to
have confidence as he learns to be a remarkable fighter.
Piccolo
Goku's one time archenemy, Piccolo is the second strongest being on the Earth.
He has powerful energy blasts, can split into two or four separate entities, and
has the ability to regenerate limbs. Originally from the far away planet Namek,
Piccolo starts off fighting Goku to rule the world. When the Saiyans arrive he
joins forces with Goku. At first it is an uneasy alliance, soon enough their
bond becomes stronger. While training Gohan, Piccolo develops a special bond
with the little boy. Through Gohan, the only person who has ever been a friend
to him, Piccolo starts changing for the better.
Trunks
Trunks is the son of Bulma - a headstrong, technical genius - and Vegeta -
one of the most powerful fighters in the Dragon Ball Z universe. His exact age
is not certain, but he first appears in Dragon Ball Z as a teen. He is from the
future and has witnessed a threat to Earth which cannot be stopped. He has come
back in time to try to save the future Earth, only to find our heroes in Earth
facing their own peril.Much to the amazement of the Z gang, Trunks immediately turns Super Saiyan
and defeats Frieza and King Cold. He gives Goku medicine to prevent his death
from heart disease and tells them of Earth's coming predicament. The Z Fighters
immediately go into training, and Trunks returns to his own time.Trunks returns to our timeline again in the Android Saga to ensure that the
Androids do arrive on Earth. He is also born during this saga, so we have the
opportunity to see him both as a teenager and a baby at the same time. He
continues to exist as a boy and a teen until the end of the Cell Saga, when the
older Trunks returns to his original timeline.
Vegeta
Vegeta is a powerful Saiyan prince. He and his comrade Nappa are two of the last
surviving Saiyans. They come to Earth to destroy all life and sell the planet.
Though physically small, Vegeta can power up to unbelievable levels. Ambitious
and determined, Vegeta wants the Dragon Balls to gain immortality.
Tien and chiatzu
Tien
Tien is a three-eyed man originally trained by one of Master Roshi's rivals,
though he eventually becomes a Z Fighter. He beat Goku at a worldwide martial
arts tournament, is able to stop a waterfall with a blast, and can crush rocks
on his head. His fighting techniques include the ability to hover in the air,
throw concentration bombs, blind with flashes of light, and split into two or
four separate entities. Tien is excited about being trained by Kami and willing
to fight against the Saiyans despite the odds. He volunteers to be the first to
fight against the Saibamen, wins the battle and goes on to fight against the
Saiyans. Tien can communicate telepathically with Chiaotzu, his best friend.
Chiatzu
A master of telepathy, Chiaotzu has the power to stop people in their tracks and
to communicate telepathically. This white-skinned, red-checked little being is
the devoted companion of Tien.
Yamcha
Yamcha is a longtime friend and ally of Goku's, though he was once a notorious
bandit. He is sometimes accompanied by Puar, his devoted cat companion. He is
anxious and willing to be trained by Kami and join the upcoming battle against
the Saiyans. Yamcha and Bulma were once a couple, but eventually Bulma moves on
to Vegeta

Enemies
Raditz
A strong Saiyan warrior, Raditz comes to Earth originally to look for his
brother, Goku. Angry and intolerant, Raditz can't understand why it has taken so
long for his little brother to destroy the humans. Ruthless like all the
Saiyans, he reveals that two even more powerful Saiyans will be coming to Earth
in one year in order to destroy it. Unfortunately, his Scouter transmits
information about the nature of the Dragon Balls to the Saiyans
Nappa
Nappa arrives on Earth with Vegeta seeking to conquer it. This muscular Saiyan
soon gets very involved in vicious battles with Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, and
Chiaotzu. Nappa has more brawn than brain and gets overexcited and careless when
fighting.
Frieza
Frieza loves death and destruction, and he's one of the most sadistic characters
in the Dragon Ball Universe! He thoroughly enjoys making his enemies suffer
before mercilessly sending them to their painful deaths. After learning of the
Dragon Balls, Frieza races to Planet Namek in order to track down the magic orbs
and wish for his own immortality. Without even death to fear, Frieza will become
a truly unstoppable force of evil!
Ginyu Force
The Ginyu Force is an elite team of powerful warriors. Unlike the rest of
Frieza's minions, these mercenaries have earned their master's respect. Despite
their evil and ruthless nature, the Ginyu Force does adhere to their own
uniquely twisted code of honor. Don't be fooled by their devastating dance
moves, the Ginyu Force will happily crush anyone who fails to tread lightly in
their presence!
Androids
A reckless anarchist, an incomplete weapon, and a beautiful face that conceals a
terrible power - these are the personalities of the trio of Androids waging a
war to conquer the Earth. Android 16 is a synthetic giant with enough
destructive force to destroy his allies single handedly. Android 17 was once
flesh and blood, but human instincts no longer hold any power of this insane
monster. And last, but certainly not least, there is Android 18. This horrifying
femme fatale has the looks that kill - and a mean streak to match. The onslaught
of these mechanized menaces places the human race in perhaps the greatest danger
it has ever known.
Cell
The most dangerous of all Dr. Gero's creations, Cell was created as a genetic
experiment. He comes complete with a self-destruct feature, a scorpion-like tail
that opens up to absorb the energy of his opponents, and instructions to wreak
revenge on the Androids which caused Dr. Gero's downfall. Cell contains the DNA
of the mightiest warriors of the universe including Goku, Piccolo and Vegeta.
Possessing the DNA of these great warriors, Cell is able to fight with their
attacks. With these great forces combined Cell is an almost invincible being.
One of his greatest advantages is being able to regenerate at any given time
from even the smallest component of himself. He gains power by draining the
energy of his enemies using his scorpion-like tail.
Babidi
Babidi, a magical creature with unusual powers, wishes to bring Majin Buu back
to life. Babidi uses his powers to control people by bringing out the evil in
their hearts. His father, Bibidi, was the creator of Buu.
Majin Buu
Buu, or Majin Buu, was conjured into existence long ago by the evil wizard
Bibidi. A powerful fighter who has destroyed many planets, Buu's rubbery body
gives a him great advantage in battles. Like many of the villains in Dragon Ball
Z, Buu exists in multiple forms, some more evil and more powerful than others

King kai
King Kai is known throughout the universe as one of the greatest fighters and
martial arts teachers. His house is on a tiny planet at the end of Snake Way.
The small planet has ten times the gravity of Earth, and is thus an ideal
training site. His companions include a goofy monkey, named Bubbles, and a
grasshopper, named Gregory. King Kai possesses a corny sense of humor, as well
as great wisdom.Fortunately for our friends, he can communicate telepathically, giving them
good advice and warnings in critical situations.King Kai teaches Goku the "Kaio-ken" and how to gather energy from the planet
into one great fighting energy ball. Later King Kai takes on the training of
Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo using the same techniques that were
successful with Goku.
Master Roshi
An ancient and wise master of martial arts, Roshi has accumulated great power
and knowledge. Because he has lived for countless years on a deserted island
with only a turtle for companionship, he is also called the "Turtle Hermit." His
home, the Kame house, continues to serve as a gathering place for the good guys.
Although he may appear strange, frail, and harmless, Master Roshi is indeed a
great warrior. The first Earthling to ever understand how to nurture and control
the Power of Light, Roshi trains Goku and Krillin in its use. It was Master
Roshi who taught Goku the Kamehameha attack.
Supreme kai
The Supreme Kai is the highest ruler remaining after Buu's elimination of the
other Kais years ago. He becomes the Supreme Kai by default, ruling over Grand
Kai and thus all life in the universe. He comes to Earth during the World
Martial Arts Tournament to warn Goku about Babidi's plan to revive Buu.
Mr Satan
An expert at PR, Hercule has always been a champion at gaining credit for
himself. He is not always the tough guy he appears to be, in fact he can be
quite cowardly.
Bulma
In Dragon Ball, Bulma was a mixed up teenager with blue hair and a personality
quirk that wouldn't allow her to shut up for a second. Now, she's blossomed into
a mixed up woman with that same personality quirk. She is a mechanical genius
who can operate and fix anything. For instance, she discovers and enhances the
capabilities of the Saiyan Scouter. Bulma also takes the lead in finding a
spaceship capable of flying to Namek, and she designed the Dragon Radar, which
tracks the locations of the Dragon Balls. Her father is Dr. Brief, of the famous
Capsule Corporation.
Chi Chi
The headstrong wife of Goku, some say Chi-Chi is the most powerful woman on
Earth (because she can control Goku). Her father, Ox-King, trained her to be a
formidable fighter in her own right. In Dragon Ball Z, Chi-Chi is mainly seen as
a loving wife and doting mother, concerned and protective, perhaps even
over-protective, of her family. She is always encouraging Gohan with his studies
and often finds herself stubbornly at odds with Gohan's involvement with the
martial arts.
Videl
Videl is a seventeen years old expert at martial arts. She is the daughter of
Hercule, the Martial Arts Champion of the World. Videl attends Orange Star High
School with Gohan. She is often called upon by the city to aid in police
matters. Videl is determined to unmask the Great Saiyaman, and when she finds
out that it's Gohan, she threatens to tell everyone his secret unless he joins
the upcoming tournament. Gohan also teaches her how to fly. Videl fights in the
World Martial Arts Tournament.
