First appears after the death of his father, Piccolo Daimou, Piccolo vowed to avenge his father's death by killing goku.  Before Piccolo Daimou dies he spits out an egg which is the Piccolo we know today.  Piccolo is introduced as a villian, making his entrance in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament under the sign-up name "Ma Junior".  The final battle is between Goku and Piccolo.  Goku wins by using a head butt which knocks piccolo out of the ring.  Piccolo  leaves and trains harder, in order to kill Goku.  The duo must work together to beat raddtitz, Goku's evil brother.  Piccolo succeeds in killing radditz and Goku at the same time.  He learns that 2 stronger saiyans arrive in 1 year.  So he takes Gohan and trains him for 1 year.  Over the year, Piccolo's heart becomes softned by Gohan's influence.  Piccolo then becomes one of the good guys.  As the series goes on, Piccolo becomes a leader when Goku is gone.  When he merges with Kami, he gains wisdom and uses it to his advantage in battles.  He serves as a leader, and a united force among the Z fighters.  Late in DB/GT he makes the ultimate sacrifice, for the earth he learns to love.
