Information:
Goku's father. He only appears once in the manga series,
in a comment made by Freezer.
During the Planet Namek Episodes, Freezer recognizes
Goku's face, and recalls that he had seen it before when he was destroying
Planet Vegeta. The face is similar to the leader of the stubborn resistance
movement against Freezer's invasion, Bardock.
The whole saga about Bardock and the origins of Goku
is portrayed in a TV Special, Tatta HitoriNo Saishuu Kessen (The Lone
Warrior and the Final Battle). He is a lower level warrior, and a cold
parent; he does not care much for his newborn Goku, who has low power.
Later, he faces Freeza alone, but perishes in a huge energy ball that
also destroys Planet Vegeta. His trademark is his bandana.
