| Goku is the main character in the Dragonball series. The name "Son Goku" is taken from a Chinese mythological figure. Son Goku is goku's full name (son is his last name and goku is his first name) Goku is a member of the fighting race the Saiyans from planet Vegita. He, like all Saiyans, has a simian tail. With it he can transform into a large ferocious ape (Oozarou) and become very destructive. As an infant he was sent on a mission to help condition earth for take over, but a childhood head injury made him forget his primary objective. Thus becoming the gentle and sweetly innocent person we see now. As a child Goku had his tail removed and is no longer able to transform into his Oozaru formGoku's strength lies in his passion to fight and to be the best fighter. He strives on fighting strong opponents. When it seems that Goku is beat he always comes up with something to fend off defeat. He was trained by great teachers such as Master Roshi ( Kame-sennin,), Korin (that cat with the sensu beans), and Kaio-sama (King Ki). When Goku matures (at around age 16-17) he marries Ox King's daughter Chi Chi. Together they have two children: Gohan and Goten. Goku is the first to surpass all super saiyan levels up to SSJ4. He is always willing to risk his life for others and in the end he surrenders himself to the eternal dragon Shenron so that all of his friends can be wished back.. |
