One of the eight finalists in the World Martial Arts Tournament, Bacterian is an enormous and powerful fighter. But Bacterian’s most powerful weapon has nothing to do with his incredible strength - it’s his odor! Bacterian has never taken a bath in his whole life! As such, he is perhaps the smelliest person alive. Bacterian uses this to his advantage. He waits for his opponent to grab their nose, then he attacks!

When he’s not fighting, Giran has a voracious appetite, and enjoys washing down his considerable meals with a few cold glasses of milk.
Goku:
Taught martial arts by his late adoptive grandfather, Gohan, who raised him out in the wilderness. Goku is extremely strong, agile, and virtually fearless.

Namu wanting to repay Master Roshi for his kindness of the water capsule, dresses up as Master Roshi and cheers Goku on in the crowd. Everyone is then convinced Jackie Chun is not Master Roshi.

Android 17:
Androids 17 and 18 are teenage androids. They are the ones responsible for the future threat to the Earth, prompting Trunks to come back to this time on Earth from the future to stop them. #17 is a black haired boy and #18 is a cute blond girl. Although she never stops being evil, #18 later softens up a little.

Android 21:
The most dangerous of all Dr. Gero's creations, Android 21 also know as Cell, was created in Dr. Gero's lab 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 himself at any given time from even the smallest component of himself. We discover this in Dragon Ball Z when the good guys believe Cell is destroyed, only to find out that a brain cell has survived. From this cell, Cell regenerates himself and appears out of nowhere once again threatening Earth. One of Cell's only weak points is that his energy is finite. He gains power by draining the energy of his enemies using his scorpion-like tail to do so. Cell has three forms: the imperfect form in which we first see him, the second stage of Cell and the final or Perfect Cell. He reaches Cell Stage Two after absorbing Android 17. When Android 18 is consumed, Cell changes into his third and most powerful form: Perfect Cell. Cell can and does create smaller versions of himself.

Argua:
From the East Quadrant of the Other World. He is unfortunate enough to get paired up with Goku in the 3rd match of the quarterfinals during the Other World Tournament.

She is the one that discovers the capabilities of the Saiyan Scouter and enhances it for their own use. She also takes the lead in finding a spaceship capable of flying to Namek.

She often wears clothing with either her name or "Capsule Corporation" on the item. Bulma has known Goku since he was a young boy. In the original Dragon Ball, Bulma had a crush on Yamcha.

This capability does lead to his ultimate demise as he accidentally and forever changes bodies with a frog.
Caterpy:
From the South quadrant of the Other World. He never had a chance in the Other World Tournament since his first opponent was Goku. Caterpy actually only lost because during the fight he decided to morph into his ultimate form, which takes 1200 years, so the Grand Kai declared Goku the winner because he didn’t want to wait.
Cell:
The most dangerous of all Dr. Gero's creations, Cell, was created in Dr. Gero's lab 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.

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. Chi-Chi would rather him be studying.
Chiaotzu:
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. A strong fighter in the early days, Chiaotzu does not hesitate to throw himself onto Nappa's back and self-destruct in an attempt to save his friends. However, his power level does not increase as dramatically as the other Z fighters. Thus, Chiaotzu is not a major warrior in the later episodes of Dragon Ball Z.
Dabura:
Ruler of the underworld, Dabura has existed for thousands of years and has done countless acts of evil. Dabura was possessed by the dark mage Babidi to do his bidding. Dabura can change his enemies into stone by spitting on them, and will not hesitate to obey his master's commands. That is, until Majin Buu is unleashed and Dabura believes he is too dangerous. Dabura then defies Babidi and tries to eliminate Majin Buu. Dabura changes Piccolo and Krillin into stone. Dabura ends up being eliminated by Majin Buu.
Dende:
The lone survivor from his village on the Planet Namek, Dende was rescued by Krillin and Gohan. Unlike Piccolo and other Namekian warriors, Dende does not possess strong fighting abilities. But he does have another crucial capability: the power to heal. Dende is thus important to the good guys during the battle with Frieza.

Tall and gray with boxing gloves, Evil Buu is the manifestation of all of Buu’s anger. Evil Buu and Majin Buu fight. Evil Buu ends up absorbing Majin Buu into his being. This causes Evil Buu to undergo a great transformation, changing him into the mighty Super Buu.
Frieza:
Haughty, malicious, seemingly invincible and power-hungry with absolutely no compassion, Frieza is feared as the most powerful and evil being in the Universe with no rival being even close to his strength. Upon learning about the legendary Namekian Dragon Balls, Frieza is consumed with a desire to obtain the Dragon Balls, summon the Dragon, and gain his wish for immortality. Then he can rule the entire universe, unrivaled, forever. Understanding the capability of the Saiyans as fighters, he eliminates their planet to destroy the competition. In his search for the Dragon Balls on Namek, he ruthlessly and predictably eliminates all who get in his way. The very mention of his name strikes dread and fear across the universe. Zarbon and Dodoria are Frieza's two evil right hand men. They carry out his requests promptly and without question, knowing Frieza's character too well. Frieza also employs the legendary Ginyu Force to take care of his business. Frieza is a lizard-like creature who can shape-shift into four stages of forms, with each form more powerful than the last.

In this way, he can rule the Earth. Garlic's father had competed for the position of Earth guardian but he was stopped by Kami who discovered his evil intentions. Garlic Junior was granted immortality by the Eternal Dragon Shenron after collecting Earth’s seven Dragon Balls. But he is locked in the Dead Zone, a black void he created. Garlic Junior is from the Makyo Star, and his power level is proportionate to the Makyo Star's distance. Thus when the Makyo Star nears Garlic Junior, his power is increased and he bursts forth from the Dead Zone to once again put Earth in peril.
Gohan:
Named after his adoptive grandfather, Gohan is Goku and Chi-Chi's eldest son. He is idealistic, good and pure like his father. Gohan reveals his tremendous fighting potential when the earth is threatened. His heritage as part Saiyan and part human, make him stronger than if he were of one race alone. With Goku's departure to the next dimension and the eminent arrival of Saiyans stronger than Raditz, Gohan is key to the survival of Earth. Thus Piccolo, a former enemy of his father, joins forces with the good guys and trains Gohan for the upcoming battle. Over time, Gohan becomes friends with Piccolo, looks up to Piccolo and even wears similar clothing. Although initially a wimp, Gohan's training in the wilderness and subsequent fighting make him both brave and loyal. Following the fight on Earth, Gohan is determined to go with Bulma and Krillin to Namek to collect the seven Namekian Dragon Balls and help out his friends on Earth - especially since he feels he let them down during the fight on Earth. Gohan is key to the good guys success on Namek, risking his own life to save Dende, collecting Dragon Balls, traveling to see Guru who awakens a power sleeping within him, battling the Ginyu Force, etc. He will be the first to reach Super Saiyan II stage.
Goku:
Goku is the hero of Dragon Ball Z, the most powerful warrior on earth and the first to become Super Saiyan in over 1000 years. 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 grow up and 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, 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. He originally trained under Master Roshi and wears his symbol until he trains under King Kai. Then he wears King Kai's symbol. Goku grows up and marries Chi-Chi. Together they have two sons: Gohan and Goten. ATTACKS: KAMEHAMEHA - an energy attack launched with both hands from his side, taught by Master Roshi KAIO-KEN - boosts power level turning Goku red-hot, taught by King Kai SPIRIT BOMB - an enormous attack drawing energy from all living things, taught by King Kai.
Goten:
Goten is the second son of Goku and Chi-Chi, and is Gohan’s little brother. Goten loves to train in martial arts. He quickly develops incredibly strong powers (he just naturally goes Super Saiyan) that enable him to fight alongside the adults in their mission to defend earth. Goten’s best friend is Trunks who is approximately one year older. They are often seen together. Goten goofs around when he fights, especially when fused with Trunks as Gotenks, where he makes up countless silly-named attacks. Pure of heart, he’ll quickly jump into danger to help his friends and family.
Gotenks:
Goten and Trunks form this new entity by the Metamoru art of Fusion, which was taught to Goku and is passed on to Goten and Trunks while Goku is back from the Other World. The fusion must occur between two beings of equal power (Trunks has to lower his power level to fuse with Goten), and is accomplished by a goofy looking, mirror-image dance. This type of fusion only lasts 30 minutes, and they must recuperate for one hour before fusing again. Goten and Trunks are first trained in the art of Fusion by Goku and then by Piccolo. They try several times before getting it right, creating two awkwardly formed Gotenks in the beginning. Once perfected, the fused Gotenks is an incredibly powerful fighter. Like Goten and Trunks, Gotenks has an amazing ability to learn moves quickly, and quickly manages to go to Super Saiyan and even Super Saiyan 3 or third stage Super Saiyan after watching Goku do it once.
Grand Kai:
The Grand Kai rules over the four Kai’s. He is second only to Supreme Kai as the overseer of the entire universe. He is also the overseer of the Other World tournament. Grand Kai is reputed as the greatest fighter in the universe, but he’s been out of training for centuries.

Guldo:
Guldo is a short, pudgy, four-eyed creature, Guldo makes up for his lack of strength with his ability to manipulate space and time. He's one of the members of the powerful Ginyu Force. Able to read minds, control objects and stop time, he can easily conquer a much stronger foe.
Guru:
Wise, peace-loving, selfless and good, Guru is the eldest of all Namekians and father to all of his kind. (Namekians are unisex and hatched from eggs.) Guru is also the creator of the Namekian Dragon Balls. When he passes away, the power of the Dragon Balls to summon the Dragon Porunga and have wishes granted, also will pass away. Because Guru is very old and sick, this is a great concern on his planet. Using his powers, Guru brings out the secret power within Krillin and Gohan, and bestows on Dende a powerful healing ability. Guru is guarded by Nail, a strong Namekian warrior trained in all the ancient Namekian fighting techniques.
Hercule:
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. He was the World Martial Art’s Champion of the previous tournament and manages to win the title again by doing a side deal with Number 18, the other finalist for the championship title. Despite his faults, he does the Earth a good turn. He befriends Majin Buu eventually convincing Majin Buu to stop hurting the people of Earth. Unfortunately, this pledge does not last when Majin Buu becomes angry because his puppy is hurt.
Jeice:
Jeice- With an orange face and huge white hair, Jeice is neither super fast or super powerful. He's one of the member of the powerful Ginyu Force. Instead he is a more balanced combination of strength and speed, making him very dangerous.
Jewel:

He hits on Number 18 and tries to get her to throw the match, she answers with a hard blow that sends him soaring out of the ring and gets him disqualified.
Kami:
Kami, guardian of Earth is originally from the Planet Namek. He created the Dragon Balls on Earth. Desiring to be good and pure, Kami cast off his negative evil side which became Piccolo. Thus the two are mysteriously linked. If and when one passes away, the other will pass away also. And of course, if Kami the creator of Earth's Dragon Balls passes away, so will the power of Earth's Dragon Balls. He has some capability of seeing into the future, and can also sense the change when Piccolo starts becoming a better person. Kami brings Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Krillin together for training in the famous Pendulum Room, the center of all past, present and future, and then sends them back to earth to prepare for the Saiyans. When Goku is killed fighting Raditz, Kami takes Goku to the Next Dimension for training with King Kai. Kami lives with his friend Mr. Popo on "Kami’s Lookout," a tower which floats high above the Earth. Later, Kami fuses with Piccolo to make Piccolo stronger.
Kibito:
He is the loyal body guard of Supreme Kai. A strong fighter, he’s lived a long time, though he’s not as old as Supreme Kai. He has the ability to transport himself and others to any other part of the universe. He also has the power to heal those who are injured or near death.
Kilah:
Kilah is a participant in the World Tournament Three and fights in the Battle Royale as well. He doesn’t last very long and with one punch Goten and Trunks disguised as Mighty Mask launch him from the ring.
King Cold:
King Cold is a massive monster with evil ambitions. He is Frieza's father, and is similar to Frieza in many ways. His brutal personality, desire to destroy the world and even his glacial physical appearance and uniform makes the family resemblance to Frieza obvious. It is King Cold that Earth has to thank for 'resurrecting' Frieza following the destruction of Namek when all believe Frieza to have been destroyed. With a new android-like shape, Frieza and his father are headed to Earth!
King Kai:
Living in the 'Next Dimension,' King Kai is known throughout the universe as one of the greatest fighters and martial arts teachers (although his teaching methods are rather unorthodox). 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 humorous, corny sense of humor (he's always telling jokes or puns) as well as great wisdom. Fortunately for our friends, he can communicate telepathically, giving them good advice and warnings in critical situations. Goku trained under King Kai and now wears his symbol. Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Tien, and Piccolo also train under King Kai when they are sent to the 'Next Dimension.' When Goku seeks King Kai in the 'Next Dimension,' King Kai begins his training by having Goku catch Bubbles - no easy task with an energetic monkey and a gravity ten times the force of earth's. Goku catches Bubbles after only three months. His next task is to hit Gregory the grasshopper with a hammer. Goku, impressively, performs this task in three weeks. Only after these tasks increasing Goku's strength and speed, does Kai begin the personal training of Goku. In the 118 days left before the Saiyan's return, 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.

A short, bald warrior, 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. In fact, Krillin unleashes an incredibly powerful energy blast shaped like a flying disk that can slice through mountaintops. Goku constantly encourages Krillin to have confidence in his own abilities as Krillin learns to be a remarkable fighter--that is, for an earthling. Loyal, courageous and dedicated to his friends, Krillin is willing to fight against the Saiyans even though he doesn't want to die and knows that he can't be brought back to life again by the Dragon Balls. Krillin and Gohan become very close friends through their adventures on Earth and Namek, and Krillin would do anything for Gohan.

Majin Buu:
Majin Buu was conjured into existence long ago by the evil wizard Bibidi. A powerful fighter who has destroyed many planets in his past, Majin Buu’s body is “rubbery” giving him great advantage in battles. He has now been unleashed by Bibidi’s son, Babidi, to destroy Earth. Like many of the bad guys in Dragon Ball Z, Majin Buu exists in multiple forms. The series starts off with child-like Majin Buu, in his more evil being called Evil Buu and in an even more powerful form called Super Buu. He is in his Evil Buu form very briefly before transforming to Super Buu. The Super Buu form is his final form and is often referred to as Kid Buu. Child-like, Majin Buu does not have a strongly developed sense of good and bad. He agrees to stop hurting people when he discovers it bothers Hercule. Unfortunately the threat to Earth is not over. For from Majin Buu, Evil Buu emerges.

Master Roshi:
An ancient and wise master of martial arts, Roshi has accumulated great power and knowledge. He’s completely bald and has a long, white beard. 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. He originally trained Goku and Krillin when they were young boys. 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.
Mighty Mask:
He would have been a participant in the World Tournament Three if Trunks hadn’t knocked him out and taken his costume so that Goten and him could fight in the adult division.

Fellow warrior and Saiyan with Vegeta, Nappa comes to earth with Vegeta to destroy it. This muscular Saiyan does much of the early fighting on earth including eliminating Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu either directly or indirectly throughthe Saibamen. Nappa may have more brawn than brain and gets overexcited and careless when fighting. Vegeta coaches him to calm down and states that he can win the fight. It is during his Kamehameha beam attack on Gohan and Krillin that Goku swoops in with his Kaio-ken attack to thwart Nappa. Nappa is inferior to and afraid of Vegeta - and for good reason. When Nappa loses the fight to Goku, Vegeta turns on him and immediately eliminates him for his weakness.
North Kai:
The Earth is in the North Quandrant of the universe, thus the being we know as King Kai is also known as North Kai.
Olibu:

Ox-King:
This giant of a man is Chi-Chi’s father. Once a great fighter, he trained under Master Roshi alongside Goku’s adoptive father, Gohan, but he rarely fights any more.

Originally from the far away planet Namek (although Piccolo doesn't know this for a long time), 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, but as the story unfolds, their bond becomes stronger. While training Goku's son Gohan for the upcoming battle against the Saiyans, Piccolo develops a special bond with Gohan. Through Gohan, the only person who has ever been a friend to him, Piccolo starts changing character for the better. He ends up sacrificing his own life to save Gohan.

A strong, powerful Saiyan warrior, Raditz comes to Earth originally to look for Goku, his brother. Angry and intolerant, Raditz can't understand why it has taken so long for his little brother to destroy the helpless humans. Ruthless like all the Saiyans, Raditz plays on Goku's emotions lying to his confused brother to avoid being destroyed. The minute he is saved however, he instantly turns on Goku.

And, unfortunately, his Scouter (technologically advanced eyepiece which gives location and power rating of opponents) transmits information about the Dragon Balls to the Saiyans.

Spopovich defeats Videl in the tournament, drains power from Gohan and uses this energy to feed the Buu cocoon.

The Ginyu Force:
Evil and powerful, the Ginyu Force is hailed as the most powerful team in the universe. It is composed of five members, each one very powerful and possessing unique attacks and fighting advantages. When Dodoria and Zarbon are unable to eliminate our friends and collect the seven Namekian Dragon Balls, Frieza summons the Ginyu Force. Between battles, they enjoy such goofy past times as watching soap operas, playing "paper, rock, scissors" to decide who will fight who, and making bets over chocolate nut bars, their favorite food. The Ginyu Force strike various poses during their battle. While individually and collectively they are very strong, each member is conceited and competitive which leads to their downfall.
