| Goku is the series' main character. He belongs to the Saiyajin, a race of blood-thirsty space warriors with a genetic predisposition to violence and the capablity of becoming inmensely strong relatively easily and becoming giant apes with every fool moon. While still a baby he was sent to Earth in a space pod to grow up and take over the planet while the other Saiyajin came to pick him up. Upon his arrival, his pod crashed and he was left in the wild. An old martial arts expert, Son Gohan, picked him up and adopted him. Goku had the ferocious instincts of a Saiyajin until he fell down on his head and lost his memory. After the accident, he became a really docile and sociable baby. Since his pod was destroyed, Goku never learned anything about his rigins, or and eplanation to why he has a tail until the arival of his older brother, Radditz, to Earth. He has saved the Earth a million times. Despite being a low-class warrior according to the Saiyajin caste system, he becomes the most powerful warrior in the Universe... at least for a while... |
| Bulma is the first person Goku meets other than his grandfather and they become great friends because of their quest for the Dragon Balls. She was incredibly bored, so she started gathering the Dragon Balls to summon Shen Long and wish for a boyfrend. Bulma plays a key role in the series,because she designed the Dragon Radar and all the spaceships and robots our heroes use. Eventually, she marries Vegeta and has 2 children, Trunks and Bra. | Bulma |

Roshi
was, for many years, the most powerful man on Earth, but
then came Goku and changed everything. In his youth he
battled many powerful enemies and became the hero of
mankind. He created the Kamehameha blast. He's a rotten old fart, but still incredibly strong. He's 'bout 400 years old, but took a Life Potion at Karim's Tower and no longer ages... in fact, he gets peppier with time... He's a dirty old perv that keeps gettin in trouble for peepin at women. He trained Goku, Krilin and Yamcha, and even fought and beat them at 2 Tanka-ichi, but after the 23rd he started loosing fighting relevance until he became just a humorous relief... wich sucks, coz he was one of my favorites. |
| Goku first encountered Yamcha after capturing Oolong. Yamcha was a desert thief that attacked every poor bastard that set foot in his dominion. After learning Goku and Bulma had 4 of the 7 Dragon Balls, he attacked them, but lost to Goku, so he planted a homing device on their car to follow them... he wanted the Dragon Balls to wish for loosing his fear of women. After following them for a while, he meets Mutan Roshi and joins the team (and dates Bulma after a while) after Roshi volunteered to train Goku after he did a Kamehameha just by looking at Roshi do it. He's a brave and powerful warrior, but starts sucking as Dragon Ball Z develops. I dare to guess his downfall started when Bulma Falls in love with Vegeta and dumps him. | Yamcha

| Krilin was Goku's training partner and the closest to a brother to him. At first, he took on martial arts just to meet girls. He gets Roshi to train him by givin him some Playboys. He's brave, powerful and smart, but sometimes gets too cocky. He later falls in love with one of their enemies, C18. He eventually marries her and has a daughter, Marron. Krilin's constantly haunted by the traumas of his past, coz he even names his daughter after his ex-girlfriend. |
