Cow King

The Cow King was one of Master Roshi's students when he was young. He trained with the legendary Son Gohan, Goku's grandfather. Once they completed their training, they split up, and Guymaoh became the ruler of a kingdom in the East. He was feared for his size and temper, but his attitude changed when Mt. Frypan was about to explode. Goku goes after Master Roshi to put out the fire. Roshi does so, and lectures The Cow King. He has a daughter, Chichi, who ends up marrying Goku.

Chi Chi

    Guymaoh's little girl was obnoxious from the begining. Ever since she was little she was one of'em girls that only dream about marriage and keep annoying people with it. Even so, she was an excelent fighter, and becomes even stronger with time. She makes Goku promise her he would marry her when they were little, but Goku thought they were talking about some kind of food, so he forgets about it. 10 years later, Chi Chi fights Goku at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai to remind him of his promise. Goku still didn't get what was that all about, but agrees to marry her becuase he had given her his word after pushing her oput of the platform.    

She becomes a devoted mother and a nagging wife, with absolute control over Goku, thus becoming the most powerful being in the Universe.

 

Launch     Launch was hired by Krilin to clean KAme House while they trained for the Tenkaichi Budoukai. She's mostly nothing but comical relief to the series. For some reason, she changes to a completely different personality when she sneezes. Her evil side, Kushami, is blonde, her good side is brunette. She falls for Tenshinhan during the 22nd Tenkaichi Budoukai, but never gets anywhere and is gradually confined to oblivion.

From the 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai

The 21st Tenkaichi Budokai was Goku and Krilin's first Tournament .This is where Goku and Krilin realize de enormous power they have gained over the past 7 months of training. After easily defeating hundreds of oponents, Goku, Krilin and Yamcha get to teh finals. Master Roshi enters the tournament in disguise to prevent his students from wining the tournament, coz otherwise they would think they know it all and loose thei ambition for more. The fights were held like this: Krilin vs Bacterian; Jackie Chun vs Yamcha; Goku vs Giran and Namu vs Ranfan

This blonde guy had a number of apearances in the series. His name is never revealed, but hus annoying fight comments became world famous. He's one of Goku's greatest fans, because he loves to see strong fighters use ki techniques. That's why he was so excited when he saw Gohan and Goku's friends enter the Final Tournament, since he was really disappointed after 15 years of "boring" tournaments.     The Announcer at the Tenkaichi Bodoukai
Bacterian     This repulsive individual was Krilin's first oponent. All of his special powers were based upon his filth. Farts, belches, foul breath and body odor were some of the weapons in his arsenal. Bacterian's strategy was to smell so bad his oponents wouldn't be able to fight. The trick doesn't work with Krilin, since he has no nose.
This was Master Roshi in disguise. He entered the tournament to prevent Goku and Krilin from winin the tournament and burst with pride, In his first match he beats Yamcha, pushing him off the platform with an air blast from his palm. He sweats a little against Krilin in the next fight, but he manages to knock him out. He faces Goku on the finals, and after a long battle Goku becomes Oozaru with the full moon and starts tearing the whole place apart. Roshi deduced it was the Moon that caused the transformation, so he blew it to bits with a Super Kamehameha (wich means he killed all the Usagi-Dan) and won the tournament.     Jackie Chun
Namu     Namu was a fairly strong fighter, but with no special powers or abbilities. He entered the tournament to win enough money to bring water to his town, wich had been suffering fromthe worst drought in their history. He defeats Ranfan in their first fight after a long fight, but looses to Goku. Roshi gives him a capsule to put all the water he needed in it in exchange of dressiong up like him between the crowds to convince Yamcha he wasn't Roshi. He competes in the next Tournament, but forfits to Tenshinhan.
Ranfan was the first woman ever to be in a tournament. She used her delicate looks to trick her oponents into dropping their guard and then beating the crap out of'em. She's not really strong, but for the time she appeared she was spectacular. she fights Namu in hr first match, and takes off her clothes so he would be too embarrased to look at her, but Namu knocks her out with his eyes closed.     Ranfan
Giran     This strange dinosuar appeared a couple of times durign teh series. He's the leader of a community of similar monsters. He spits a strange rubber-like substance known as Guru-Guru Gum, that becomes rock-hard with air. He fights Goku in his first match, but duringh their fight Goku's tail grew back again (it was cut in Pilaf's Castle) and he became much more powerful. Giran surrenders after seeing Goku kick a wall.

And the show goes on...

Snow's the little girl dressed in red standing next to Goku. When Goku's plane crashes near Jingle Village, she rescued him from freezing to death and tells him about the Muscle Tower.

Hatchan is that Frankenstein robot thing standing on the other side of Goku. He was one of Dr. Gero's first creations, and just like 16, he turned out good. Murasaki frees him from his cage to fight Goku, but Hatchan refuses and jions Goku.

After rescuing the Chief of Jingle Village ( the old man next to Hatchan), Hatchan stays to live in jingle Village, and nor him or snow appear again but until the days of Piccolo Daimaoh.

    C8 (Hatchan) and Snow
Bora and Upa     The 2 natives guard the base of Karin's Tower. Bora is huge and quite strong, but not even as strong as child Goku. Goku saves them from the Red Ribbon Army and becomes their friend. Later on, Bora is killed by Taopaipai. Goku promises his little son, Upa, that he would gather the Dragon Balls to bring his father back to to life. After Bora was brought back to life, the 2 of them are forgotten.
Karin-sama guards Karin's Tower, the passageway from Earth to the Temple in the Skies. He's a really powerful cat, at least in the first series, becuase he was slightly more powerful than Master Roshi, who he trained for 3 years. Goku climbed up Karin's Tower to drink the legendary Water of the Gods... wich was only that: Water... what made him stronger was constantly going up and down the Tower chasing the cat. While it took 3 years for Master Roshi to catch him, it only took Goku 3 days. Karin-sama also grows the Magic Beans that heal the fighter's wounds in battle.     Master Karin

I'm workin on the images, but it ain't no picnic to find images from the first series, much less images of the characters contained in this list, wich are irrelevant.
