SON GOKU
|
|
Goku (aka Kakarott) is rather naive and a good person at heart, qualities at odds with the violent nature of his Saiyan-jin heritage. He is often seen riding a yellow cloud, Kintoun, and as a child sported a monkey tail. He begins his journey for the Dragonballs and along the way he grows up, raises a family, learns about his past, and saves the world!

PICCOLO

|
With green skin, regenerating limbs, and antennae, Piccolo was first introduced as one of Goku's first enemies. From the planet Namek, Piccolo was also after the Dragonballs, but ends up training Goku and later Goku'sa son Gohan.
|
|
SON GOHAN
|
Goku's first son, Gohan surpasses even his father's strength and power level, even though he is only half Saiyan-jin! He is taught by Piccolo, and although he excels in martial arts, he lacks a love of fighting and prefers scholarly pursuits.
|
|
VEJITA
|
|
|
Once the Prince of the Saiya-jin, Vejita has kept his arrogance and conceit. He is quite obssessed with being the strongest fighter, training constantly to make himself a better warrior. He reluctantly joins forces with Goku and his friends when a greater evil threatens the world.
|
|
TRUNKS
|
|
A mysterious young man from the future or a baby in the present? The mysterious "future" Trunks travels back in time to prevent certain catastrophe by saving Goku's life. Meanwhie, "Chibi" Trunks grows up as the best friend of Goten, Goku's second son.

KRILLIN
|
|
|
A short little monk distinguished by six red spots on his forehead, Kuririn is Goku's best friend, and trained with Goku under Muten Roshi. He begins as one of the weaker fighters in Dragonball, but through countless battles and growing self-esteem, he becomes one of the strongest.
|
|
TENSHINHAN
|
The telepathic, 3-eyed Tenshinhan was pretty powerful during the first series, second only to Goku. Like other characters in Dragonball however, he was reduced to a minor figure in the rest of the series.
|
|
YAMCHA
|
|
|
Yamucha "the Desert Bandit" is also another reformed bad guy. He is painfully shy around girls, and wanted to collect the dragonballs to wish for a girlfriend. He's often seen with Pooaru, his little flying feline sidekick. He is a major character in the first series, but is more often dead than alive in DBZ.
