Goku
The main character of Dragon Ball, and a substantial character in DBZ,
Goku was sent to Earth as an infant. He could easily eliminate all life
on the planet, but he falls into a ravine and hits his head a baby (and
becomes a “pure heart”). Now with his orders lost, Goku becomes a
friendly boy who fights on the side of justice. He's not too
intelligent, but a natural when it comes to the martial arts and
manipulating his Ki (energy). By far, Goku has the most abilities of
any of the Z warriors (Cell is the only character with more). He
marries Chi-Chi, daughter of Ox King; and together they have two sons,
Gohan and Goten. At the end of DBZ, Gohan and Videl have a daughter,
Pan. Goku then becomes a grandfather. Emperor Pilaf uses the black star
Dragon Balls to turn Goku into a child again. On a journey with Pan and
Trunks, they go through many adventures to retrieve the black star
Dragon Balls. Furthermore, Goku is the biggest pig in the entire
universe and is always famished (and eats like 20 platters of food for
each meal^.^)
Gohan
Son of Goku, he is initially trained by Piccolo at a very young age
after the battle with Raditz. He looks up to Piccolo for being such a
great fighter, and tries to imitate him by wearing similar clothes. He
has the potential to become the most powerful being in the universe,
yet since he cannot always fully utilize his strength, he can be
defeated. Gohan is the first Saiyan to go to the Super Saiyan 2
(ascended saiyan) level, but after the Cell saga he spends little time
training and focuses on his studies. Also in DBZ, Gohan portrays the
role of the Great Saiyaman, in order to save the city. Later in DBGT,
Gohan doesn’t play that big of a role, but he wore geeky glasses to
make him look more intelligent.
Goten
Goten is the second son of Goku and Chi-Chi. He and Trunks spend
most of their time together, and are very good friends. Goten exhibited
high power when he went Super Saiyan at the age of seven. He bears a
very strong resemblance to Goku, and wears a miniature version of
Goku's karate Gi. Goten is usually happy, but has a habit for throwing
tantrums to get something he wants. He had the privilege of learning
the fusion dance (with Chibi Trunks) and fusing into Gotenks to defeat
Majin Buu. When he becomes older, he is obsessed with girls and talking
on the phone.
Pan
Pan, a.k.a Pan-Chan, is Goku's granddaughter. She is the most
powerful female in all of Dragonball. Pan is 1/4 Saiyan, and she is
Gohan and Videl's daughter. Pan is very adventurous, has a very feisty
attitude, and can get into trouble, usually with Trunks and Goku.
Trunks, Goku, and Pan go everywhere together (Pan does not like being
left alone).
Vegeta
Vegeta was named after the Planet Vegeta. Vegeta's father is the
king of all Saiyans (King Vegeta) so that makes Vegeta the Prince.
Vegeta escaped the death of his planet because he was impatient and
wanted a real assignment from Frieza and no more combat drills. Vegeta
lands on Earth to kill Goku and gather the Dragon Balls to wish for
immortality. But his plans go bad when he finds out the hard way, that
Goku is stronger than him. Vegeta is almost killed by Goku's best
friend, Krillin, but Goku decided to spare his life so that someday
they can fight again. Vegeta goes off to recovery and gets healed and
travels to the planet Namek in search of the second set of Dragon
Balls. He runs into trouble when he finds out that Frieza is also on
the planet. But lucky for him Goku and his friends also are on Namek,
so Vegeta decides to team up with them to kill Frieza and make his
wish. But instead Vegeta gets killed and is wished back with the Dragon
Balls. Vegeta spends the next couple of years training to become
stronger than Goku but once again during the cell games Goku proves
that he is better than Vegeta. When Babidi comes to earth to resurrect
a horrible monster named Majin Buu, Vegeta makes a deal with Babidi to
unleash the evil that once was in his heart so that he could get a
unimaginable amount of power. Vegeta uses this power to finally beat
Goku in a fight. When Vegeta kills himself (while fighting Majin Buu)
and goes to other world he finds out that Goku hid his true power from
Vegeta and that Goku is a Super Saiyan 3. Furious that Goku is still
stronger than him Vegeta refuses to help kill Majin buu. But Vegeta
finally sets his Saiyan Pride aside and decides to team up with Goku to
kill Buu. While Vegeta is watching Goku fight Kid Buu Vegeta excepts
the fact that Goku is always going to be stronger than him no matter
what he does. In DBGT, Vegeta does a lot to help Goku (and turns into
an SS4 artificially). Vegeta was also taken over by Baby, because he
thought that Vegeta was the world’s strongest Saiyan ever.
Trunks
Trunks is the first child of Vegeta and Bulma. There are two Trunks'
that exist in the universe: Future Trunks and Chibi Trunks. "Future
Trunks" comes from a parallel universe 14 years in the future where
evil androids ruled the Earth. He goes back in time after the death of
Frieza to prepare the Z warriors for the androids' arrival. So as not
to prevent his own birth, he tells no one of his heritage, except Goku.
"Chibi Trunks" is born a little before Future Trunks returns to his own
time. Trunks likes to hang out with Goten and they are very good
friends. When he and Goten are together, he has a tendency to get them
in trouble. Unfortunately for him, he is an only child. Trunks has
purple hair and displays extreme levels of power, he reaches Super
Saiyan when Mirai Gohan taught him how to (in one of the movies). He
finally turned into a Super Saiyan when his feelings were strong toward
Mirai Gohan when he died. In DBGT, he goes along with Goku and Pan to
find the black star Dragon Balls.
