Goku is the main character throughout the Dragonball series. He is first seen in the Dragonball series. He lives with an old man named Grandpa Gohan until one day G. Gohan was killed and Goku goes on a adventure with Bulma to find seven Dragonball's. While he was searching for the Dragonball's he meets master Roshi who later on trains him along with Krillin. He later marries Chi Chi and they have a son named Gohan. In Dragonball Z, Goku learns that he is really a Saiya-jin from the planet Vegeta. His brother Radditz informs Goku that he was sent to earth as a baby to wipe out the human race. Goku didn't complete his task because while he was an infant he had a head injury and forgot about his job to wipe out the earth's population. Radditz takes Goku's son, Gohan, as a hostage. Goku and Piccolo end up fighting Ridditz in order to save Gohan. Goku sacrifices himself to destroy Radditz and in the end, he dies. While in heaven Goku trained hard for an upcoming battle with two unknown Saiya-jin's. While he was training with King kai, Goku learns a new technique called "Kaio-ken." With his power increased, he goes back to earth (a little late) only to do battle with two new Saiya-jin warriors, Vegeta and Nappa. He easily defeats Nappa and goes on to fight Vegeta, which proves to be a much more difficult battle. In the end, Goku gets beaten when Vegeta turns into his Ozaru form. He is saved when Gohan turns Ozaru and severely injures Vegeta. Right when Krillin was about to kill Vegeta, Goku tells him not to and spares his life. When Goku finally arrived at Namek, his power was much higher then when he first left for the trip and he easily defeats the elite team called the Ginu force. After he learned what was going on at Namek, he meets the captain of the Ginu squad, Captain Ginu. During their battle, Ginu realizes he is no match for Goku and steals his body. Goku is able to get his body back by tricking Ginu and traps him in the body of a frog. Goku is again severely injured and has to be put in a healing chamber. As soon as he gets out of the healing tank he battles one of his worst enemies, Freeza. After an intense battle, he realizes he is no match for Freeza and uses his trump card? the Genki Dama (spirit Bomb). They all think he is defeated, but they soon find out that he isn't when Freeza kills Krillin. Goku gets so enraged, he turns into a Super Saiya-jin. In the end, Goku defeat's Freeza and barely escapes Planet Namek before it explodes. Goku was thrown through space and landed on a far away planet called Yardratt. It is there were he learned the Instantaneous Movement technique. Goku eventually came back to earth, and when he does, he meets Future Trunks. That is when he learns Trunks story and about the androids that will arrive in three years. Goku trains hard, and when the androids arrive, he gets the heart attack that F. Trunks told him about. He uses the medicine Trunks gave him and is eventually healed, but by that time there was a new threat? Cell. Goku decides to go into the room of spirit and time and train with Gohan. Under Goku's training, he eventually reaches the SSJ level. When they leave, they rest for a few days before the Cell games. When the game starts, Goku fights Cell but gives up. He knew that his son Gohan would be strong enough to defeat him and has him challenge Cell. But before Gohan ends up defeating Cell, Goku again sacrifices his life to save the earth. He aids Gohan from heaven and guides him to defeat Cell. Goku chooses to stay in heaven and competes in the heaven tournament where he comes to a stalemate with another warrior called Pikhan. While in heaven, Goku achieves the SSJ2 level and the SSJ 3 level. Goku is able to come back to earth for a shot time, and while he was there, he met his second son Goten and entered in the Tenkaichi Budoukai Tournament. While in the tournament he notices strange things happening. Later on, he ends up fighting Majin Vegeta. They both were equal in strength at the SSJ 2 level, but Vegeta ended up winning by cheating and knocks Goku out while he wasn't looking. While Goku was on earth, he was able to fight fat Buu and show off his SSJ 3 form. He didn't want to beat him; all he was doing was giving Trunks enough time to retrieve the Dragonball radar. Before Goku went back to heaven, he taught Goten and Trunks how to do the fusion dance. While in heaven, Goku watched over what was going on with Buu and the others. During Gohan's fight with Buu, Dai-Kaioshin decides to give his life to Goku so he can go back to earth and fuse with Gohan using the potara earrings. When Goku teleports back to earth, Gohan ends up getting absorbed by Buu so Goku fuses with Vegeta instead. They both form into Vegitto and do battle with Buu. Vegitto is purposely absorbed by Buu so he can rescue everyone who was absorbed by him. The permanent fusion with Vegeta was canceled out when they were absorbed. While they were inside Buu, Goku and Vegeta rescued Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks and in the process saved fat Buu (they don't take Fat Buu with them, but Buu spits him out later on). They all escape through one of Buu's blowholes and magically turn back to their normal size. When they removed Fat Buu, something started to happen to Buu. He turned back to his original form and when Goku and Vegeta challenged him, he destroyed the earth. Kaioshin was able to save Goku, Vegeta, Mr. Satan, and his puppy before the earth was blow away. They were all transported back to heaven. While they were there, Buu went from planet to planet destroying them one by one killing all life that inhabited it. Goku and Vegeta decide to max their power so Buu would come to them and stop killing innocent people. Buu arrives and Goku is the first to fight. Goku battles hard, but his power starts to run low and he starts to loose. When Vegeta tries to fight him, he sees that he is no match for Buu. Goku saves Vegeta and continues to fight Buu. Then, Mr. Satan interferes with the fight and it is learned that Buu can't seem to harm Satan. Buu solves this problem by spitting out fat Buu (fat Buu was making it so Buu couldn't harm his friend, Mr Satan). Buu starts to fight fat Buu giving Vegeta and Goku a chance to devise a plan. Vegeta comes up with the plan to use the Dragonball's to revive on earth, and all the people who were killed by Buu. His plan was for Goku to use a huge Genki Dama from the energy gathered from the people of earth and destroy Buu. After the wishes were made, Goku started to gather the energy to make the huge Genki Dama, but he was having a hard time convincing the people on earth to give up their energy. But when Mr. Satan asked everyone to raise their hands and give their energy, they did because they trusted him. After the energy was collected, Goku released the Genki Dama straight at Buu. But Goku's energy was low and he couldn't destroy Buu with it. As Buu started to push the Genki Dama back at Goku, Dende used the last wish from the Dragonball's and asked for Goku's strength to be returned. After he was healed, Goku easily destroyed Buu. Right before Buu's death, Goku wished that he would come back as a good guy so he could see who was really stronger. Ten years later, Goku entered another Tenkaichi Budoukai tournament and tells everyone he has been watching someone with a great power. When they picked the numbers to see who would battle who, Goku had fat Buu rig the numbers so Goku would fight a young boy names Ubuu. Later on it is found out that Ubuu is actually the reincarnated Buu. In the middle of the tournament after he fought Ubuu, Goku leaves to train him In Dragonball GT, Goku is turned into a child and goes on an adventure to find the black star Dragonball's with Trunks, and his granddaughter Pan. Once they return from their adventure, they find out that Bebi has been on a rampage while they were gone. Goku ends up reaching the SSJ 4 form and defeats Bebi. After his fight with Bebi, he meets up with some of his old enemy's, Dr. Gero and Android 17. Dr. Mu Creates another 17 and the two 17's fuse becoming Super 17. With the help of 18, Goku defeats 17 with a dragon punch. Shortly after, Goku finds out that the Dragonball are starting to crack. Seven evil Shenlong's appear and Goku and his crew fight them one by one. In the end, Goku absorbs the Dragonball's and flies off on the eternal Dragon.

Goku was a name given to him by his adopted father, Grandpa Gohan. Goku's real father is Bardock. He died when he tried to save the planet Vegeta from Freeza. Goku never met his son Goten until long after he was born. Goku's full name is Son Goku. His last name, Son is put at the front instead of the back.

Gohan is the first son of Goku. He is half Saiya-jin and half Human. In the beginning of DBZ, Gohan is a bookworm and doesn't know anything about fighting. His mother Chichi refuses to let him be trained by Goku and wants Gohan to be a scholar. One day Goku met up with his brother Radditz. Radditz asked Goku to join him and when Goku refused, Radditz kidnapped Gohan. Radditz held him in his space pod while he fought Goku and Piccolo. Gohan saw his father getting hurt and showed that he had great power. He broke through the space pod and head butted Radditz in the chest breaking his armor and sending him to the ground in pain. Goku and Radditz were killed during the fight and before Radditz died, he told Piccolo that two Saiya-jin warriors would arrive on earth in about a year, and they were even stronger then him. Piccolo saw the great potential in Gohan and decided to train him for the fight. As Piccolo trained Gohan, his abilities grew as the year progressed. By the time the Saiya-jin's showed up, Gohan was ready for battle. Nappa was the first Saiya-jin to fight and he quickly killed most of the Z team. Piccolo, Gohan and Krillin were the only three left in the end. During one of the attacks that Piccolo had planned out, Gohan became too scared and ran. Nappa was about to kill Gohan, but Piccolo saved his life buy jumping in front of the ki blast (Piccolo died). When Goku finally showed up, Gohan was about to be squashed like a bug under Nappa foot. He saved both Krillin and Gohan and easily beat Nappa. He started to fight Vegeta and told Gohan and Krillin to go home so they wouldn't get hurt. On their way back, Gohan decided to return to the battle. When he arrived, Goku was in serious trouble. Vegeta had turned Ozaru and was crushing Goku to death. Eventually, Yajarobi saved him by cutting off Vegeta's tail. Vegeta now had his attention set on Gohan and Krillin. After Gohan's battle with Vegeta, it seemed Vegeta would win until Goku told him to look up and the artificial moon that Vegeta made. Gohan turned to Ozaru and beat the $hit out of Vegeta. At the last minute, Vegeta cut off Gohan's tail and Gohan fell to the ground unconscious. Gohan returned back home, until they decided to go to Namek and use their Dragonball's to revive their fallen friends. Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma were going to make the trip to Namek. One the way there they met up with a group of people whose planet had been taken over by an evil tyrant named Freeza. They were also tricked into thinking that they landed on Namek, when they actually landed on an astroid and almost got their spacecraft stolen. When they finally make it to Namek, they find out that Freeza is already there and is searching for the Dragonball's. Gohan, Bulma and Krillin stay out of site until Gohan sees a young Namek (Dende) about to be killed by Dodoria. He saves his life then flees. Gohan and Krillin end up getting two Dragonball's, but Vegeta steals one of them. Later on, the Ginu Force steals all of the Dragonball's and Gohan fights Recoom. After a heated battle, Gohan looses. Goku shows up just in time and saves his life. After Goku takes care of the Ginu Force, Gohan and Krillin go back to Freeza space ship to retrieve the Dragonball's. Once they get there, they collect all seven and wait For Goku. When he arrives, they learn that Ginu has taken over Goku's body and both Krillin and Gohan fight him. After Goku's body is returned, Gohan watches Vegeta fight Freeza. Later on in the battle, it appears that Krillin was killed by Freeza, and in an enraged anger, Gohan launches a full on assault and sends Freeza a devastating ki blast. Through the rest of the Freeza battle, Gohan watches from the sidelines until Dende wishes him back to earth. Everything is peaceful on earth until a mysterious person shows up (Trunks) and everyone finds out that in three years 2 androids will come and terrorize the earth. Gohan trains with Piccolo and Goku for the three years, but when the time comes to fight them, he is much weaker then the rest of the Z team. Later after the fight with the androids and before the Cell games, Gohan goes into the room of spirit and time with Goku and achieves the Super Saiya-jin level. While in the room, Goku sees that Gohan has an intense power that even he has not reached. During the Cell fight, Goku gives up his battle and chooses Gohan as Cell's next opponent. Everyone is shocked that Goku chooses Gohan. When Gohan started the fight, he proved he could hold his own, but was still no march for Cell. After Cell destroyed 16, Gohan's dormant powers were let loose and he was the first to achieve the Super Saiya-jin 2 level. After proving that he was stronger then Cell, Gohan wanted to toy with him a little bit, but made a serious mistake in doing so. In order not to loose, Cell started to self-destruct, but Goku sacrificed his life by teleporting Cell off of the earth. But Cell didn't die and telepored right back to earth. Gohan was injured when he tried to protect Vegeta from an immense blast from Cell, and it seemed a huge Kamehameha that Cell was powering up would destroy him. Gohan basically gave up until Goku spoke to him from heaven. With Goku guidance, Gohan was able to destroy Cell with a Kamehameha attack of his own. After the fight with Cell, there was peace on earth. Goku was now the older brother to Goten, and he was attending Orange Star High School in Satan City. While attending school, a strange hero called "The Golden Haired Warrior" was showing up and fighting crime. Of course it was Gohan; he was turning Super Saiya-jin so no one would notice him. But Gohan was still afraid that someone from school would notice him, so he had Bulma make him a special suit that he kept in a capsule. He now fought crime known as the Saiya-man. Another Budoukai tournament was being held, and Gohan decided to enter under the guise of Saiya-man. During the fight, his good friend (and soon to be wife) Videl was badly injured by Sopobitcha. Gohan was about to fight Kibit in the tournament, but it was interrupted when Sopobitcha and his friend absorbed Gohan's power. It turns out that Babi-dee had his henchmen steal Gohan's power to resurrect Majin Buu. Gohan tries his hardest to stop Babi-dee from awakening Buu, but he can't stop it. Buu awakens and attacks Gohan. It is thought that Gohan was killed, but he wasn't. Kibit and Kaioshin were training him. While he was being trained, Gohan was able to pull out the Zed Sword. They wanted to see how strong the blade was, so Goku threw the strongest know material at Gohan, and he hit the metal with the sword, but the sword broke. When the sword was destroyed, Dia Kaioshin was released. He tells them he has been trapped in the sword and when they broke it, he was released.With a special technique, Dia Kaioshin releases Gohan's hidden power giving birth to Mystic Gohan. The power-up gave him the power of around the Super Saiya-jin 3 level without having to change into a super Saiya-jin. With his new power, he goes back to earth and fights Super Buu. Super Buu is no match for him, until Buu absorbs Gotenks and Piccolo. Buu is much more powerful and a lot smarter since he absorbed Piccolo. Gohan was no match for him and was absorbed by Buu. Gohan got saved by Vegeta and Goku, but died shortly after when the earth was destroyed. He is brought back to life when Vegeta has the Namek's use the Dragonball's to revive everyone who was killed by Buu. Ten years later, Gohan is married to Videl and has a daughter named Pan. He is a scholar and has pretty much giving up training. In DBGT, Gohan is able to turn Super Saiya-jin but it is never explained why. Techniques Bukujutsu: The ability to fly with one's ki. Energy Dan: The user of this technique shoots ki bolts continuously from his hands. Kamehameha: It is a Ki blast, which to start is charged up held behind the firer in cupped hands, then brought forward to release a large blast of energy Masenko: This is Gohan's trademark technique. He powers up energy over his head with both of his hands, one palm behind the other, then brings his hands down in front of him to fire the blast at the opponent. Zanzoken: The user can move so fast he leaves an after-image, while attacking from another standpoint. Did you know? Gohan means meal or rice. Gohan had the ability to become the most powerful person in the DBZ series, but never did because he didn't like fighting. Gohan was going to be the main character after the Cell saga, but Goku was kept because they feared they would loose viewers.
