Goku
Template:DB Character Son Goku (孫 悟空, Son Gokū, Goku in most English versions) is a fictional character and main protagonist who first appears in the Dragon Ball manga created by Akira Toriyama in 1984, more popularly followed by an anime series that debuted two years later. At first, Goku's representation in the Dragon Ball story was parodied on Sun Wukong (the Chinese variant of the name), a central protagonist in the Chinese novel Journey to the West. As Dragon Ball developed from an adventure to a martial arts sensation, Goku's direct reference to this classic character in literature is quickly departed. When the original manga was adapted into its animation equivalent, the series was split into two sub-series. The first sub-series told the history of Goku's childhood and went by the original name of the manga; while its more popular sequel sub-series called Dragon Ball Z covered his adulthood. A third anime only sub-series was produced called Dragon Ball GT that continued Goku's future ten years after the end of Dragon Ball Z, and the written Dragon Ball series.
Heritage and appearance
Goku was born Kakarotto (カカロット, Kakarotto, Kakarot in most English versions), a member of an extraterrestrial race called the Saiyan. This race inhabited a planet called Planet Vegeta. Goku's history and appearance are unique when compared to other superheroes simply because Dragon Ball was not intended to be ongoing, or even a story that primarily focused on martial arts. Goku originally appeared in the series as a boy with dark hair, a lean build, and a monkey tail; however, these physical traits are later explained to be typical of his race, the Saiyans. Goku's tail is removed early in the series when he is living on Earth.
Goku is unique for a Saiyan, being that he does not possess the typical behavioral traits of the race, such as extreme aggression and ruthless behavior. Due to his devotion toward the Earth, he dresses in an Asian martial arts uniform instead of the traditional Saiyan battle armor. Goku's signature color is orange, with a dark blue short-sleeved under shirt, obi, wristbands and dark light-weight boots. He is also known to use the symbols of his training masters. The first symbol that Goku uses was the symbol of his first master Muten Roshi's, which stood for "Kame" [1], (meaning "turtle"). Later he wears the symbol of his next master, Kaio-sama for "Kaio" (meaning "world") while battling the Saiyan Prince named Vegeta. After Goku recovers from his battle with Vegeta, Kaio-Sama sends him another gi with the symbol meaning "Go" (meaning either "enlightenment" or "wisdom"), which also appears in his name's Japanese symbols. As the series progresses, he discards these symbols, becoming a master instead of a student by training his son named Son Gohan, and later a pupil named Uub.
Even though Kakarrotto is Goku's original name, he prefers to be called "Goku" that he was given upon his arrival on Earth. When Goku learns of his origins as an extraterrestrial, he rejects his heritage, but later accepts it during his battle with the galactic overlord named Freeza. Only Saiyans refer to Goku by his Saiyan name, the Saiyan character in the series Vegeta is very particular about calling him by his Saiyan name; believing that Goku should be proud of his Saiyan heritage. Due to a unique genetic trait in Saiyan genetics, Goku's physique almost perfectly mimics his father Burdock's. Another unique trait in Saiyan genetics is that the Saiyans evolved to retain their youthfulness for combat, so as a result, Goku ages very slowly when he reaches about age thirty, appearing very young even when he is middle-aged.
Goku's original name fits in with the rest of his family; all the known members in his family are a pun on vegetables that are related to each other. "Kakarotto" is a pun on "carrot", while Goku's older brother named Raditz who is introduced as a villain at the beginning of Dragon Ball Z is a pun on "radish". Also, Goku's father Burdock, whose name is revealed in the television special "Bardock: Father of Goku" is named after an herb of the same name.
Personality
Being pure of heart, Goku is known for his naïve, energetic personality, but Goku is also known to have a fierce love of competition, specifically fighting. He is often criticized by the other characters for giving his rivals a chance to change their intentions instead of killing them off. But as a result, this trait of Goku's personality has earned him respect from former rivals, developed alliances, and even friendships with them. Goku is particularly unusual in his traits, being that even though all the dangers that he faces in the series, his only phobia is needles.
Even though most of Goku's traits are very different than other Saiyans, he shares the Saiyan love for food and combat, and often neglects his duties as a husband and friend in order to train. Goku's desires mostly reflect his ambition to not only compete against others, but also to surpass his own limits, becoming an inspiration for his friends who also fight. Goku's personality is one of the few in the series that has almost no changes as the series continues. Goku's personality remains naive and child-like throughout the entire series, even at the end of the series when he is middle-aged. Goku's demeanor is observed to change with his transformations, however, Goku never loses his purity of heart.
History
- The following account of the character's biography is based primarily on the original manga series, with mentions from the anime series where it is appropriate.
Dragon Ball
Originally, Kakarotto was sent to Earth by his race called the Saiyans to annihilate all species of life on the planet, in order to make Earth suitable for sale on the galactic market. When Kakarotto arrives on Earth, he is adopted and raised on a remote mountian by an elderly martial artist named Son Gohan, who renames the boy Son Goku. An incident one day causes Goku head trauma, erasing his programmed Saiyan nature. Unaware of his alien origin and his mission, Goku becomes a naive child, completely void of evil. One night, Goku reveals a transformation typical of Saiyans called an Oozaru, resulting in the accidental death of Son Gohan. Son Gohan left him one possession before he died, a magical orb called a Dragon Ball.
When Goku was twelve, he met a teenage girl named Bulma, who was looking for the seven Dragon Balls. She wanted to ask the Dragon God Shenlong for the perfect boyfriend. Goku joined her on her quest, in order to fulfill his dream of training in martial arts and becoming the world's strongest warrior. After the quest was complete, Goku goes to train with the great martial arts master named Muten-Rôshi, or "Kame-Senin". Goku learns a special fighting technique called the Kamehameha that is composed from ki energy. He also meets a fellow student named Kuririn, who is a rival at first, but soon becomes Goku's best friend.[2] Goku competes in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai several months later, only to lose to a disguised Muten-Rôshi in the final round.
After the Tenka'ichi Budokai, Goku searches for the Dragon Ball that Son Gohan had given to him. The Dragon Balls had scattered all over the Earth after Shenlong had appeared, and Goku wanted to find his grandfather's Dragon Ball. Goku defeats the Red Ribbon Army, who are searching for the Dragon Balls in order to gain world domination, finding Gohan's Dragon Ball in the process. 3 years later, Goku competes in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai, but is narrowly defeated in the final round by a warrior named Tenshinhan. Immediately after the tournament, the demon king named Piccolo Daimao appears, aiming to assassinate all martial arts masters so he can have undisputed reign over the world. After a difficult series of battles, Goku eventually manages to defeat Piccolo and save the Earth. Moments before Piccolo's death however, he vows revenge and reincarnates himself in the form of an egg, which hatches into Piccolo Jr.[3]
After the battle, Goku accepts the grueling training of Kami-sama, the god of Earth for three years.[4] [5]Goku arrives to participate in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, as does Piccolo Jr. Goku also gets married to the Ox Princess named Chi Chi that he had accidentally promised marriage to years earlier. Piccolo Jr vows revenge on Goku for his predecessor's death. In the final match Goku becomes severely injured, however, defeats Piccolo; finally claiming the title of the "strongest under the heavens".[6]
Dragon Ball Z
Saiyan Saga
At the start of Dragon Ball Z, Goku has built a family with Chi-Chi and their son, Son Gohan (whom he'd named after his grandfather). It is after a five year period of peace, a powerful threat arrives on Earth and Goku's origin as a Saiyan is revealed to him. The threat introduces himself as Raditz, Goku's older brother. After being defeated by Raditz, Raditz kidnaps Gohan. Goku then forms a bitter alliance with Piccolo in order to defeat Raditz. The pair are successful in defeating Raditz, but unfortunately, Goku dies in the ensuing battle.
Before dying, Goku learns that two more Saiyan warriors would be coming to Earth in a year. Once in the afterlife, Goku trains under the greatest martial arts master in the universe named Kaio-sama. Goku learns techniques such as the Kaiō-ken and the Genki Dama (Spirit Bomb), and his strength increases substantially due to the increased gravity in Kaio-Sama's planet. One year after his death, the Dragon God Shenlong revives Goku so he can fight the Saiyans.[7] When Goku arrives back on Earth, Goku easily defeats one of the Saiyans named Nappa, then challenges the more powerful Saiyan named Vegeta. Vegeta is overcome, and Goku decides to spare him, wanting to fight him again. Vegeta swears revenge on the Earthlings as he leaves. Earth.[8]
Freeza Saga
After recovering from his battle with Vegeta, Goku travels to Piccolo's planet called Planet Namek to aid Gohan, Kuririn and Bulma in searching for the Namekian Dragon Balls in order to wish the warriors who had died against Vegeta back to life. Goku learns of a very powerful galactic overlord named Freeza on Planet Namek, searching for the Dragon Balls in order to gain immortality. Goku arrives to discover that Vegeta was also on the planet, however, had aided Gohan and Kuririn against Freeza's special team called the Ginyu Force. Goku defeats the Ginyu Force with help from Vegeta, Gohan and Kuririn. Goku then battles Freeza after healing.
Goku arrives on the battlefield, realizing that he was too late to save the mortally wounded Vegeta. Before his death, Vegeta pleads for Goku to kill Freeza, which Goku promises to do. However, Freeza overwhelms Goku, and Goku is forced to use the Genki-Dama. Freeza survives the blast, and kills Kuririn. Frustrated and vengeful, Goku transforms into the legendary Saiyan warrior called a Super Saiyan, easily overwhelming Freeza. Knowing that he would be defeated, Freeza attempts to destroy Planet Namek; relying on his ability to survive in space. Goku and Freeza fight on the dying planet, until Freeza is severely injured by his own attack. Goku gives Freeza some of his own energy with the intention of giving Freeza a chance to survive. Freeza however takes the energy and uses against Goku, forcing Goku to finally defeat him. Back on Earth, everyone who was killed was revived by the Namekian Dragon God named Porunga, with Goku nowhere to be found.[9]
Android Saga
Goku returns to Earth after a year in space, only to meet another Super Saiyan named Trunks, who is from a bleak future Earth, where two very powerful androids (Jinzō'ningen) are destroying the Earth in his time. Trunks also reveals that everyone who could fight for the Earth were killed by the androids, aside from Goku, who had died naturally due to a heart virus before the arrival of the androids. Trunks provides Goku with an antidote for a heart virus. Goku spends the next 3 years training with Piccolo and Gohan, not showing any signs of illness.
When the androids appear, Goku battles one of them named Android #19. Goku was beating #19 with considerable ease until he starts to show symptoms of the virus during the battle. Goku is saved by Vegeta who reveals that he too had become a Super Saiyan. Meanwhile, Goku is brought away from the battle where the vaccine is administered, while Vegeta battles 19 and kills him. After recovering from the illness, Goku discovers that the super powerful androids named #17, #18 and #16 have been activated. After that, a greater threat arrives in the form of an artificial being named Cell, whose soul purpose was to use 17 and 18's power for himself to become the perfect warrior. Goku knew that he would not be able to defeat Cell, and after witnessing his son Gohan's rapidly evolving power, he trained him for an elapsed year in the Room of Spirit and Time in order for Gohan to succeed him and save the Earth from Cell. Goku's suspicions of his son being stronger then him are proven correct when he witnesses his son become a Super Saiyan and surpass him.
After obtaining his ultimate power by absorbing 17 and 18 into his body, Cell hosts a Tenkaichi Budokai called "The Cell Games" in order to test his new power against Goku, whom he believed was the strongest warrior on Earth. On the day of the tournament, Goku faces Cell only to forfiet and pass the match on to Gohan, much to Cell's dismay. Cell is determined to kill Gohan so that he can fight Goku, however, Cell's torment of Gohan forces him to transform into a Super Saiyan 2, where he easily dominates Cell. Desperate, Cell begins to self-destruct, forcing Goku to sacrifice himself and teleport Cell to Kaiosama's planet where the explosion kills Goku. Cell regenerates and returns to Earth, only to be more powerful then before. Gohan struggles to overcome Cell until Goku spiritually gives his son support from otherworld, enabling him to kill Cell. After the battle, the Z Warriors attempt to revive Goku with Shenlong, but Goku chooses to remain in the afterlife, believing himself to be the cause of many of the threats to Earth and his loved ones, explaining why he trained Gohan to succeed him.[10]
Majin Buu Saga
Seven years after the events of Cell, Goku is given permission to return to Earth for one day to participate in the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai, allowing him to again see his loved ones and meet his youngest son named Son Goten. During the tournament, Goku is visited by the supreme ruler of the Universe named Kaiōshin, and informed of a universal threat that is posed by the evil wizard named Babidi. Goku goes to find Babidi and learns that Babidi is attempting to revive his slumbering pet monster named Majin Buu, in order to lay siege upon the universe. Arriving at Babidi's spaceship, Goku and his allies are forced to face Babidi's henchmen, unwittingly providing power to Buu's revival. Witnessing Goku and his allies easily defeat his henchmen, Babidi possesses Vegeta by awakening the repressed evil within him. Vegeta then forces Goku to fight him until Buu is released from his slumber due to the massive amount of energy lost during the fight. Before they can face Buu, Vegeta feigns a forfeit and knocks Goku unconscious. Upon awakening, Goku realizes that both Gohan and Vegeta had fallen to Buu.
Knowing that he would need the Dragon Balls, Goku stalls Buu with his newest transformation of Super Saiyan 3, in order to buy Vegeta's son named Trunks time to retrieve the Dragon Radar (Bulma's device used for finding the location of the Dragon Balls) before Buu unknowingly destroyed it. Goku retreats from battle after Trunks has retrieved the Dragon Radar, promising Buu a warrior who would arise in three days that would be able to defeat him. Goku teaches a merging technique (fusion) to Goten and Trunks before being forced to return to the Other World, hoping that their combined bodies created a warrior powerful enough to defeat Buu. Learning that Gohan is training with Kaiōshin, Goku teleports to Kaioshin's Planet, observing the battle on Earth between Buu, and Goten and Trunks's fused warrior named Gotenks. When Gohan's training is complete, he returns to Earth to fight Buu, only to fall to him. Rou Dai Kaiōshin transfers his life force to Goku to resurrect him and allow him to aid Gohan in battle, armed with two special earrings that allow two warriors to permanently fuse. Before he can fuse with his son, Gohan is absorbed into Buu just like Gotenks was; however, Vegeta is allowed to return to Earth to aid Goku in the battle against Buu. The pair use the earrings to fuse to create the super warrior named Vegito.
Vegetto easily overpowers Buu before being purposefully absorbed by Buu to rescue his friends. The mystical nature of Buu's insides forces Vegetto's fusion to become unstable and causes him to separate back into Vegeta and Goku. Goku and Vegeta find all the absorbed warrior and remove them from Buu, however, they are confronted inside Buu's body by an incarnation of Buu. Goku and Vegeta escape from Buu's body but Buu quickly destroys Earth. Goku, Vegeta, the god of Earth Dende, and world champion named Mr. Satan are rescued by Kaioshin and teleported to the Planet of the Kais.
Learning Kaioshin's teleportation technique, Buu finds the two Saiyans and battles Goku. After Goku is exhausted from fighting, Vegeta asks Dende to use the Namekian Dragon God named Porunga to restore Earth and all of its inhabitants, to use their energy to assist Goku in creating a huge attack called a Genki-Dama. With persuasion from Mr. Satan, the Genki-Dama is supplied with a vast amount of energy which Goku then uses on Buu. After a brief struggle, another wish is made to restore Goku's energy, allowing him to destroy Buu with the Genki-Dama. Goku settles his rivalry with Vegeta and restores peace to the Universe.
Ten years later, Goku meets Buu's human reincarnation named Uub and trains him to be his successor as the Universe's greatest defender.[11]

During his journey, Goku encounters Baby, a creation of the Tsufurujin, a race that lived on Planet Vegeta. The Tsufurujin and the Saiyans lived on the same planet until the Saiyans killed off the Tsufurujin, and took the planet for their own. Upon their return to Earth, Goku and his friends encounter Baby again who has possessed Vegeta and enslaved all life on Earth.

To worsen matters, Cell and Freeza both appear. After a short fight, Cell and Freeza manage to drag Goku into the deepest part of Hell, where an old lady traps him within a block of ice.

The fate of the Dragon Balls is unknown, however Goku passes the four-star ball down to Goku Jr. the same way his Grandpa Gohan passed it down to him.
Forms and transformations
As a member of the Saiyan race, Goku has acquired the ability to transform by physical training. By transforming his body, Goku greatly enhances his abilities from the previous state. As a child, he is able to transform into the Saiyan ware-monkey called the Oozaru. However, he is not able to transform into the Oozaru at will due to the required component of special radiant waves emitted by the full moon. As with all Saiyans, Goku was born with a tail which is a vital characteristic for transforming into an Oozaru. It is removed later in the original Dragon Ball series, however, is regrown in the third sub-series of Dragon Ball called Dragon Ball GT, making Goku regain the ability to transform into an Oozaru.
Goku is the first Saiyan in the series to achieve the legendary transformation of Super Saiyan. He was the first Saiyan in over a millenia to achieve this. Goku achieved this transformation when he was overcome by rage from the death of his best friend, Kuririn, at the hands of the evil over lord Freeza. He continues to train this form throughout the series, eventually gaining two advanced states of the regular Super Saiyan called the Super Saiyan 2nd Grade and Super Saiyan 3rd Grade. Eventually, he masters every aspect of the Super Saiyan in order to fight the artifical being named Cell, and moving on to an ascended Super Saiyan called Super Saiyan 2. Goku then transforms even further to Super Saiyan 3 during his training in the Other World. During the sequel series Dragon Ball GT, Goku achieves his last transformation called Super Saiyan 4.
Powers and abilities
Due to his intense training and his Saiyan heritage, Goku had developed techniques that far surpassed the limits of normal humans. Goku's most widely known trait is his ability to manipulate the ki energy in his body. By doing so, he is able to increase his ki level, suppress his ki level to trick ki detecting devices, compose attacks that are made purely from ki energy, and even use it for levitation and flight. Goku has also acquired extreme physical strength, and super speed; where his movements are not visible to the human eye. Due to his training, he has also acquired the ability to naturally detect both the exact location, and concentration of ki energy of an opponent, as have many of the Z-Fighters. By using his ability to sense ki energy, Goku can also know the status of a battle without actually seeing it. This ability also enables Goku to fight his opponent by simply sensing the movement of their ki instead of attempting to see them with his eyes, ultimately giving him a huge advantage during fast-paced battles.
