Krillen
Krillin has been Goku's best friend since they studied martial arts together under Master Roshi as kids. Krillin provides comic relief in tense situations as he tries to keep up with Goku and some of the other more powerful warriors. But don't get the idea that he's a helpless buffoon. A good fighter on his own accord, he's always there to help Goku. He can and has saved his friend's life more than once. In fact, Krillin unleashes an incredibly powerful energy blast shaped like a flying disc that literally slices through mountaintops.
Krillin is incredibly dedicated to his friends, especially Goku, and holds friendship in high value. He is willing to fight against the Saibamen and Saiyans even though he doesn't want to die. Goku encourages Krillin to have confidence in his own abilities as Krillin learns to be a remarkable fighter -- that is, for an Earthling..
Krillin volunteers to be one of the crew going to Namek to gather the Namekian Dragon Balls. On this journey he once again gets to prove his loyalty, courage, and fighting skills. His power is enhanced even further by the eldest Namekian, Guru, when he awakens the sleeping power within Krillin. He will need every ounce of this power he has to fight against the evil forces assembled on Namek.
| Bulma
Bulma has been around from the beginning. In Dragon Ball, she was a mixed up teenager with blue hair, a pink outfit, and a personality quirk that wouldn't allow her to shut up for a second. She was immature, emotional, self-centered, impatient, argumentative, boy-crazy and given to fits of hysteria.
Now, she's blossomed into a woman with a lot of the same personality quirks, but the team would never get along with out her. Bulma is a mechanical genius who can operate and fix anything. She is the one that discovers the capabilities of the Saiyan Scouter and enhances it for their own use. It enables her to save the day more than once. She
also takes the lead in finding a space ship to go to Namek and joins Krillin and Gohan in the journey.
| | | | Piccolo
Goku's onetime arch enemy, Piccolo is the second strongest being on Earth. He wears an extremely heavy cape as constant training for his muscles. He is renowned for his powerful energy blasts as well as his ability to split into two or four seperate entities. Green like a lizard, Piccolo has the ability to regenerate any limbs that he may lose in battle. This comes in handy more than once.
Piccolo is a native of the planet Namek. He was reborn from an older, evil Piccolo, who in his last moments of life spat out an egg, which then hatched into this "new" Piccolo. He starts out fighting against Goku to rule the world, but when the Saiyans arrive Piccolo is forced to join forces with Goku and the others to defeat a greater more powerful evil.
At first the alliance with Goku is uneasy, but as the story unfolds, their bond becomes stronger. Piccolo even steps in to train Goku's son Gohan for the upcoming battle against the Saiyans. Piccolo is confused by the bond he sees with Gohan and by his own actions. Is he training an opponent who is stronger than him, and why does he risk his life to save Gohan's? Gohan sees the good within Piccolo and their relationship brings this good out of Piccolo. In the showdown with Vegeta and Nappa, Piccolo saves Gohan's life by jumping in front of an energy blast targeted at Gohan.
| Yamcha
Yamcha is a longtime friend and ally of Goku's that possesses great fighting spirit. He is usually accompanied by his devoted cat companion Puar, and he is characterized by his intense fear of women. He is anxious and willing to be trained by Kami and to join the battle against the Saiyans, even though he understands that the odds are against them. In the heat of the battle Yamcha volunteers to fight the Saibamen instead of Krillin because Krillin has already been brought back to life by the Dragon Balls once, which is the limit.
This good looking warrior still has an attraction for Bulma but stood her up the last time he had a date with her because he didn't have enough money to take her out. Thus, he is hesitant to see her again. Bulma apparently forgives this and contemplates marriage to him, but then Yamcha is eliminated by the Saibamen. Fortunately for Yamcha, he can be brought back to life by the Dragon Balls.
| | | | Tien
Tien is a three-eyed man who was originally trained as an assassin under one of Master Roshi's rivals. After realizing he did not want to be an assassin, his best friend Chaiotzu and him switched sides and became Z fighters. Chaiotzu and Tien can communicate telepathically. His fighting techniques include the ability to hover in the air, throw concentration bombs, and split into two or four seperate entities. Tien can stop a waterfall with a blast and crush rocks on his head.
Tien is excited about being trained by Kami to fight the Saiyans. He volunteers to be the first to fight the Saibamen, wins the battle, and goes on to fight against the Saiyans. He loses his best friend when Chaiotzu completes a suicide mission.
| Chiao zu
This white-skinned, red-cheeked little prince is a devoted companion of Tien. Noble and unselfish, Chiaotzu does not hesitate to throw himself onto Nappa's back and self-destruct in an attempt to save his comrades. | | | | Frieza
Frieza is the most powerful and evil being in the Universe with no rival being even close to his strength. Upon learning about the legendary Namekian Dragon Balls, Frieza is consumed with a desire to summon the Eternal Dragon and wish for immortality. Then he could rule the Universe, unrivaled, forever.
His ruthlessness is well known. Understanding the capability of the Saiyans as fighters and their uncanny ability to gain strength after recovering from injuries, Frieza knew this one race might one day challenge his pre-eminence. Thus he eliminated their planet and all but a handful of Saiyans who happened to be away at the time.
In his search for the Dragon Balls on Namek, Frieza ruthlessly and predictably eliminates all who get in his way. The very mention of his name strikes dread and fear in the hearts of all who have heard of him. This prompts King Kai to warn Goku not to even think about battling with Frieza.
Frieza has an elite fighting team known as the Ginyu Force. They consist of five beings: Captain Ginyu, Recoome, Guldo, Burter, and Jeice.
| Trunks
The Trunks of the normal Dragon Ball timeline, he is best friends with Gokou's son, Goten. Trunks and Goten do just about everything together, from training to playing. When he is with Goten, the two tend to get into a lot of trouble. He's always planning some kind of scheme, and convinces Goten to go along with his plans. As the son of Vegeta, he has somewhat of a bad attitude, but not to the extent of his father. He is usually playful and kind. At the age of 8 he was able to become a Super Saiayn, making him the second youngest character to achieve the level. He and Goten can fuse together to become Gotenks, who takes Trunks' cockiness and multiplies it about five times. At the beginning of DBGT, he assists Gokou in finding the black star Dragon Balls that are scattered throughout space.
Future Trunks
From a chaotic future, Mirai (Future) Trunks comes back in time and kills Freeza bot, along with his father, King Kold. He warns the Z fighters about his future, and tells them how they can prevent any of it from happening. In Trunks' future, two androids, Numbers 17 and 18, are wreaking havoc across the globe. Surprisingly, he can also become a Super Saiyan, making him the second (in our timeline, that is) to become one. This really pisses Vegeta off, who later finds out that Trunks is his son. When he goes back to his timeline for the second time, he finds that history had not changed. But he is a lot stronger so he kills androids #17, #18, and even Cell.
| | | | Vegeta
Vegeta is a prince of the planet Vegeta, and is the most powerful and feared of all the Saiyans. Cunning, ruthless, and cruel in battle, he enjoys toying with any helpless creature who opposes him. He comes to Earth with Nappa, another Saiyan, to conquer the planet. Vegeta and Nappa underestimate the Z fighters by thinking the mission will take only three days, when in fact, they never succeed. Vegeta gets so fed up with Nappa that he mercilessly kills him. Vegeta looses the battle on Earth, but escapes death because of Goku's generosity.
Vegeta goes to Namek in search of the Dragon Balls with the wish for immortality. Discovering he cannot defeat Frieza alone, he fights with Gohan and Krillin, and then with Goku and Piccolo when they arrive.
| Nails
Nail is the personal guardian of Guru, the eldest Namek and father of all the Nameks. His role as personal guardian is very important because Guru is very ill. If Guru should die, the Dragon Balls will cease to exist on Namek.
Like all Nameks, Nail is aware of the severe consequences of allowing the Dragon Balls to fall into the wrong hands, and is willing to do whatever it takes to prevent this from happening. Nail is a very skilled fighter and later fuses with Piccolo.
| | | | Dende
Dende is a child from the planet Namek, and is even younger than Gohan. Gohan and Krillin first meet Dende on their trip to the planet Namek to gather the Dragon Balls. His family was assaulted in battle by Frieza's henchmen. Since that time, Dende has been watched over by Krillin and Gohan.
With the healing powers the eldest Namek, Guru, bestows on him, Dende becomes an important asset to the Z fighters. On Namek, he saves both Krillin and Vegeta from death. Dende later replaces Kami as the guardian of the Dragon Balls on Earth
| Goten
The second son of Gokou and Chichi, Goten is a mischievous boy that strongly resembles Gokou. Since his dad Gokou died during the Cell Saga, he grows up without father. Instead, he looks up to Gohan, his older brother, and thinks he is the greatest in the world. He and his best friend Trunks (Vegeta and Bulma's son) are always getting themselves into trouble. He and Trunks can also fuse together to become Gotenks, a strong, yet over-confident being with extremely silly attacks. Because Gokou was so strong when he and Chichi had him, Goten is born extremely powerful as well. He is able to become a Super Saiyan at the age of 7, making him the youngest Super Saiyan to date. He could have gotten much stronger, but by the end of Dragon Ball Z, he slacks off and doesn't train.
