Though it's also popular with younger kids, is an internationally popular teenager and young adult media franchise. It consists mainly of a manga series made by Akira Toriyama in 1984, four anime show, nineteen animated feature films, an American live action movie, collectible card games as well as other collectible merchandises, a lot of video games (still being made), and action figures. comes with an extensive fanbase that is on-line and is consistently among the very often searched-for terms on Google, Yahoo!, and Lycos.
The storyline and characters of were partially inspired by the Chinese people novel Journey to the West, though they and the novel diverge quickly. The storyline follows the experiences of the lead character Son Goku (on the basis of the Monkey King of the folk legend, Sun Wukong) from his youth through his maturity. The narrative contains components both of humor and action, although the show became more activity-oriented over time.
The show starts using a monkey-tailed boy named Goku befriending a teenage girl named Bulma, whom he accompanies to find the seven Dragon Balls (which summon the dragon Shenlong to allow the user one wish. They are led by the journey to the desert bandit Yamcha, who afterwards becomes an ally; Chichi, whom Goku unknowingly consents to wed; an impish guy who seeks the Dragon Balls to satisfy his need to rule the planet, and Pilaf. Goku subsequently gets extensive training regimes under the martial arts master Kame-Sen'nin to be able to fight in the Tenkaichi Budokai ("Strongest Under the Heavens Martial Arts Tournament"). A monk named Kuririn becomes competitor and his training partner, however they soon become best friends. Following the tournament, Goku searches for the Dragon Ball his grandfather left him and nearly singlehandedly conquers their hired assassin Taopaipai and the Red Ribbon Army. Then Goku reunites with his buddies to get the better of the combatants of the fortuneteller Baba Uranai and have her find a buddy killed by Taopaipai to be revived by the last Dragon Ball.
At the Tenkaichi Budokai three years after Goku and his allies fight Kame-Sen'nin's competition and the brother of Taopaipai, Tsuru-Sen'nin, and his pupils Tenshinhan and Chaozu. Kuririn is killed following the tournament and his killer, Piccolo Daimao tracks down and defeats Goku. Goku is taken by the samurai Yajirobe to the hermit Karin, where he receives a power boost and healing. Meanwhile, Piccolo fights with Kame-Sen'nin and Chaozu, resulting in both their departures, and uses before ruining Shenlong the Dragon Balls to recover his youth. Piccolo Daimao, who, just before expiring, spawns his son/reincarnation Piccolo is subsequently killed by Goku. Karin subsequently directs Goku to Kamisama, the first inventor of the Dragon Balls, renovate his slain buddies and to restore Shenlong. Goku trains under Kami for the following 3 years, once again reuniting in the Tenkaichi Budokai with his buddies, where he narrowly wins against Piccolo before leaving with Chichi to keep his promise to wed her.
Five years after, Goku is a young adult and dad to his son Gohan, when Raditz arrives on Earth, identifies Goku as his smaller brother 'Kakarrot' and discloses to him that they're members of a virtually extinct extraterrestrial race known as the Saiyans (Saiyajin?), who sent Goku to capture Earth for them, until he suffered a serious head injury and lost all memory of his assignment. Goku gives his life to defeat Raditz, and refuses to continue the assignment, sides with Piccolo. Under the North Kaio Goku trains in the afterlife until he's restored by the Dragon Balls to save the Earth from the invading Nappa and Vegeta. In the conflict Yamcha, Chaozu, Tenshinhan, and Piccolo are killed, and the Dragon Balls stop to exist. Kuririn and the galactic tyrant Freeza learn of another set of Dragon Balls on planet Namek (Namekkusei?), whereupon Bulma, Gohan, and Kuririn search to allow them to restore their buddies and later the Earth's Dragon Balls, resulting in a number of conflicts with Freeza's minions and Vegeta, the latter standing alongside the heroes to fight the Ginyu Force, a team of mercenaries. The long fight with Freeza himself comes to a close when Goku gets the better of him and transforms into a Super Saiyan of legends.
Several Androids (Jinzoningen?, "Artificial Humans") created with an associate of the former Red Ribbon Army, Doctor Gero, seem three years after, seeking revenge against Goku. In now, an evil life form named Cell additionally emerges and, after consuming two of the Androids to accomplish his "perfect form," holds his own fighting tournament to challenge the protagonists. Gohan avenges his father by conquering Cell after Goku loses his own life to no avail. Seven years after, his allies, and Goku, briefly restored for just one day are drawn into a fight against Majin Boo. After numerous conflicts, including destruction and recreation of the Earth, Goku ruins Boo with a Genki Dama (a sector of pure energy brought from all intelligent beings on Earth) and wishes for him to be reincarnated as a "good person." Ten years after, at another Tenkaichi Budokai, Goku meets Oob, Boo's human reincarnation. Leaving their match incomplete, Goku departs with Oob to train him to be the new guard in Earth.
, produced Kakarot , is the chief protagonist of the show created by Akira Toriyama. He's the adoptive grandson of Grandpa Gohan, the son of Bardock and Gine, the husband of Chi Chi, the daddy of Gohan and Goten, the grandpa of Pan, and after the ancestor of Goku Jr. Cheerful, brave and also a bit innocent, Goku is a Saiyan initially sent to Earth as an infant with the assignment to ruin it. Nevertheless, his recollection changes, inducing him to grow up pure-hearted and afterwards become the best defender in Earth, in addition to the informal leader of the Z Fighters. Throughout his life, he strives to function as the finest warrior potential, while in once using his astonishing strength and expertise to carry on peace and trains hard
a, is the prince of the fallen Saiyan race and archrival to Goku. He could be the husband of Bulma, the older brother of Tarble, the firstborn son of King Vegeta, the daddy of Bulla and Trunks, and the great -great grandfather of Vegeta Jr. Alongside Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo, he's easily among the very obvious characters in the show, after being introduced than a variety of other characters, receiving more character development.
, egotistical and filled with pride, Vegeta was once a callous, cold blooded warrior and outright killer, but after left his job in the Frieza Force, instead choosing to stay and live on Earth, fighting alongside the Z Fighters; all the while striving to become the universe's strongest warrior, especially using the assignment to overcome and surpass Goku in power. His character evolves from villain, to protagonist through the length of the show, to antihero
