Gohan
Gohan is Gokou and Chichi's first son who is named after Gokou's adoptive grandfather Gohan, (although the anime makes up another reason for it). He was born in the year 757 AD. and when he first appears in the series he's four years old. If he were any normal child, he would probablly have been traumatized by the age of five. In a single day, he's kidnapped, beaten up, his father gets killed, he's taken away from his family, dropped into the wilderness and then told to survive for 6 months. Pretty severe. His trainer/mentor/idol is Piccolo who trained him during the 6 months before the Saiya-jin arrived. He's basically entirely responsible for Piccolo's reformation due to his kind heart, and the boy grows on Piccolo, (although not as much as the English version would have you think he does). Later on he fights the Ginyu Tokusentai and Freeza on Planet Nameck and does fairly well, but at that point, he's still not a powerhouse. The only time his true potential shines is during the Cell Saga when he basically becomes the savior of the world by being the first Saiya-jin to attain Super Saiya-jin 2 and then completely destroying Cell. After the Cell Saga Toriyama wanted the manga to focus on Gohan, and make him the hero, but that's not what the fans wanted so he backed off of Gohan and his adventures as the Great Saiyaman. In the end of DBZ, Gohan is still a remarkable fighter, but nowhere near what he should be. As Gohan grows older, he has less and less of an urge to train on his own, and since evil doesn't threaten the Earth, he has no reason to. He basically becomes a so-called "nerd" but this is one "nerd" you seriously wouldn't want to mess with. He settles down and marries Videl. They live in a house next to Gokou's and have a daughter named Pan.
