The main character of Dragon Ball is Son Goku, who starts off at the beginning of the story as a young boy. As the story unfolds through various adventures, we see him grow up and become an adult.
The characteristic features of Goku is his explosive hair and, in the beginning, his tail (he loses his tail later on). The story begins when he fatefully encounters a teen-age girl named Bulma. She is out in search for the legendary Dragon Balls, which are 7 crystal spheres with the corresponding number of stars in them. If one collects all of them and invokes the Shenlon, a large dragon appears, granting the discoverer one wish. After the wish is given, the balls shoot up in the air, scattering all over the world, and they turn into stone until they reactivate a year later. She coaxes Goku to come along on her journey. Thus begins the Dragon Ball saga.
Then comes the Saiyan-jin invasion, whence Goku fights off aliens that are trying to take over earth. At this junction, the TV series is renamed Dragon Ball Z. In addition, at this time, we find out that Goku has a son, Gohan (named after his stepfather). The Saiyan-jin invasion touches off a whole new phase of Dragon Ball, when Goku and Co. battle space invaders and the cruel Freezer.
During this time, Goku is able to reach the Super Saiyan-jin level of power, which increases his strength manyfold. Back on earth, our friends are informed of the impending arrival of civilization- destroying androids by a character from the future named Trunks. While Goku and his comrades are concentrating on these androids, an even more worrisome development occurs; a biologically created warrior named Cell begins marauding around.
However, unlike the androids, Cell is a real threat. After the evil machinations of Cell are averted, the story jumps 7 years. At this junction, Gohan has become a high schooler, and also has a little brother, Goten, who was born after the Cell episode. During another tournament, where the dragon warriors are united again, an incident occurs that involves them in a new adventure involving a cowardly, cold sorcerer creature that conjures up a monster named Buu. The fight with Buu takes us to the end of the long, epic story known as Dragon Ball. Throughout the story, the Dragon Balls become the targets of evil villains and also save the butts of our heroic friends
