Bios
Goku "Son Goku"
Well, not much is known about this character. He doesn't appear to have a very large part in the story line and seems like more of a character Toriyama just threw in the manga to take up extra space. I'm just kidding of course. Goku is the main character of Dragonball/Z/Gt. He was born in the 737 on a planet called Vegeta and came to Earth to destroy the earthlings living on it, and prepare it for sale by Emporer Frieza. Fortunately, he fell over a cliff one day when his his adopted grandfather Gohan was strolling through the forest with him. He bonked his head and lost the memories of his mission. Although GOku is by blood a Saiyan, he refers to himself as " THe Saiyan raised on Earth", Because although he doesn't want to deny his roots, He also doesn't want to declare himself a member of a group that destroyed galaxies without a second thought. In the year 757 A.D. he marries his wife Chi Chi, and in May 757 A.D. Chi Chi gives birth to their first child, Gohan. Skipping ahead, sometime before May in 769 their second child Gotne is born. Goku dies twice during Dragonball Z. THe first time is by Piccolo's hand while restraining his brother Raditz and the second time was when he teleported Cell to King Kia's planet so that Cell would detonate "safely". After his first death, he was brought back to life with the Dragonballs and after the second death, Revered Kaioshin gave his life to Goku. Later in GT, Goku leaves with Shenron, but whether he's dead of not is not revealed, it's up to the viewer to decide. Goku's home address is Mt. Paozu is 439 East District. At the end of Dragonball Z Goku is 48 years old, and that's even including his years spent in the Room of Spirit and Time. At his fully grown state he stands 5'7" tall and weighs 137lbs
Goten " Son Goten"
Goku's second son born on the years 769 A.D. Goten is able to turn Super Saiyan at a much earlier age then his brother and father due to the fact that he was born when his father was much stronger, (which is actually scientifically impossible since the Theory of Inheritance of Aquired Traits has been dis proved, but what the heck, it's just manga. Goten resembles his father very much, and his facial features are almost identical to Goku's ecsept that his face is just slightly rounder. Goten is famous for his miss-pronunciation of his father's move as, Kamehameha, ans aside from that has only one other attack which is called Totsugeki, which translates to........Attack!
Gohan "Son Gohan"
Gohan is Goku and ChiChi's first son who is named after Goku's adopted grandfather Gohan. He was born in the year 757 A.D. and when he first appears in the series he's four years old . Gohan's story is long and involved, but the most important fact about Gohan is that he has the potential to be the strongest character in the series, but due to his studies, he is less powerful than his fater. He marries Videl and they have a tomboyish daughter named Pan.
Angela "Enjiira"
The girl who decelops a quick, but fickle crush on Gohan. She goes on one date with him.
Android Number 8 "Jinzouningen Hachi Gou AKA Hachan"
Dr. Gero's first "successful" creation, ( although there was a big plot hole in the anime that said Dr. Frappa invented him, but I won't touch on that here). Number 8 was magnificently powerful, but possessed a conscience. He befriended Goku who renamed him, Hatchan.
Andriod Number 13 "Jinzouningen Juusan Gou" Bojack
The tall hickish leader of the Andriods and main villian in DBZ Movie 7, " The Three Super Saiya-jin". He's basically a rip-off of Cell. By hinself he's fairly powerful, but when he absorbs two components for Artificial Humans 14 and 15, he turns into a BIG Artifical Human who I must admit is really cool.
Andriod Number 14 " Jinzouningen Juuyon Gou"
A big blue guy who looks like he can from a Conan the Barbarian movie. He's the "strongman" of the three Andriods in DBZ Movie 7 and eventually faced off one on one against Trunks.
Andriod Number 15 " Jinzouningen Juugo Gou"
My personal favorite of the three villians in DBZ Movie 7. He's an "acoholic andriod" that takes a swig from his whiskey can every few minutes. He dresses similar to Boy George and he's also very tiny. He's killed by Vegeta and in my opinion has the funniest death.
Andriod Number 16 " Jinzouningen Juuroku Gou"
A pacfist Artifical Human, Number 16 is solely devoted to killing GOku, but as for the Earth, he loves it and wishes no harm to come to it. He suppresses his goal to kill Goku long enough to join the Cell Game, but ends up sacrificing himself against Cell to make Gohan achieve Super Saiyan Level 2.
Android Number 17 " Jinzouningen Juunana Gou"
One half of the "Devilish Pair", Number 17 is an enhanced human. His sister number 18. His last real battle takes place with Piccolo and what a fight it is! He's later absorbed by Cell and dies with him' but he resurrected with the Dragon Balls.
(Future) Only different from his counterpart of the past in his lust for blood, he still has the same adventureseeking attitude of present day Andriod 17. But you know, ther's a slight twist, like how he rag races air cars.... on people. He's killed after Trunks returns for the past after the Cell Game.
Android Number 18 " Jinzouningen Juuachi Gou"
More thoughtful and calm than her brother, Number 17, Number 18 takes a much larger role on the series as she goes on to marry Krillin later in Dragonball Z, and fight alongside Goku for a bit in Dragonball Gt. She was another on of Dr. Gero's evil enhanced humans.
(Future) Very much like Number18 of present day, she has the same vain attitude and apathy for her Brothers' reckless habits. But of course, she has her violent side too and can get very...... touchy if she doesn't like an opponent. She is killed by Trunk right after Trunks kills number 18 after he returns to the present after the Cell Game.
Andriod Number 19 "Jinzouningen Juukyu Go"
An entirely mechanical machine' Number 19 has the ability to suck ki into a red ball on his palms. Vegeta takes care of this by ripping off his hands
And Number 20 " Jinzouningen Nijuu Gou"
The robot shell serves as a device to carry on Dr. Gero's life. Encased in the head of this robot is Dr. Gero's brain. Built to look and talk like him, this robot is a "reincarnation", if you will, of Dr. Gero. Like 19 he can also absorb energy in through his palms, and is eventually killed by his on creation, Andriod 17.
Arale Norimaki
The main character of Dr. Slump' Arale is a little robot built by Senbe who is hyperactive and fun loving. Even though she's just a little kid, (she was born in the year 745 A.D.), She's brilliant and is already in High School. Goku meets up with her in the manga, and she travels aroung with him for a bit on the Nimbus. Later on she rescues Goku by beating up Blue Shotgun.
Akira Toriyama
Tomriyama-san himself shows up in Dragonball ( drawn in his robot form) from time to time as a joke. He was born in 1955 and worked on Dragonball from 1984 to 1995.
