A cunning and sly foe, twenty-three year old Vegeta is not easily tricked. His only friend is a middle-aged man named Bardock and he would glady give up his life to save him.

He travels throughout the universe searching for the son he lost long ago. His mind knows that his quest is practically impossible, but his heart continues to hang on to hope.

His dream is universal domination and he'll do anything to obtain it. Habitually flanked by Dodoria and Zaabon, Furiza always remains in his first form and uses a hovercraft for travel.

After the members of his race were either killed or enslaved by Furiza, he swore fealty to escape death himself. After the Changeling took a particular liking to him, he quickly moved up in the ranks.

As an infant Goku was sent to destroy all of its lifeforms, but the planet survived intact. New home of the Saiya-jin race.

Original home of the Saiya-jin before Furiza destroyed it. Was destroyed by Furiza on the day Goku was born.

A device that Furiza's men use to read ki and to keep in contact with each other. It's worn over your ear with a semi-transparent green lens that sits over your eye and enables you to see ki level readings.

The act committed by a prince when he kills his father to inherit the throne. If the previous king happens to die of some other cause (such as from an illness), then those who wish to rule fight to the death for the right.

Originally sent to Earth to prepare it for real estate, this Saiya-jin boy knows nothing of his past. Raised in the forest by a lone alpha female wolf, he also knows nothing about the human race.

A retired martial artist who claims Kamesennin Muten Roshi as his sensei. He adopts the unusual little boy found outside his home, and calls him his grandson.

She and Goku meet when their paths cross while searching for the dragonballs. Buruma eventually abandons her quest to assist Goku instead.

Though he is a pervert with the world's largest porn collection, Roshi is one of the greatest martial artists to ever grace the surface of Chikyuu. With his detailed knowledge of battle techniques, Goku, Kuririn, and Yamucha all find him very helpful at times.

This little thirteen-year-old has a tough-guy attitude and a shiny bald head. After becoming fed-up with the treatment he received from the other monks at the monastery, he traveled to Roshi for training.

After he and his partner, Pu'ar, steal from Goku and Buruma, Goku issues a challege for the return of their things. He eventually becomes friends with Goku and Buruma and joins their quest for the dragonballs.

Silent, morose, and very, very dangerous, this unusual warrior originally came from a distant planet in outer space. He shares a bond with Kami, the god of Chikyuu-sei, though his father had been the one to originally separate from him.

Uranai Baba is Muten Roshi's older sister (though they look nothing alike). She lives in a castle in the desert and charges people one-million zenni to answer a question of their choosing. If you are unable to pay for her services, the only other option is to fight her five warriors and win.

She aids Yamucha in theft, but draws the line at kidnapping. The small flying blue cat graduated from shapeshifter school at the top of her class and is able to hold a form for as long as she desires.

This perverted pig was Pu'ar's classmate, but is considerably less skilled in the art of shapeshifting (he can only hold a form for five minutes). Oolong is a coward and a con artist.

This young woman changes form when she sneezes. One persona is a sweet, blue-haired girl who wouldn't hurt a fly. The other is of a blond criminal who has a habit of being excessively aggressive and trigger happy.

After being aided by Goku, this girl extracted a promise from the oblivious boy. She lives in a castle on Fire Mountain with her father, Gyuu Mao.

Named after Goku's grandfather, this boy has little opprotunity under ChiChi's strict tutelage to just be a child. It's up to his father to make sure that he experiences fun once in a while.

Goku and ChiChi have a small home here in the forest.

Gyuu Mao and his daughter ChiChi live upon this mountain in a grand castle. It has the name of Fire Mountain because of the flames that can't be put out by ordinary means. Gyuu Mao uses them to defend his home.

This tiny town is located five miles outside Meimori's southern border. Most of its citizens are kindly people, though there are a few who insist on making trouble. The mayor's name is Seion Isei.

This village is visited nightly by five restless spirits; Goku and Buruma give them the closure that they desire.

Roshi's home is on this tiny island in the middle of the ocean. He lives there with only his turtle Umigame for company.

The forest where Goku was raised by the wolves and the location of Son Gohan's home. Received its name by the way sunlight and moonlight are partially blocked by the many tall trees within.

Capsule Corporation worldwide headquarters is in this major city.

A weapon given to Goku by his grandfather, Gohan. Has the ability to grow in length upon command.

These seven magical spheres (created by Kami) grants a single wish when all are collected and the Eternal Dragon, Shenron, is summoned. Once used, the balls become dormant for one year.

A device that Buruma created to easily track the energy of the dragonballs. It displays information on a green-lined grid.

Japanese name means "candy cloud". Flying yellow cloud Goku received from Kamesennin upon rescuing his turtle, Umigame.

Kamesennin's signature ki attack. Goku learns this by only watching the master do it once. It's a blue beam that can be charged with energy (based on ki level) to create a gentle sting or a planet-destroying blast.

Yamucha's signature attack from his teenage years. He curls his fingers slightly so that they resemble the fangs of a wolf and attacks with the speed of the ferocious animals.
