| This is a list of Earthlings who appear in the ] and ] ] of the '']'' ], including the ]. Characters belonging to the ] or ] races that live on Earth in the seir respective lists. Following some characters' biographies are external links that focus on that character. | |||
| == Z Fighters == | |||
| === Chaozu === | |||
| (English dubs: '''Chiaotzu''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Chaozu|餃子|''Chaozu''}}''' is seemingly a small, doll-like human with plain white skin and red cheeks. While not outstanding in physical prowess compared to other superhuman warriors in ''Dragon Ball'', Chaozu has considerable potency in ], especially in ]. When first introduced, Chaozu is a student of the ] and the constant companion of fellow student ]; he quickly amends his ways though and joins Goku and his friends. He continues to support them throughout the series in acts such as searching for the Dragon Balls, training to fight threats, and supporting others during fights. His main role is in Dragon Ball, though he plays a part in the fight against Vegeta during the ]. During the ], the ], and ], he is only shown a few times while he trains with Tenshinhan. | |||
| === Kuririn === | |||
| {{main|Kuririn}} | |||
| (English dubs: '''Krillin''') | |||
| === Muten Roshi === | |||
| {{Main|Muten Roshi}} | |||
| (English dubs: '''Master Roshi''') | |||
| === Tenshinhan === | |||
| {{main|Tenshinhan}} | |||
| (Cancelled ] dub: '''Shinto''') | |||
| (English dubs: '''Tien''', '''Tien Shinhan''') | |||
| === Uub === | |||
| {{main|Majin Buu}} | |||
| (FUNimation dub: '''Uub''') | |||
| === Yajirobe === | |||
| {{nihongo|'''Yajirobe'''|ヤジロベー|Yajirobē}} is a human who first appeared near the end of '']''. He is a ] who used to live in the wilderness. He met Son Goku when the young hero ate his fish that he was cooking. Yajirobe and Goku had a fight. The two become friends just as ]'s third offspring ] shows up wanting the One-Star ] Yajirobe has. Yajirobe defeats and eats Cymbal. With the Piccolo Daimao threat abound, Yajirobe cowers instead of joining Goku to defeat him. He supports the ] mostly from the sidelines after by living with ], growing and delivering ] to the group. Yajirobe shows a surprising moment of bravery during the ], when he uses his katana to sever ] ]'s tail, and later slicing through Vegeta's armor. After that, his role as a fighter ends, and his overall role in the series is just giving the heroes Senzu Beans, although he is the spotlight of some comic-relief filler during the Artificial Human and Cell Sagas. By the time of the Buu Saga, he is a minor character, but still appears. He only briefly appears in ''Dragon Ball GT'', now having a mustache, in episode 40. | |||
| In the alternate Future Trunks timeline, Yajirobe, interestingly enough, didn't go into hiding with Master Roshi and the others but instead fought against the Artificial Humans. Although this is not seen in the Trunks TV Special, a brief scene of his death is seen in the Perfect Cell saga of the anime. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ], who also voices Kuririn (this was more than likely done because the original manga has Goku saying that Yajirobe's voice sounds like Kuririn's). | |||
| === Yamucha === | |||
| {{main|Yamucha}} | |||
| === Mr. Satan === | |||
| His name in the original Japanese version media is '''Mister Satan'''. It was changed to '''Hercule''' in ]'s English censored ] and Viz Media English version of the manga. In the U.S. edition of ] it is explained that Hercule is the real name of the character while Mr. Satan was his stage name though no such explanation was present in the original. This change is due to ] references being removed for the sensitivities of Western audiences when anime is ] for American television. He is voiced by ] in the original Japanese version, ] in the FUNimation version and by ] in the English version from the UK and Canada. | |||
| Even though he has never directly saved the world he is highly responsible for defeating ] as he convinced everyone on earth to give power to ]'s Genki Dama, along with his direct role in defeating Majin Buu. A common point of humor after his first appearance in the Cell Saga is his extremely inflated ego, arrogance and craving for the spotlight which the Z Fighters find annoying at best. Interestingly enough, he never lost any World Tournament that he attended in the series, nor has he died, making him one of the few characters not to have done so along with Pan, his granddaughter. He has a daughter named ] who dates/marries ]. A refence to this is made in the video game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2. If you match up Adult Son Gohan and Mr. Satan the opening diaolouge starts with Mr. Satan saying " If you want to go out with my daughter you'll have to go through me." Gohan then says " Wait it's not like that." The fight then begins. | |||
| == Supporters == | |||
| === Artificial Human #8 === | |||
| (English Anime: '''Android #8''', English Manga: '''Mechanical Man #8''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Android 8|人造人間8号|''Jinzō'ningen Hachigō''}}''' is the first artificial human seen in the series, and the eighth in the series of artificial humans built by ]. Though it is not revealed if he was, in actuality, an ] or ], the '']'' series creator ] obviously had the character resemble ] in the famous novel '']'' by ]. He was nicknamed "Eighter" ("Ha-chan" in the Japanese audio) by ]. He then took it on as his real name. He was first seen when ] tried to use him to fight Goku as a last resort inside Muscle Tower. He helped take down General White and drive the ] away from Jingle Village. | |||
| He makes small cameos during The ] and ]. He is last seen in GT when Goku teleports everyone on Earth to the new Tuffle planet. | |||
| He also made his first appearance as a playable character in the game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Artificial Human #16 === | |||
| (English Adaptations: '''Android #16''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Android #16|人造人間16号|''Jinzō'ningen Jurokugō''}}''' is a large ] with red hair and a green armor. Unlike other the Androids, #16 is gentle by nature, which deemed him a failure in ]'s eyes. #16 has a strong connection with nature and is almost always seen having birds, squirrels, or other small animals crawl upon him. #16 is also completely mechanical and was not a human prior to his construction. His only objective was to assassinate ]. He was awakened by the cyborgs ] and ], much to Gero's dismay. While he was much stronger than the two, he took orders only when relating to hunting down Goku. He helped #18 escape from ] after failing to stop him from absorbing #17, and became badly damaged during his fight with Cell. ] brought #16 to Capsule Corp. for repairs after #18 was absorbed. ] and her father ] repaired #16 and removed his self-destruct bomb (without telling him) in fear of it exploding. #16 came to the Cell games but didn't fight just yet, personally vowing to stop Cell. After trying to self-destruct while holding Cell and realizing his bomb was removed, his body was destroyed by Perfect Cell. However, his head remained intact, and requested that ] throw him over to the fight, to give Gohan words of encouragement. Cell completely destroys #16 after he gets his word. By his noble sacrifice, he was able to help push Gohan over the edge to ]. In Trunks' timeline, #16 was never mentioned. For some reason, the Z-Fighters never wished #16 back to life with the Dragon Balls. It is presumed that because he was a complete machine, he could not be revived, unlike #17, whom was originally a human but modified, according to Android #18 and Kuririn. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| ===Artificial Human #17 === | |||
| (English Adaptations: '''Android #17''') | |||
| {{main|No. 17}} | |||
| ===Artificial Human #18=== | |||
| (English Adaptations: '''Android #18''') | |||
| {{main|No. 18}} | |||
| === Bora === | |||
| A powerful ] ], he lives at the base of ] with his son ]. He is muscular, tall, and a man of few words. Shortly after befriending ], he fends off ]'s men by himself, but he is later speared by ], a merciless assassin. Goku avenges him by taking training from ] and defeating Tao Pai Pai himself. When ] is summoned again, Goku's wish is that Bora be brought back to life. In his next appearance, he assists Goku once more by throwing ] (with an injured Goku on his back) up Karin Tower. Bora is seen again with his son in the ] ] of '']'' when the ] arrive to ] for training against ] and ]. He is shown again in the ] when he and Upa give energy to Goku for his Genki Dama. He also briefly appears in the '']'' episode #40, "Piccolo's Decision". | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Bulma === | |||
| {{main|Bulma}} | |||
| === Chichi === | |||
| * ''']''': ] and ] | |||
| (English dubs: '''Chi-Chi''', '''Chi Chi''', or '''Chi-chi''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Chichi|チチ|''Chichi''}}''', known as '''Chi-Chi''' in the ] ], is the wife of ], and the mother of ] and ]. She is often depicted as a sometimes nagging, but fundamentally well-meaning, who sincerely looks for her children and husband's well-being even when their views clash. She and Goku first meet as children, and Goku promises to marry her, thinking marriage is a kind of food. Several years later, she finds him at the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budôkai, and despite confessing that he misunderstood what she had meant, Goku fulfills his promise and asks her to marry him. As she gets older, she disapproves of Goku's lifestyle, enough to ban Gohan from following in his foot steps, but due to the threats like ] and ], she is forced to let him train under the blatant conditions. As the years pass, she relaxes this with Goten by training him herself while Gohan is away at high school. She has a wild temper and can react in violent anger over the slightest annoyance, most would fear for their own safety by avoiding to infuriate her. Despite her appearance, Chichi is an accomplished martial artist, having made it to the quarter-finals of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament and years later trained Goten in martial arts. | |||
| === Dr. Briefs === | |||
| The father of ], Dr. Briefs (also translated as '''Dr. Brief''', from the original Japanese version ''Burīfu-hakase'') is an elderly, brilliant and eccentric scientist. He is one of the smartest men in the world. Dr. Briefs is the founder of Capsule Corporation and the man responsible for the invention of Dynocaps or Hoi-Poi Capsules, which can shrink inanimate objects down to pocket sized capsule of namesake. He is easy-going and friendly. Dr. Briefs rarely leaves his home, even if he knows he had a death wish such as in the ], he and his wife refuse to leave their pets even after Capsule Corp. has been specifically targeted for destruction; they know they can always be wished back and he can often be found tinkering on a number of complicated gadgets while surrounded by his beloved pets. His favorite pet is a small black cat named "Tama" in the original anime, but re-named "Scratch" in the ] dub. | |||
| He made Goku a spaceship for his travel to the planet ], modeled from the spaceships of ] and the one Goku came to earth in as a baby. He and Bulma restore ] who was badly damaged by ], showing off their technical know-how; he also heavily modifies and improves Goku's spaceship, and creates a gravity room for Vegeta to train in. Usually Dr. Briefs is seen with cigarette in his mouth (which has been edited out in the early dub). In '']'', ] reluctantly takes his place as the President of Capsule Corp.; it is unknown if he had retired or passed away. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Grandpa Son Gohan === | |||
| (English dubs: '''Grandpa Gohan''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Grandpa Son Gohan|孫悟飯じいさん|''Son Gohan jīsan''}}''' became the adoptive father and grandfather of ] when he found him near the landing site of his space ship when he was an infant. Gohan was taught martial arts by ] and passed on his knowledge to Goku. Gohan warned Goku to never look at a ] and to stay that he needs to train harder and make his tail work for him instead of against him. He also appears in the ] mini-saga "The Wedding arc" where he is an assistant to ] and Goku must use the Magical Furnace to put out the fire on ]'s castle. Gohan then only appears in brief flashbacks for the rest of the series. | |||
| It was strongly hinted that Gohan was killed by Goku when he was in his ] form. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Lunch === | |||
| (Cancelled ] dub: '''Marilynn''') | |||
| (English dubs: '''Launch''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Lunch|ランチ|''Ranchi''}}''' is ]'s house maid retrieved by ] and ] in order to receive martial arts training from him. She has a ]; whenever she gets her sensitive nose tickled to the point of sneezing, she switches between a sweet, innocent girl with ] hair to a blonde bombshell who commits crimes for fun and is quick to respond with gunfire when angered. Neither of Lunch’s personalities remembers what the other says or does, and it is never said if the evil side knows of the innocent self (though she hates to sneeze, since she reverts personality again); however, the innocent Lunch is aware of her evil side, although she doesn't really seem very concerned over her presence, later her evil side is shown less evil and simply bearing a short temper. | |||
| In the ] ] of '']'', she tries to build a relationship with ], but his constant training makes it fail. She reappears as her innocent self in the anime only to give her energy to Son Goku for his Genki Dama.<ref></ref> | |||
| She is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Marron === | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Marron|マーロン|''Māron''}}''' is the daughter of ] and ]. She was born before the ] in '']''. As a little girl, she resembles her father. She has his eyes and nose, or lack there of. However, she does indeed have a nose, though small, and as she grows older, Marron begins to look more like her mother. | |||
| She is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Mrs. Briefs === | |||
| Mrs. Briefs is Bulma's mother and the wife of ]. She is always interested in flirting with ] and ]. In the ], she comments that she would like to go on a date with Vegeta. When Vegeta was offered a place to stay by Bulma — not long after Vegeta had qualms with the ] — he was immediately welcomed in and taken aback by Mrs. Briefs; the shock of someone being so pleasant to him almost overwhelmed him. | |||
| Not much is known about her, but in the anime she's perpetually happy, and is characterized as the archetypal blonde airhead who loves shopping and eating expensive cakes. | |||
| She is voiced in the original Japanese version by ] (DB and DBZ Saiyan Saga) and ] (DBZ and on). | |||
| === Oolong === | |||
| {{For|the Chinese tea|Oolong}} | |||
| (Cancelled ] dub: '''Mao Mao''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Oolong|ウーロン|''Ūron''}}''' is a ] ] ] pig, standing about three feet tall with pale pink skin, who tends to dress in trousers, button-down shirts, and suspenders. He was expelled from shapeshifting training for stealing the teacher's underwear and lacks the ability to change his form for more than five minutes at a time without a break. With his shapeshifting ability, Oolong can look like anything at all. Oolong's initial appearance was as a villain who terrorized a village and kidnapped their young women. ] defeated Oolong and the girls were returned to their village. ] decided that he might be useful on her ] quest and persuaded him to join their expedition. Eventually he becomes good friends with Goku and the others, and helps them to find more Dragonballs. He plays a large role in the beginning of ''Dragon Ball'', but by the end of Dragon Ball Z, he just shows up from time to time. His poor shapeshifting skills (and incompetent cowardice) made him a very weak character that didn't have much to do once the tone was shifted to more serious action. In the ] and in ], he appears quite often as comic relief. Oolong is taken from the pig character ] from the classic ] novel '']''. His name is a play on ]. Oolong is a ] in '']'' only as a shape-shifted bat and missile combo form. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Gyumao === | |||
| (English dubs: '''Ox-King''', '''Ox King''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Gyumao|牛魔王|''Gyūmaō''}}''' is based on ] ("Ox-Demon-King", "Ox Devil Lord" or "Ox Tyrant") a character from the ] novel '']''. Despite his threatening name, he is really quite harmless and fun-loving; given that ''gyū'' is the crest on his helmet, it is incorrectly assumed by fans that ''Gyū'' is his surname and ''Maō'' is his first. He was somewhat demonic and frightening when his castle became engulfed in flames on Frypan Mountain. He wreaked havoc through the village at the foot of the mountain, threatening anyone he presumed would steal his treasure, until ] showed him the error of his ways. He is ]'s father and thus ]'s father-in-law. Gyumao is very strong and trained alongside ] under ]'s tutelage. As the series progresses, Gyūmaō's role lessens in the story and eventually fades into being a background character, used only for slight ]. Gyumao is also the grandfather of ] and ]. In ] ], he has a few large roles though from time to time, mainly accompanying his family and the others. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Pu'ar === | |||
| (Cancelled ] dub: '''Squeeker''', not '''Sparkles''' as is commonly quoted) | |||
| (English dubs:'''Puar''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Pu'ar|プーアル|''Pūaru''}}''' is a soft-spoken ] blue creature and the constant companion of ]. The name is revealed to be a pun on ].<ref>''Dragon Ball'' manga, Volume 2, Akira Toriyama's "Ask Me Anything!" Corner, page 194 — ISBN 1-56931-921-9</ref> Pu'ar is neither a cat or a mouse, albeit the series creator ] stated that he had drawn the character to look a little bit like a cat.<ref>''Dragon Ball'' manga, Volume 2, Akira Toriyama's "Ask Me Anything!" Corner, page 196 — ISBN 1-56931-921-9</ref> Traveling alongside Yamcha, the two worked as a team robbing anyone traveling through the desert area in which they lived. Pu'ar has an innate ability of ] or ], and is nearly always seen simply 'standing' in thin air at about human head height. | |||
| Pu'ar has the unique ability to shapeshift into any form, even inanimate objects, and can hold that form for as long as desired; though strength is not increased by the change, however, as such is unable to turn into something that can be used up like fuel or food. Pu'ar graduated from the same shapeshifting academy as ], although unlike Oolong, Pu'ar had completed all of the academy training and does not have Oolong's difficulties with maintaining a transformed state. Pu'ar shows up quite a bit in the beginning, but becomes less of a presence as the series continues. As the driving theme of the series is mostly about fighting, Pu'ar can do little more than react to the horrors of the latest supervillains in the story. | |||
| There is some debate regarding the character's gender. Despite being portrayed by several female voice actors, the character has been referred to with both male and female pronouns during the ]. Though the issue of gender is never directly addressed, Toriyama has referred to Pu'ar as "he" while answering a fan question in the ''"Ask Me Anything"'' section in the back of the ]. Some fans believe that since shape-shifters can assume many different forms, gender is a moot point. | |||
| In Dragonball GT, he is seen in the last episode with Yamcha as they are visited by Goku. They're located in the same desert and house as they were in Dragonball. Throughout the series, he is only seen from time to time and has no big roles in GT at all. His role started fading in Dragonball Z. | |||
| Pu'ar is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Tournament Announcer === | |||
| The commentator for every Tenka-ichi Budôkai from the beginning of '']'' to the end of '']''. Over the years he has become an acquaintance with the ] and knows that they are responsible for saving the ] from Cell, not ]. In every tournament, aside from the 21st, an unfortunate event occurs that enhances his role, such as in the ]; he witnessed ] slain by ] and later he becomes very important as he witnesses ]'s fight with ] from the sidelines with the others, making him one of the few civilians to know the truth. At the end of ''Dragon Ball Z'', his age starts to show as he has lost hair and has very noticeable wrinkles. In the final episode of '']'' (110 years after the end of DBZ), his descendent is shown to look just like him, albeit with white hair and different attire. Although he knows Mr. Satan is not the hero the public believes him to be, he praises him in order to make fans cheer. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Upa === | |||
| The son of ], he accompanies ] for a short time during the ] in order to recover all of the Dragon Balls so they can wish his father back to life. Upa is a member of the native tribe who serve as the guardians of Karin Tower. His father is the chief, however, the rest of the tribe is not seen until the end of the manga. He participates in the fight against ]'s fighters and helps Pu'ar defeat ] (a kickboxing vampire) with garlic breath. He later briefly, along with his father Bora, help Goku and Yajirobe up Korin Tower in the Piccolo arc. He is also seen in the uncut version in DBZ yelling at Launch who is going throught their belongings. At the end of ''Dragon Ball Z'', now an adult, he is shown giving energy to Goku's ]. Upa and his father also make a final cameo appearance in ''Dragon Ball GT'' on the episode "Piccolo's Decision". | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Uranai Baba === | |||
| (English dubs: '''Fortuneteller Baba''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Uranai Baba|占いババ|''Uranai Baba''}}''' is an old witch that has been ] for more than 500 years. She is ]'s older sister, whom he often bickers with. With her unique ] capabilities, she is able to ] using her ]. She is more than happy to tell anyone what their future holds for them, although, the price is very costly at a payment of '''{{Unicode|Ƶ}}'''10,000,000,000 ]. However, the alternative way of gaining one's fortune is to defeat her five "other-worldly" martial arts experts. She has a knack for ] skills with her crystal ball, allowing her to see any place on ], or even look deep into the future. She can also travel to the "Other World" and back. She correctly predicted that Goku would one day become a great and famous hero. | |||
| She is voiced in the original Japanese version by ] and later ]. | |||
| === Videl ===<!-- This section is linked from ] --> | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Videl|ビーデル|''Bīderu''}}''' is the daughter of ] (known as Hercule in the censored productions of Ocean, the older English dub). Mr. Satan is very protective of her, especially in respect to boys. She grew up learning martial arts hoping to be as great as her dad, when in fact, unknown to herself she was already better than him and doubts her father is capable of defeating Cell, an assumption she would eventually guess right. She is a tough, tomboyish character, raised with fame all around her. In her spare time, Videl fights crime in Satan City. She becomes suspicious of Gohan after meeting him at Orange Star High School, and she even follows him for a brief time to learn more about him. Videl eventually discovers Gohan’s secret identity as the Great Saiyaman, as well as the son of Goku, a former tournament champion. She forces Gohan to teach her how to fly, and makes him enter the 25th Tenka'ichi Budokai under the threat that she'll reveal his identity to the world. During the tournament, she witnesses Gohan's transformation into Super Saiyain and recalls Cell fighting a young boy with gold hair and realized it was Gohan, discovering that Gohan was the one who defeated Cell; as well as, learning about the other Z-Warriors. During their time together, Videl begins to fall in love with Gohan, which is shown notably when she becomes upset upon hearing of, and refuses to believe, Gohan's supposed death. After the Buu saga, the two get together, and have a child named ]. | |||
| In the DBZ movie '']'' and in '']'', she becomes the '''Great Saiyaman MK II''' ('''Great Saiyawoman''' in the English dub) and teams up with Gohan to fight crime. | |||
| She is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| ===Umigame=== | |||
| (]] '']'') ]'s friend and long-time companion, the good-natured lovable turtle lives in the Kame House with the elderly hermit. During ] in the ] ], he celebrates his 1,000th birthday in episode #117. He plays a relatively small part in the ], but he has quite a few large roles in the anime. When he first appeared, he was in the wilderness, alone and lost. He was picking ]s when he got separated from his friends and had since been wandering around on land for over a year. Goku kindly takes on the task of returning him to the ocean, which he is very grateful for. It is Umigame who introduces Muten-Rôshi to ] and ]. Umigame does not care much for Muten-Rôshi's perverse interests, enjoying honest interests himself. He was one of the first animal characters Goku meets and befriends, giving a small sense of irony that in the final '']'' episode, he's one of the few characters that Goku bids farewell to after departing with ]. In the ], his power reading is 0.001, evident when Bulma tests ]'s scouter in the ]. However Umigame has used martial arts before. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| ===Z=== | |||
| Z is the title character of the '']'' series. He is a ] of ], wearing an orange-and-blue '']'' and carrying what is apparently the ] on his back. He is also able to perform the Nekohameha, a takeoff on the Kamehameha, and is somehow able to go to a ]-like power, or in his case, Super Neko Majin. It is revealed in the final two chapters of ''Neko Majin Z'' that it was, in fact, Goku who trained him in the first place. | |||
| == Supervillains == | |||
| ===Artificial Human #13=== | |||
| (English Adaptations: '''Android 13''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Artificial Human #13|人造人間13号|''Jinzō'ningen Jūsangō''}}''' is the thirteenth Artificial Human in the series of Artificial Humans built by Dr. Gero. He has an Southern accent and wears Southern-style clothing.(causing ] to call him a " red ribbon ]") He was built along with Artificial Humans #14 and #15 with the mission of killing Goku. He "evolved" into the much more powerful Super Artificial Human #13 after absorbing key components from the defeated Artificial Human #14 and Artificial Human #15. He was killed by Super Saiyan Goku fueled by a Genki Dama. Only the fact that an Artificial Human #13 was created, but deemed a failure and subsequently destroyed was mentioned in the manga. | |||
| His ], ], died of cancer in the esophagus. Another seiyū whose voice is similar to Sogabe's replaced him for '']'' in ]. In ], his voice was played by ]. | |||
| ===Artificial Human #14 === | |||
| (English Adaptations: '''Android 14''') | |||
| Artificial Human #14 is a large grayish/bluish ] with a braided ponytail. He is almost completely silent; the only word he utters is "Goku", presumably to emphasize the fact that his sole purpose is to kill Goku. However in, the English dub of the movie, he does have some lines. One instance is his fight with ] where he taunted him. He was sliced in half by Future Trunks's sword causing him to explode. After his defeat, two of his parts were absorbed by #13. Only the fact that an #14 was created and subsequently destroyed was mentioned in the ]. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| ===Artificial Human #15 === | |||
| (English Adaptations: '''Android 15''') | |||
| Artificial Human #15 is a small purple ] with a large hat, shades and found to consistently be drinking an ]. He is the exact opposite of his counterpart 14, as he has many lines and his body structure is short and scrawny compared to #14's large size and muscles. He was ]d by ] ] during their fight. After his defeat, two of his parts were absorbed by #13. Only the fact that an Artificial Human #15 was created and subsequently destroyed was mentioned in the ]. | |||
| ===Artificial Human #19 === | |||
| (English Adaptations: '''Android 19''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Artificial Human #19|人造人間19号|''Jinzōningen Jūkugō''}}''' is one of the first Artificial Humans seen in '']''. He is an energy absorbing-model, round in appearance with ]-colored skin. #19 is the only other energy absorbing model type Artificial Human outside of #20 and Super #17. Artificial Human #19 was actually created for the sole purpose of transporting Dr. Gero's brain to his Artificial Human body. Gero later decided to make Artificial Human #19 into a combat Artificial Human and appeared 3 years after ] warning alongside Artificial Human #20. He is completely mechanical and has no actual personality. Though not particularly strong, he managed to beat Goku in battle due to the heart virus that he had contracted. #19 almost killed Goku by draining him of his energy, but he was interrupted by Vegeta who proceeded to beat him quite effortlessly. Vegeta then transformed into a ] and taunted him mercilessly. After #19 had his energy absorbing hands literally yanked off by Vegeta, he tried to flee only to be vaporized by Vegeta's "big bang attack" leaving only his head behind. | |||
| Many years later, in '']'', everyone escapes from Hell and Android 19 is among them. He is easily defeated by energy blasts from Son Goten and Trunks, the son of Vegeta. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||

| A Cell Jr. is a minuscule child-like version of ]. Cell spawned several of these beings during his battle with Son Gohan to battle the spectating ] in an effort to make Gohan angry. The Cell Jr.'s were very strong, capable of beating all the Z fighters, with only Future Trunks, Vegeta and Piccolo capable of standing against them for any time, defeating even Goku, who was weakened by his earlier fight with Cell. When Gohan finally did snap, he dispatched them very quickly. They have a vocabulary limited to "Ki!" and "Yah!" in the Japanese version of the anime, but both the ] and ] dubs of the series have the Cell Jr.'s taunt the Z Fighters with child-like phrases. | |||
| ===Dr. Cochin=== | |||
| ((English Adaptations: '''Dr. Kochin''') | |||
| Dr. Cochin was ]'s assistant who was, in actuality, a gigantic ]. He may have been human, and whether he was given his robotic body from Dr. Uiro or he himself built his robot body wasn't addressed. Even though he appeared old and harmless, Dr. Cochin was actually well-equipped for fighting: his hand could transform into a ], while his cane could hurl energy blasts. Cochin is the one who created the three bio-mechanical warriors Kishime, Misokatsun and Ibifurya. He gathered the ] and wished for Dr. Uiro's freedom from his icy prison in the mountains after fifty years. Cochin was killed when Dr. Uiro accidentally knocked him over a ledge in the laboratory; his body got too close to the conductor used to power Dr. Uiro's robot body which caused his body to be electrocuted and he exploded in midair when falling to his death. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Dr. Gero===<!-- This section is linked from ] --> | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Dr. Gero|ドクター・ゲロ|''Dokutā Gero''}}''' is the former chief scientist of the ] and mad scientist super villain who houses an especially deep sense of loathing for ] for destroying the Red Ribbon army. He turned himself into a cyborg by implanting his brain into a robot body. He first appeared under the identity of Artificial Human #20 with ] to assassinate Goku, both absorb energy from small red devices on the palms of their hands. Before battling the Artificial Humans, Gero revealed his past to Goku and the others. Gero had created a small insect like device that followed Goku through out his life after the army fell years ago, collecting his data and analyzing his combat techniques, as well as techniques from others such as ], ] and ]. | |||
| This data was stored into the memory banks of all Gero's successful creations (Artificial Human 8 was the first functioning Artificial Human, 1-7 were not seen because they failed to function. Which also means all Artificial Human numbers prior to ] did not work). Gero's data however stopped after Goku went to ] and outer space thus, missing the information regarding Super Saiyans. The Artificial Humans were created for the sole purpose of killing Goku and each one was created for that purpose alone, the Artificial Humans are in fact a living extension of Gero's seething hatred and twisted obsession with Goku and getting revenge for his fallen army. This explains why each Artificial Human has the Red Ribbon logo on their outfits somewhere. Artificial Human #19 was the first to fight and he battled Goku, failing at first but eventually overcoming Goku as soon as his crippling heart virus kicked in. Before Goku could have died though, Vegeta stepped in and fought #19 in Goku's place. After #19 was destroyed by Vegeta, Gero fled out of fear with the intention of activating the cyborgs, ] and ]. Once he activated them, they quickly rebelled on their creator. #17 kicked his head off and crushed it. Gero's ultimate project ] would later be unleashed to finish the doctor's dark dreams but would also ultimately fail and die at the hands of his hated enemy's oldest (and only, at this time) son, Gohan. In the anime, Dr. Gero watched with Freeza, Cell, and the Ginyu Special Corps as Kid Buu fought Goku and the others. | |||
| In '']'', he found ] wandering the gates of Hell and formed an alliance with him to create ], a super powered Artificial Human that would allow them to get revenge on Goku. They created a new #17, named Hell Fighter #17, designed to manipulate and control the real Artificial Human #17 to open a portal from Earth to Hell. This let a number of villains from Hell to escape and forced Goku to enter Hell, the doctors then fled with Hell Fighter #17 and closed the portal up, trapping Goku there with a newly upgraded ] and Cell to deal with. | |||
| Together, Dr. Gero and Myu used their twin #17's to fuse and become the unstoppable Super Hell Fighter #17. Super #17 made short work of all the Z fighters. Gero's plan was going perfectly until ] grabbed him from behind and threatened to kill him if he didn't call Super #17 off. Gero ordered Super #17 to stand down but Dr. Myu revealed that he had reprogrammed Super #17 to obey his orders above Gero's and then ordered Super #17 to fire on Gero. Pan flew out of the way as Gero was blasted by Artificial Human #17, killing him once again. In ] timeline, Gero is killed while he's human by Artificial Human #17 and #18 the instant they wake up. However, one of Cell's flashbacks during an anime filler episode showed that the Dr. Gero of Cells timeline had, in fact, already changed himself into his Artificial Human #20 body as he sat at his computer. #17 and #18 had also apparently been active for at least some amount of time, though #17 did kill Gero after it was revealed that he was working on a bio-warrior (Cell) that would far exceed #17's power level. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ] and in English (Funimation) by Kent Williams. | |||
| ===Dr. Uiro=== | |||
| (FUNimation dub: '''Dr. Wheelo''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Dr. Uiro|Ｄｒ．ウイロー|''Dr. Uirō''}}''' was a brilliant scientist who performed experiments in biotechnology. He was ridiculed by the other scientists for his unordothox science. Uiro's ultimate goal was to modify the human race using his science. Before he could realize his goal he died but ] turned him into a cyborg. Uiro continued his work until an avalanche traps him in his lab fortress. His name is a pun on '']'', a type of Japanese cake. | |||
| Fifty years later, Dr. Cochin came through for his creator a second time when he gathered the Dragon Balls and wished for ] to thaw the ice-enshrouded fortress. Freed from his frozen sleep, Uiro became obsessed with finding the world's strongest man so that his own brain might be transplanted into it. He sent Cochin and four bio-warriors to find this man, and at first they thought it was ]. But when Kishime, Misokatsun and Ibifurya beat Roshi, Uiro started to doubt they had the right person. | |||
| He then went after Goku's body. When Uiro's further attempts to subdue Goku met with failure, the enraged scientist decided to kill him and all his friends. When that also failed, Uiro decided to just concentrate the energy contained within his laboratory's power core to destroy the entire world. Goku was able to form a ] and used it to destroy Dr. Uiro for good. He is featured as a playable character in '']''. | |||
| === Mai === | |||
| Mai is a brilliant scientist and one of the top assistants to ], the other being ]. She is much brighter than the two who are mainly ] characters while Mai is not (even though she makes a joke about the missing Dragon Ball in the manga), though she is always incompetent at her mission. She mainly appears to retrieve the ], but returns brief in '']'', aged and all. | |||
| She is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Pilaf === | |||
| (English dubs: '''Emperor Pilaf''') | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Pilaf|ピラフ|''Pirafu''}}''' is the first major antagonist during '']''. He is a small, impish monster who craves nothing more than power and dreams of ruling the world. He is an emperor in that he has a crown and a castle. He rules over an empire known as the Reich Pilaf, however; the only members of this evil empire are his two followers ] and ]. Pilaf acts much like a child would with a new toy, he acts as if he's king of the world all because of his "toys". Pilaf in fact has no special powers and usually keeps his henchmen in line through various torture devices he keeps in his castle home. If something bothers Pilaf, he will cry, whine, and complain like a baby until he gets his way. Sometimes he breaks the ] too; when he mentions of how he heard of the Dragon Balls, he is standing next to a shelf full of ] magazines. He collects all of the ] once in order to take over the world, but his plan is foiled by ] and friends. Pilaf captures Goku and the others and plans to kill them in the morning. But during their nightly stay in prison, Goku's friends are freed when Goku transforms into a huge ape monster by looking at the full moon. Pilaf's castle is completely destroyed by the monster ape but Pilaf, Mai, and Shu manage to escape. Pilaf returns a second time, in ] ] to gather the balls up once more, he is stopped by the ], and a third time, he releases ], who betrays him soon after. He also appears at the end of Dragon Ball trying to defeat Goku and Chi-Chi to the Bansho Fan. | |||
| Pilaf is not seen nor heard of throughout '']'', minus a quick flashback by Bulma in a filler episode of the Namek Saga. At the beginning of '']'', Pilaf, Shu, and Mai arrive at ] in order to used the ] to make a wish while Goku continues his training with ]. The trio manages to summon the dragon but are caught by Goku, whom they try to stop with missile launching robot suits but fail. Pilaf complains how he wishes Goku was a kid again so he could beat him up, unaware the eternal dragon hears this wish, grants it, and turns Goku into a child and then scatters the balls across the galaxy, setting into motion the events of the entire series. Pilaf is not seen for the rest of the series except for being forcefully removed from Earth by Super Saiyan 4 Goku along with Shu and Mai before it explodes due to the wish being made on the black star dragon balls. | |||
| Pilaf's design was partially based on ]'s character from the film adaptation of ]. Pilaf wears a similar hat to John's and also has a gigantic pinball machine with piano keys. He also bears similarity in his appearance to Dragonball Z villain, '']''. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ], and ] in the FUNimation English dub. | |||
| === Red Ribbon Army === | |||
| The Red Ribbon Army is a military organization bent on total world domination. They use all forms of high tech weaponry, assault vehicles, and Artificial Human soldiers to carry out their biddings, and have no problem or concern for who or what they destroy in their search for the Dragon Balls. The Red Ribbon Army was actually once a technological corporation that was in an arms race with ], the high tech company run by ]'s father ] and eventually ] in ]. After the Red Ribbon company went bankrupt due to Capsule Corp. out matching their sales, the company became an army and is lead by Commander Red to take over the world through brute force. All Red Ribbon Army members have colored coded names (such as Commander Red, General Blue, General White, etc). The Red Ribbon army was single handedly defeated by ], and would be temporarily resurrected many years later through ] who created a legion of Artificial Human warriors to kill Goku in the name of the army Gero had served. | |||
| ===Shu=== | |||
| ]'s ninja crony who apparently is a humanoid dog. He and ] usually work together to carry out the work of their vertically-challenged and short tempered Emperor. He's one of the first villains in the Dragon Ball series. He's almost comic relief. Originally known as '''Soba''' in the manga, but was renamed to match the anime name given after ] forgot he had named him previously. He appears along with Mai and Pilaf in two episodes of Dragonball GT. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| ===Spopovich=== | |||
| Spopovich is a martial artist who's mind was taken over by ]. He was then sent by Babidi to collect energy at the 25th Tenka-ichi Budôkai. He fights ] in the first round and vicariously takes his revenge on Mr. Satan by nearly beating her close to death. He would have succeeded if Yamu didn't intervene with what was left of his humanity, reminding the brute that such cruelty is not necessary to their mission. Yamu and Spopovich team up on Gohan and, using a special device, they rob him of his energy, though it was Supreme Kai paralyzing Gohan before the attack that attributed to the ease of their task's completion. After completely draining him, they return to their master, Babidi, to deliver the energy to him. Babidi soon decides they have outlived their usefulness and causes him to explode in a slow and painful process. | |||
| === Tao Pai Pai === | |||
| (FUNimation dub: '''Mercenary Tao''' -''Dragon Ball''-, '''General Tao''' -''Dragon Ball Z''-) | |||
| '''{{nihongo|Tao Pai Pai|桃白白|''TaoPaiPai''}}''' is the ]'s younger brother and a highly skilled ]. When he appears in Dragonball he is easily the most powerful of the Earth warriors, even Goku, but as with most of the cast, his power quickly diminishes in comparison later on. He is hired by the ] in order to retrieve the Dragon Balls that Son Goku holds, and to decimate him. He succeeds beating Goku and taking all but one of his Dragon Balls, the four-star ball, which saves Goku's life from his Dodonpa. Tao Pai Pai returns three days later to retrieve the final Dragon Ball; Goku, however, received special training from ] during the three days, and proves to be far too strong for Tao. Tao tries to kill Goku with a grenade, but Goku deflects it straight back at him, greatly wounding him. Tao Pai Pai is rebuilt as a cyborg by his older brother, and competes in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budōkai, brutally defeating ]. He fights ] next, and cuts his chest with a ], leaving the warrior with a scar. Tenshinhan disarms and defeats him shortly after. Tao Pai Pai reappears later in the ] ] during the ] again as an assassin for hire, this time appearing more as comedic relief than a serious character, attempting to steal Goku's Dragon Balls by distracting him with a puzzle. | |||
| While not an actual member of the Red Ribbon Army, his name follows the same pun pattern as the other Red Ribbon members. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| ===Toninjinka=== | |||
| Also known as "Monster Carrot" or "Boss Rabbit", he was the boss of a small group of gangsters that terrorized a small town. The irony is that he is a giant rabbit and his gang members wear fake rabbit ears. The reason Toninjinka is feared so much is because he has the ability to turn people into carrots just by coming into physical contact with them. He was sent to the ] by ] where he's forced to make rabbit shaped treats for kids (a play on an old Japanese folk-tale which says that rabbits live on the moon and make treats for children). He and his two lackeys are able to somehow survive in space. Toninjinka was apparently killed when Master Roshi blew up the moon to stop Son Goku's rampage as an ] during the 21st Matrial Arts Tournament. He is never shown again after his one-episode appearance. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| <br clear="all" /> | |||
| ===Tsuru-Sen'nin=== | |||
| '''Tsuru-Sen'nin''' (The '''Crane Immortal''', ''Shen'' in the English dub) is the master of the Crane School and Tao Pai Pai's older brother. He trained under the same master as Roshi and beheld their master's death. Roshi would later say that he didn't know if their master's death left Shen either disillusioned with good or somehow infected by evil. He trained Tenshinhan and Chaozu and taught them techniques such as Bukujutsu and Dodonpa. Tsuru-Sen'nin is also ]s rival and entered his students in the Tenkaichi Budokai to show his adversary his power and he also wanted both Tenshinhan and Chaozu to become killers. When Tenshinhan refused to kill Goku under his command, Tsuru-Sen'nin ordered Chaozu to paralyze both of the combatants which Chaozu refused to do so the evil teacher threatened him before being blown away by Muten's Kamehameha. Tenshinhan and Chaozu would later leave the school after learning of Tsuru-Sen'nin's evil intentions and decided to later train under other masters. Tsuru-Sen'nin would later return in the next Tenkaichi Budokai to have his cyber brother Tao Pai Pai exact revenge on both Goku and Tenshinhan. After Tenshinhan defeats Tao Pai Pai, he tells Tsuru-Sen'nin to take his brother and leave him alone. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| ===Yamu === | |||
| '''Yamu,''' along with ], was controlled by the wizard Babidi to gather energy for Majin Buu to be awoken. He and Spopovich steal this energy from ] with a large Syringe like device, and take it back to ], who, satisfied with their work, promptly kills them both. He uses magic to make Spopovich explode, and when Yamu attempts to run, he sends his servant Pocus to kill him. Yamu is never mentioned again. | |||
| == Minor characters == | |||
| ===Akkuman === | |||
| (English dubs: '''Spike the Devil Man''', '''The Blue Demon''') | |||
| He was originally ]'s strongest fighter, but was bumped down one rank by ]. His ] has the unusual ability to make people explode into pieces by expanding the evil inside of their heart; apart from that, his skill as a fighter is unbelievable, having won the ] twice in the past. He gave ] a run for his money and tried to blow him to shreds, but unfortunately for him, he didn't know that Goku had a pure heart. He returns in ''Dragon Ball Z'' to give his energy to Goku's Super ]. His name is a pun on ''Akuma'' (] "devil"). It is never revealed if he is an actual demon, or simply a powerful human, however since he can use his wings to fly, they can be assumed to be real and not just part of his suit. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ], and would later appear in the game '']'' as a ]. | |||
| === Mutaito === | |||
| Mutaito is ] and the Tsuru-Sen'nins' teacher. He successfully seals ] in the Denshi Jar with his ] technique, but in invoking the attack, he dies from the severe exhaustion of using the move. In the ], ] actually meets Mutaito, who is the first person in the series to teach Goku about controlling his "]". In fact, he is the first person to even mention the word, which soon becomes the explanation for the incredible ]s and techniques used throughout all of the ''Dragon Ball'' series. In fact, every single known earth-born, natural (i.e., as opposed to artificially-made) being who can control their ki (], ], ], ], ], ], ] (and his descendents), ], and ]) was either directly or indirectly trained by Mutaito, suggesting he might have been the first or, at one point, the only, earth-born, natural being to be able to contorol his or her ki. The only exceptions to this are ] and his son ], who ultimately have the ability to control their ki's because of their connection to ] (King Piccolo was the evil half of Kami), who came from ''outer space'', the planet ], who's native beings know how to control their ki's, possibly ] (it is not known who trained him, but he still has a connection to Mutaito, as his brother, Master Shen, was trained by Mutaito), possibly ] (we don't know whether or not he can control his ki or by whom he was trained), and ]'s descendents {who ultimately know how to control their ki's because Vegeta, who ], who was trained by ])]} came from ''outer space'', the planet Vegeta). | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by ]. | |||
| === Namu === | |||
| (FUNimation dub: '''Nam''') | |||
| Namu first appears in the 21st Tenkaichi Budōkai, fighting Ran Fuan. He has problems fighting her, because he is a ] and she strips to her underwear but he overcomes and defeats her. His next fight is against Son Goku, and while it is an intense fight with him using his Aerial X, he loses in the end. He competed because he needed the money to buy lots of water; where he was from, there was a terrible drought, and he had been sent to find a solution. Being defeated, however, he is unable to get the money to buy water and decides to leave. Muten Roshi reads his mind and gets acquainted with his intentions. He then gives him a capsule so that he can store water in a large container explaining that in the city, water was free, and in return, asks Namu to impersonate Muten Roshi in the crowd, as to protect Roshi's secret identity from his students, who were suspicious of Chun being Muten Roshi. In the 22nd Tenkaichi Budôkai, he also makes an appearance in one of its anime ], claiming to Goku and Roshi that this time he came to enjoy it, but he ends up losing to ] on the preliminary rounds, as he was left unconscious and nearly killed as Tenshinhan wanted to leave a message to Goku and his friends. Later, he is killed by Piccolo Daimaō's minion, Tambourine. He is then revived by Shenlong. He is seen later in the DBZ series contributing to Goku's Spirit Bomb. There are some facts indicating that he might be related to Uub, but there is no confirmation. His name comes from the ]: ''"Namu Amida Butsu"''. | |||
| He is voiced in the original Japanese version by the late ]. | |||
| He appears in the video game Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 as a playable character. | |||
| ===Shen=== | |||
| (FUNimation's dub: '''Hero''') | |||
| Mr. Popo tells Son Goku that if Piccolo dies, then Kami dies as well. Thus, Kami fears that Goku will be hesitant in killing Piccolo, and so possesses a human so that he himself may kill Piccolo. Kami tries to defeat Piccolo using the Mafūba technique, but it back fires and Shen is nearly captured in a bottle. Kami refuses to sacrifice the human, however, and leaves the body before it is sealed in the bottle. The man awakens with no memory of the events that had previously transpired and finds himself receiving crowd compliments and cheers such as "good fight" and "nice try." Believing that he had gone on a severe alcoholic (]) binge, he flees in embarrassment, only to run into his son. The boy, however, is proud of his father, whom he sees as a great warrior. Shen is also the original Cantonese pronunciation of the kanji for "Kami". | |||
