Story
The adoptive father of Son Gokū who found him in a space ship when he was a baby. Gohan was taught martial arts by Muten-Rōshi and passed on his knowledge to Goku. Gohan warned Goku to never look at a full moon and to stay indoors on nights of one - implying that he had already transformed before and Gohan managed to survive the first time. He followed his advice for sometime until one night (as Gokū himself explained to Bulma, Yamcha, Pu'er and Oolong while they were held in prison at Pilaf's castle) when Gokū stepped outside to relieve himself; he then glanced at it, transformed and killed Gohan by stomping on him. After seeing Vegeta transform into an Ōzaru in the Saiyan Saga, Goku realises the truth of what happened to Gohan (the dub version mistranslates this scene and Goku believes Vegeta killed his Grandfather, but the FUNimation redub corrects this mistake). From that time on, Goku believed that Gohan's soul was in the Si Xing Qiu (Sūshinchū / Four-Star Ball). In Dragon Ball, Gohan comes back from Heaven to fight Gokū as Uranai Baba's last fighter. He is also confirmed to be a character in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2.
Video Game Appearances
Grandpa Gohan will be a playable character in the soon to be released video game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for the PS2 and Wii.
