The protagonist of the popular series is named as Goku. He is an extra-terrestrial being with some supernatural powers from Planet Vegeta. Goku was introduced as a young boy in dragonball and was sent to planet earth to destroy it but his spaceship struck a huge rock due to which he lost his memory. He was found by an old man named Gohan who was his adoptive grandfather and was actually his first martial arts teacher.


Later, in the series-Dragonball, Goku married his childhood friend, Chichi. He had once promised her to do so, thinking that wedding is a yummy eatable. Chichi, as a young lady, enforced him to marry her and entered the world martial arts tournament to remember him of his promise. Goku was likely to be attracted with her obstinate behaviour and thus, decided to marry her. He was introduced in dragonballz as the father of Gohan and then, during the Great Saiyaman Saga, Goten was introduced as his younger son.


Goku is basically shown fighting against the evil with his older and some new friends who prove themselves to be extremely helpful. Goku is liked by almost all the z warriors as. He never upsets them and always withstands on their hopes and promises. Goku fuses with Vegeta during the Kid Buu saga to defeat the villian so that the earth is potected against him.

GOHAN

Image:gohan.jpg

Gohan is the first son of Son Goku and Chichi. Gohan was named after Goku's adoptive granfather. He is equally strong as his father but was always encouraged by his mother to study and become one of the premiere scholars which is why he couldn't become very powerful

He was introduced in the Vegeta saga by his father to some of his older friends. At that time, Gohan was presented to the spectators as a young boy who was totally unbeknown of his powers. He was trained by PICCOLO who was actually the first person to realize how powerful the little boy was. Gohan as a teenager and a young adult always tried to help his father fight against the evil.

His main contribution was provided to the earthlings during the cell games when there wasn't anyone else as strong as Gohan who could face the powerful monster---Cell and from then Gohan was considered as the strongest being on the planet. Later on, during the kid buu saga Goku was again proclaimed to be the one who could protect the earth from the various dangers. Gohan couldn't fight against most of the warriors due to lack of training.

Gohan came to be known as the GREAT SAIYAMAN as a superhero whose wardrobe was created by Bulma though the name was given by Gohan himself. Gohan dressed him up as the superhero 'cause he desired to claim himself similar to his companions in the Orange Star High school.

Gohan later married Videl and even had a daughter named Pan. Videl was one of his classmates at the Orange Star Highschool.

Attacks-: Masenko, Kamehame wave.


GOTEN

Image:coolgoten.jpgImage:gotenpic.jpg

Goten is the second son of Goku and Chichi. He was introduced during the Great Saiyaman Saga, in the 200th episode of Dragonballz. He was premiered as a seven year old young boy who greatly resembled his father, Goku. Goten had never seen Goku as he died before his birth while fighting the monster from future---Cell.


He was never forced by his mother, Chichi to study but was encouraged to do well as a martial artist. In episode 205, Goten was introduced as the youngest supersaiyan. He revealed that he had transformed into the being in his sixth year but was not permitted by his mother to do so and was actually called a "monster" due to which he didn't dare to do so again especially infront of her. Goten is one of the greatest saiyans ever and and can quikly develop strong power levels. He has a great grasping power which helps learn things immediately.


He is mostly shown with his best friend Trunks who is approximately one year older than him. Goten like his, father and brother is very fond of nature and animals. The young boy is totally pure of heart and is actually the most adorable kid ever. He has proven himself to be a true friend of all and can jump in all sorts of dangers to help them.


In order to save the Planet Earth from Majin Buu, Goten fuses with trunks in the Fusion Saga and forms the mighty being---Gotenks. Goten and Trunks were taught the art of fusion by PICCOLO and Goku.

Attacks-:Kamekameha, Totsugekki.


VEGETA

Vegeta is introduced in the Vegeta saga when he was amongst those aliens who attempted to destroy the earth but unfortunately due to Goku, they were unable to do so. Vegeta was introduced as the Dark Saiyan Prince who arrived on the planet with his companion --- Nappa. They were defeated in a fierce battle with Goku and his friends--KRILLIN, Yajirobe, PICCOLO, Yamcha, Chiatzou, Tien, and Gohan. Vegeta later, in the Namek saga befriended the other heroes in order to defeat Frieza and save their lives.


Vegeta also married Bulma, the heiress of the mighty Capsule Corporation and had a son named Trunks and a daughter named Bulla. Vegeta has always owned an arrogant, aggressive and selfish atittude towards most of the beings. Trunks was amongst those people who really tried to understand Vegeta but all in vain 'cause like all the others, he too couldn't make it possible though Bulla could even boss round him and dominate him.


Vegeta is always shown to be extremely jealous of the protagonist --- Goku. He has always desired to be far better than him but unfortunately he is never able to even make it upto him by himself. Vegeta has been shown envious with Goku as he was defeated and even forgiven by Goku for trying to overpower the Planet Earth due to which he lost all his self respect. Vegeta had always wished to avenge Freiza for destroying his home planet but Goku came up as the first being to defeat Frieza, and can we forget about Gohan, the older son of the protagonist transforming into supersaiyan 2 and demolishing each and every cell of Mr.Cell so all these incidents have always disturbed the Dark Prince.

Attacks-: Galick gun, Big bang attack, Final flash.

TRUNKS

Image:trunks.jpgImage:futuretrunks.jpg

Trunks is the older son of Vegeta and Bulma. He is referred to as Future Trunks and Present Trunks due to his influence on the present dragonball world. Trunks was first introduced as a mysterious supersaiyan in the begining of Trunks saga in episode no. 118- The Mysterious Youth. At that time, Trunks came to the present timeline to leave an influence on the unpleasent past. He had created a time machine along with his mother, Bulma. Trunks came to the timeline, thinking that Goku and his friends might want his help to defeat the ultimate villain, Frieza. He was obviously not needed in the fight but was destined to help Goku and impress him. Trunks provided Goku with a medicine that would help him cure his heart virus the mighty warrior would suffer with in future. He told him about the Androids created by Dr. Gero and the daice atmostphere they had left the earthlings in at.


Future Trunks had supported the warriors in their fight against the Androids 17 and 18 and then against Mr.Cell. Throughout his way in at the present timeline, Future Trunks tried to understand his father, Vegeta and create a strong bonding cord of affection towards him. Vegeta was a bit jealous of his son when he saw fight against Frieza but then impressed with his atittude though he was a bit sarcastic towards him. Future Trunks's influence on the present timeline and on his father's brain had definitely created a world of peace.


The Present Trunks was introduced in episode no. 200, "I Am Saiya-man". Present Trunks was premiered as an eight year old young boy who was providided with the toughest training in order to beat up the present protagonist, Gohan. His atittude was a bit different to Future Trunks, a bit influenced by his father instead of his mother. Later, it was revealed that, like his best friend, Goten, he too could transform into supersaiyan. Present Trunks is mosstly accompanied by his best friend, Goten. Goten is a bit more innocent than him but is mostly indulged in all his pranks and plans. They both are enforced by Piccolo and Goku to fuse through the fusion dance to merge and form---Gotenks.


Present Trunks and Future Trunks differ in various parts and the most explicable reason applied is Vegeta's influence on Present Trunks's atittude. Future Trunks was presented as an innocent, humble, polite and a bit mature teenager who had a readiness to fight against evil to provide vicory to the fair though Present Trunks is neither humble nor polite and innocent and has a readiness to face troubles which are most probably 'caused by himself and thus can be denoted as a troublesome, notorious little boy. Future Trunks's atittude was greatly influenced by his mother, Bulma and master, Gohan though Present Trunks's atittude was totally influenced by his father, Vegeta.

Attacks-:Big bang attack, Galick gun.--golden girl 05:44, 29 May 2009 (EDT)
