1.      Characteristics

A man who is unrelenting, insurmountable, extremely friendly, with a kind heart, and in charge of the the people on earth, such is Son Goku. He tends to be so kind, yet turns out to be the jape beyond everyone’s anticipation. Due to years stay in remote mountains, he knows nothing, even what is ‘girl’, nor does he see a girl before, all he knows is what his grandfather said’ Treat girl, you should be gentle.’ Goku is somewhat childish, and a little foolish. He didn’t change his character even when he grows up to be a strong person. He seems to be carefree and afraid of no powerful enemy; never will he withdraw instead he will show an matchless excitement, which seem to tell us that’ So Goku, here am I! Just come and fight with me!’ Because of a bump on the head in his childhood, Goku was transformed from an evil child into an obedient one who was easygoing and without any evil thoughts, however, he became jolter-head and somewhat retarded.

Ha ha, quite bittersweet!

2.       Gifts

Although being a inferior warrior he was born of great gifts; he can use Kamehameha at his will even by seeing Master Roshi show him only once, and he creates his own super Kamehameha afterward. Within one year’s time, Goku has learned Kaioken, Genki Dama, got himself used to gravity x100 and can use advanced stunt with Kaioken plus Kamehameha. He got used to gravity x100 when stayed in the capsule on his way to Planet Namek, broke through Kaioken x10 for only two to three months, all of which has shown how striking he was.Goku became the first Super Saiyanman since the beginning of the history, and killed Freeza. By cultivating himself for one day (equal to one year) in spiritual era room in the universe circle, he could already arrive to the level where Vegeta failed to reach for two days (two years on earth), moreover, he could fight against Silu with a complete body, which has for the second time proved Goku’s gifts. Seven years later, Goku has been able to transform into Super Saiyan2, who reaches the level where Vegeta can do by the help of Babidi, and surpasses Super Saiyan2 becomes Super Saiyan3. He becomes Super Saiyan4 by the help of granddaughter Xiaofang and his own willpower who exceeds the tough Super Saiyan3 in the fight against Bill on Planet Zifuer and creates 10-fold Kamehameha. From then on, Goku is insurmountable anywhere in the dragon ball world.

3.      Race:

A fighting race—Saiyan, also an aggressive race, is fond of destruction. Saiyanman’s tail will react the time Saiyan meet the Boorstin Light-wave exceeding 15,700Zeno reflected by the moon when they are one-month-old and transform into huge apes. Goku used to be a huge ape for many times, made destruction and killed grandfather Gohan. Each time Saiyan fight, they will become stronger, with the strength increased by at least one time. The same goes whenever they are cured from the line between death and life. This is the reason why Goku can be such strong. Saiyanman have strong life, and long youth which explain why Goku has changed nothing but seemed to be more mature and strong even to the end.

So Gohan

   Introduction： The eldest son of So Goku and ChiChi, the elder son of Goku. Maybe out of the hybrid, he named from his grand grandfather who had adopted Goku. Thanks to ChiChi’s strict discipline, Gohan grows up to be a scholar. He had shown great gifts and potential when he was young. During the fight against Raditz, Goku was able to hurt him and assist Piccolo and Goku in an astonishing potency. Just as what Piccolo said, his parents had so indulged him in his childhood that they failed to discover his potency. Before taught him something, Piccolo decided to leave him alone in an desert island for 6 months to train his independence. A year later, Guhan became a more independent and strong man. Stronger as he was, he still lack such confidence as what his father had, which showed obviously when his first avoidance of fighting against Saiyan Naparte. He still lack confidence even when he grew up to be the strongest warrior (Super Gohan ) in the fight against Cell. We can see from their fight that Goku had the idea of giving up when finally both of them were using “Kamehameha”. Acually, his father Goku remained confidence in Gohan and stimulated him to exert all his potential till blowing Cell out of water. Because that his mother always expecting him to be a scholar, he was in a dilemma between fighting and reading. Diligent as he was in both of the two, he had to focus on fighting due to the endless attack form the ‘the evils’. Finally, under the help of King Kai, he transcended himself once more! However, he had the opportunity to satisfy his mother’s expectation   and be a scholar after beating Buu.

Charateristics： Kind， brave, not like fighting, but can exerting matchless forces when angry.

   He learned martial arts from Piccolo when young, then went to Planer Namek to beat Fulisha , trained to be a super Saiyan in Spiritual Era Room followed Goku to beat Cell. Seven years later, he was absorbed by Majin Buu in the fight; after being rescued by Goku and Vegeta he died of the destruction of Planet Earth, and resurvived thanks to Dragon Ball. Gohan married Videl and became a scholar when beating Buu.

Kuririn was also a good elder brother of Gohan by giving a hand when Gohan was in danger (It is a pity that thing is totally reversed when Gohan grew up.), he is the best friend yet also the sidekick of Goku, together they went through fire and water under the strict training of Master Roshi and World Tournament. Kuririn often help Goku to fight against enemies. He then married No.18 after Cell Game and had a daughter. It was in the fight against majin Puu that he was turned into chocolate and eaten, finally he survived with the help of Dragon Ball.
