( 1985 ) Created by Akira Toriyama Voiced by Japanese Mayumi Tanaka English See Voice Actors Profile Relatives Android 18 ( spouse ) Marron ( daughter ) Krillin ( Japanese : クリリン, Hepburn : Kuririn ), known as Kuririn in Funimation 's English subtitles and Viz Media 's release of the manga, is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. He is introduced in chapter # 25 A Rival ? Arrival ! ! ( ライバル ? 参上 ! !, Raibaru ? Sanjō ! ! ), first published in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on June 3, 1985, as Goku 's fellow martial arts student under Kame - Sen'nin. As the series progresses, Krillin becomes Goku 's closest ally and best friend and is often depicted as the comic relief. Contents 1 Design and appearance 2 Appearances 2.1 In Dragon Ball 2.2 In Toriyama 's films and Dragon Ball Super 3 Voice actors 4 Abilities 5 Appearances in other media 6 Reception 7 References Design and appearance Toriyama originally created Krillin along with the Tenka'ichi Budōkai as a method to help add depth to the story, as his editor Kazuhiko Torishima had stated that the series ' protagonist, Goku, was too plain. Torishima explained that in order to develop Goku 's characterization, they needed someone petty and mischievous to provide contrast. Leading to the introduction of Krillin. Yūsuke Watanabe, who wrote the screenplay for the film Dragon Ball Z : Battle of Gods, had originally written the film to take place at Krillin and Android # 18 's wedding, but Toriyama wrote it to take place at Bulma 's birthday party. Watanabe thought Toriyama made the change because he wanted fans to imagine the wedding for themselves. Toriyama cited Krillin and Bulma 's older ages at the end of the manga as a reason he chose for Battle of Gods to take place after the Boo arc since they were in their `` strongest condition at that time. '' Krillin 's appearance stays relatively the same for the majority of the series. He is first introduced at age 13, with a shaved head and still dressed in the yellow - and - orange clothing worn at the monastery at which he had been training. He does not possess a visible nose, and has six spots of moxibustion burns on his forehead, a reference to the practice of Shaolin monks. Toriyama once stated, seemingly humorously, that Krillin 's lack of a nose is because he has a `` physical idiosyncrasy '' that allows him to breathe through the pores of his skin. Later, he wears the orange gi uniform that is presented to both himself and Goku by Kame - Sen'nin in honor of their first martial arts competition. Occasionally he is seen in casual clothes, but for the most part continues to dress for training or fighting at all times. During the Freeza arc, he wears Saiyan armor provided by Vegeta, but during the Cell arc he returns to wearing the orange gi, accompanied by a blue short - sleeved undershirt and boots. After the defeat of Cell, Krillin stops shaving his head, and grows his black hair out, before later shaving it again during Frieza 's resurrection. When he settles down with his family, Krillin is shown wearing a workout outfit consisting of a red T - shirt and brown drawstring pants. Appearances In Dragon Ball Krillin first appears arriving at Kame - Sen'nin's island to become his apprentice, meeting Son Goku, and the two become rivals. However, after doing the hardships that Kame - Sen'nin assigns, the two become friends. After finishing their training, Kame - Sen'nin has Krillin and Goku compete in the 21st Tenka'ichi Budōkai. Krillin beats the odored fighter Bacterian, who uses his stench as a weapon, and makes it to the semi-finals. However, he is defeated by Jackie Chun, who is really Kame - Sen'nin in disguise preventing his students from becoming arrogant with too many victories. Krillin continues to train with Kame - Sen'nin and helps Goku to collect the Dragon Balls by fighting against General Blue and participating in Baba Uranai 's tournament. However, he is quickly defeated by Dracula Man, who bites down on his head, causing blood to pour out. Three years later, Krillin enters the 22nd Tenka'ichi Budōkai. Again, he makes it to the semi-finals by defeating Chaozu, but loses to Goku. Soon after, Krillin is killed by a henchman of Piccolo Daimao, who wanted to steal Goku 's Dragon Ball. After Goku defeats Piccolo, Krillin is revived by the Dragon Balls. Another 3 years later, Krillin enters the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budōkai. This time however, he only makes it to the quarter - finals, losing to Piccolo Junior. Krillin then tries to intervene in the fight between Piccolo and Goku when Piccolo gains the upper hand, until realizing he is outclassed. Several years later, in the span of a day, Krillin is attacked by Raditz while attending a reunion, and is unable to save Gohan from Piccolo, who takes him for training. A year afterward, Krillin confronts the Saiyan invaders Vegeta and Nappa along with his friends, following months of training in preparation for their arrival. After Yamcha 's death, he avenges his friend by killing most of the Saibermen. In the battle against Nappa, Krillin tries to get involved in his fight with Tenshinhan after Nappa severs the latter 's arm, though is stopped by Nappa. Krillin double teams Nappa with Piccolo, creating multiple copies of themselves with the Tri-Form and failing thanks to the clones cutting their power. Krillin later goes toe - to - toe with Nappa alone, launching a Kienzan at him that Nappa almost catches before Vegeta warns him, and is saved from an attack from Nappa by Piccolo. After Nappa is defeated, and Goku arrives, Krillin requests that he fight Vegeta elsewhere to prevent their friends ' corpses from being destroyed. He and Gohan leave the battlefield but return after Gohan worries for Goku, who is being crushed by Vegeta in his Oozaru form. Krillin unsuccessfully attempts cutting Vegeta 's tail in a sneak attack, and later is given the Genki Dama to launch at Vegeta by Goku, which misses initially but is bounded back by Gohan. After Vegeta yields from further conflict given his extensive injuries, Krillin takes Yajirobe 's sword and moves in to kill him, but agrees to spare his life per Goku 's request. He then travels with Gohan and Bulma to planet Namek to use the Namekian Dragon Balls to revive their dead friends, since the Earth 's Dragon Balls vanished due to Piccolo 's death. Once there, they save a young Namekian called Dende from death at the hands of Freeza 's henchmen. Krillin receives an increase in power from Guru, the grand elder of the Namekians, when he unlocks his hidden potential. After a few close encounters with Vegeta, Krillin and Gohan are forced to team up with him in order to fight Freeza 's strongest warriors, the Ginyu Force. They are overpowered by them until Goku arrives and defeats the Force. After Krillin and Gohan collect the seven Dragon Balls and wish back Piccolo, they begin a battle against Freeza, during which Krillin is stabbed in the chest, removes Freeza 's tail following being healed by Dende, thereby distracting Freeza from continuing to crush Gohan to death, and injures Vegeta in an attempt to capitalize on his Saiyan ability to grow stronger when in a near - death state at Vegeta 's request. After a long fight between Goku and Freeza, Goku decides to use the Genki - dama, Krillin giving his energy to Piccolo so he can stall Freeza and attacking Freeza himself with his last bit of strength. When the group recovers from the Genki - dama, and Freeza emerges unscathed, the latter detonates Krillin from the inside, killing him instantly, which triggers Goku 's first ever transformation into a Super Saiyan. After Freeza 's defeat, Krillin is revived by the Namekian Dragon Balls. Krillin trains for three years to confront Dr. Gero who tries to use his androids to kill Goku. Krillin is momentarily forced to leave his friends with the androids to take Yamcha away from the battlefield in the aftermath of his deadly encounter with Gero, who Krillin finds the base of and signals the others to his location after having a fight with Gero. When the Androids, # 16, # 17 and # 18 are released, Krillin is the only hero present that does not engage # 17 and # 18 due to his fear. After the duo defeat his friends, Krillin unsuccessfully pleads for the androids to spare Goku 's life, and becomes infatuated with the female # 18 after she kisses him on the cheek, and he then heals his defeated friends. After Krillin encounters the artificial life form Cell, Krillin and Trunks travel to Dr. Gero 's laboratory basement, where Krillin kills the present timeline version of Cell and the two discover the weakness to the androids is a deactivating controller, which Bulma constructs and gives to Krillin. Krillin soon after encounters # 18 with the module and after a period of deliberation, destroys it. Because of this, regardless of his efforts, Cell absorbs her and achieves his perfect form. Enraged over her loss, Krillin engages Cell in combat, the latter standing in place while Krillin 's attacks have no effect and striking Krillin only once, placing Krillin in a near - death state. After Krillin is revived by Trunks, he warns Trunks of Cell 's strength, having been able to sense his true power right before being attacked. He moves Vegeta away from the impending fight between Trunks and Cell, healing Vegeta during the battle between the two. He later participates in the Cell Games, a martial arts tournament created by Cell for entertainment, and fights one of the Cell Juniors who attack him and his friends, but is saved by Gohan. After Gohan punches Cell in the stomach, he regurgitates Android # 18 and Krillin cares for her comatose body while Gohan destroys Cell. After Cell 's death, Krillin then travels to the lookout, where he uses the second wish from the Dragon Balls to remove the bombs from # 17 and # 18. Seven years later, Krillin has quit fighting, settled down with # 18, with whom he has a daughter named Marron ( マーロン, Māron ). This left Goku confused, until Krillin explained that Android 18 is a cyborg ( meaning she is human still ), and she was able to have a baby with him. However, after learning of Goku 's return from the afterlife to compete in the 25th Tenka'ichi Budōkai, he decides to also participate, also being encouraged to do so for the money by # 18. During Goten and Trunks ' match, Krillin worries that Trunks ' energy attack will hit the crowd. Krillin wins his sole match, against Pintar, during the competition with ease. After the Kaiō - shin enlists several of Krillin 's friends to help him defeat the wizard Bobbidi, Krillin joins them, in doing so forfeiting his entry in the tournament, but is stopped from assisting any further thanks to Dabura turning him into stone with his spit. Upon Dabura 's death however, Krillin is freed and he saves Goten and Trunks from the impact of Vegeta 's self - explosion. Krillin later evacuates Earth after Majin Boo 's awakening. When Boo has transformed, he finds Krillin 's groups and kills them. During Goku and Vegeta 's fight against Boo, Krillin is brought back to life by the Namekian Dragon Balls and gives his energy to Goku 's Genki - Dama attack, which is used to destroy Boo.

Krillin tries stopping a pair of wrongdoers when he is knocked out by an arriving Gohan in his Saiyaman guise. Krillin agrees to train with Goku after some reluctance and the two travel to get Paradise Grass from an island, encountering large, physical versions of past enemies that Krillin becomes fearful of. The two are revealed to be in the `` Forest of Fear '', Krillin saving Goku from a phantom of Super Shenron that the two destroy together.

Voice Actors Sonny Strait is Krillin 's most well known and most consistent English voice actor for his teen and adult incarnations. Krillin is voiced by Mayumi Tanaka in the original Japanese anime and in all related media. Toriyama chose Tanaka after hearing her portrayal of the protagonist Giovanni in the film Night on the Galactic Railroad. When Krillin and Yajirobe, another character voiced by Tanaka, appeared in the same frame she gave the latter a Nagoya dialect in order to distinguish them. When Dragon Ball received a short - lived English dub by Saban Entertainment, Funimation, and Ocean Productions in the mid 1990s, Krillin would be voiced by Terry Klassen. He would reprise his role in the Ocean dub of the latter half of the series produced by AB Groupe for European and Canadian markets. Another short - lived English dub produced by Harmony Gold in the late - 1980s featured Wanda Nowicki as the voice of Krillin ( here named Bongo ). In the Blue Water 2003 re-dub of Dragon Ball, he is voiced by Mike Thiessen. Dan Gascon voiced him in the Blue Water dub of Dragon Ball GT. When the series ' full production was taken over by Funimation in the US, Krillin would be voiced by Laurie Steele as a child in Dragon Ball and Sonny Strait as an adult in all media released to the US. Strait gained the role following auditioning in Texas and moved to Los Angeles to keep it. He found the character 's constant deaths amusing and thought him comical : `` Krillin is the party. If you do n't wish back the party, you 're going to be bored. '' In the rare English dub distributed exclusively in Europe by AB Groupe he was voiced by Sharon Mann ( here named Clearin ). Apollo Abraham voiced Krillin ( here named Kurin ) in an English dub distributed in the Philippines by Creative Products Corporation. Krillin is voiced by Brian Beacock in the Toonami Asia broadcast of Dragon Ball Super. Abilities Krillin has many abilities including, super-strength, super-speed, and the ability to fly using his ki energy, known as Bukū - jutsu ( 舞 空 術, lit. `` Air Dance Technique '' ). His main techniques include the Kamehameha ( かめ はめ 波, lit. `` Turtle Destruction Wave '' ), an attack he learned from Master Roshi, which enables him to emit a powerful ki energy blast from his hands. Kakusandan ( 拡散 弾, lit. `` Scattershots '' ), another chi attack, involves firing two blasts, one from each hand, and merging them before directing the blast above an opponent where it will break up and rain down on them, he was only seen using this twice -- the first time was very successful as he managed to wipe out three Saibamen with it. From Tenshinhan, he obtained the Taiyōken ( 太陽 拳, lit. `` Solar Fist '', renamed `` Solar Flare '' in the English anime dub ), an attack Krillin is capable of using to blind his opponents, sometimes used to make a quick escape. One of his signature techniques is the Kienzan ( 気 円 斬, lit. `` Energy Disc Razor '', renamed `` Destructo Disc '' in the English anime dub ), where he puts a hand in the air to create an electric floating disc, using it to slice through his enemies. Lacking the other protagonists ' advantage of getting stronger every time he is injured, Krillin is however the strongest Earthling and was recognized as having great technique by Vegeta.
