Goten

is the youngest son of Goku and his wife Chi-Chi, making him a Saiyan and Earthling hybrid. Goten is Gohan's younger brother and Trunks' best friend.
==Appearance==
Goten's appearance as a child is a spitting image of his father's childhood look, including messy, unkempt hair, same eye color, lighter-pale complexion and a playful face. He also wears an orange gi similar to Goku's, minus the kame symbol, along with a dark blue long-sleeved undershirt and black training shoes with dark blue shin guards in the Majin Buu Arc. Goten is known for looking almost identical to his father as a child, to the point when Goku first meets Goten he proclaims, "I think there is a little me hiding behind your leg Chi-Chi!" This resemblance to his father is pointed out numerous times by other characters throughout the series, as well as in a few video games. His appearance drastically changes as he grows older, towards the end of Dragon Ball Z. Goten's hair grew, so that he would not be mistaken for Goku and is seen with a shaggier hairstyle similar to Yamcha's and his paternal grandmother. He also wears an orange gi similar to what Pan wears at the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament.
In Dragon Ball Super, Goten wears his gi without the blue undershirt as he did in the Majin Buu Saga. He also wears blue armbands which he previously didn't, and his hairstyle still resembles that of his father's. When not fighting, he wears a blue sleeveless changshan with a green trim and a lavender long sleeve shirt underneath with white folded sleeves and a long red sash tied around his waist which it was concealed beneath his changshan, lavender Chinese pants with white folded sleeves and black Kung-Fu shoes.
In Super Hero, as it takes place a year before the end of Dragon Ball Z, Goten is older. He is taller and wears a long green, buttoned shirt and has hair similar to his older brother, Gohan's, in the Cell Saga. He also wears a purple undershirt, alongside black pants and black shoes. Goten changed his hairstyle as a result of being mistaken for Goku.
In Dragon Ball GT, Goten's hairstyle becomes spiky, straight and tilted. He begins to look like his brother, Gohan as in contrast to Goku. In the Black Star Dragon Ball Saga, Goten wears a green long-sleeved shirt with a yellow t-shirt underneath and wears purple chino pants, and light beige golden boots just like the ones Trunks wore. Later, in the Baby Saga, his long-sleeved shirt is white with a purple t-shirt underneath and his chino pants are lavender.
==Personality==
As a child, Goten is a fun-loving and kind-hearted person like his father. But thanks to his mother's structured upbringing, he tends to show more common sense and proper manners than his father did as a child even in some cases as an adult. While still being forced to study hard like his older brother by their mother, having mellowed out following Goku's death, Chi-Chi allowed Goten to have more freedom to explore his own interests than Gohan did growing up Chi-Chi even took it upon herself to train Goten in the martial arts. This allowed him to develop love for play-fighting and bug catching.
Goten is also somewhat mischievous, due to being influenced by his best friend Trunks and joins him in their many antics. Between Trunks and himself, he is surprisingly the voice of reason, though he usually goes along with the former's ideas. Goten is also well mannered, like his father, as he always bows before he faces someone in a fight. He also has good table manners when it comes to eating. He looks up to and greatly admires his older brother Gohan. He was the only person who finds Gohan's embarrassing Great Saiyaman Suit to be "cool". When Trunks had blamed the tournament intermission on Gohan's defeat in the previous match, Goten quickly became agitated and aggressive towards the other in an attempt to defend his older brother's honor. In Dragon Ball Super, his opinion of Great Saiyaman briefly changes, as he rejects a "lame" Great Saiyaman costume that Gohan had made for Goten, but during his teenage years, he dons the costume of Saiyaman X-2 himself, enjoying the heroic exploits.
Goten also shows great love for wild animals, a trait obviously passed down from his father, Goku, as he is seen often getting distracted from training by them on more than one occasion. During Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly, Goten is able to pacify Hei at Mei Queen Castle due to his experience. Goten also shares the typical Saiyan appetite, like his father and brother. In one episode, following Trunks and Goten awakening at the Lookout after being knocked out by Vegeta, Trunks successfully wakes up Goten by telling him it was time to eat, which made Goten excited this is similar to what Bulma used to wake Goku up when he was facing Jackie Chun. Goten's favorite food is pocky sticks and strawberry daifuku. On a similar note, similar to his father, he hates eating vegetables, particularly root-based vegetables such as carrots, as he admitted when otherwise being confused by Broly's rage-filled chant of "Kakarot". Despite this, however, he was willing to eat them in desperation if left hungry for long enough, as he admitted while waiting out a monster with Videl and Trunks.
As a teenager and adult, Goten is still kind-hearted and considerate of other people but is seen to be more mature. In Dragon Ball GT, he settles down to live more or less as a normal teenager, worrying more about girls and bikes than fighting.
