==List of characters killed by Tien Shinhan==
;Films
*Frieza Soldiers - During the fight against Frieza's army, dozens of soldiers were killed by his Tri-Beam.
==Trivia==
*Tien Shinhan's Japanese name pun is tenshindon (天津丼), a quasi-Chinese dish actually invented in Japan and consisting of a crabmeat omelet over rice. It gets its name from the fact that it was originally made using high-quality rice. The character’s name is written in hanzi/kanji 天津飯 via the on'yomi rendering, making it read as Tenshinhan (Teh-n-shee-n-hah-n).
**However, the "tien" part in the English dub is mainly modelled after the Mandarin/pinyin pronunciation of the kanji/Chinese character for "sky/heaven" ("Tee-ean" as opposed to "Tee-ah-n"). The proper pinyin formatting for his name due to having Chinese characters as its base is Tiānjīnfàn and is pronounced either as "Tee-ah-n-jee-n-fah-n" or "Tee-ean-jee-n-fah-n".
*Tien supposedly has had hair, as Master Shen states that he shaves his head.
*At the end of the episode "Full-Moon Vengeance", due to an animation error Tien is briefly seen without his third eye when Chiaotzu leaves to enter the ring.
*The scar on Tien's chest is from his fight with Mercenary Tao in the 23rd World Tournament. Oddly, it never healed, even with the aid of any Senzu Bean he ate after the tournament.
*A minor three-eyed background character is referred to as Tien's Mom in the Funimation dub credits for "Day 1".
*Tien was originally intended to appear in Dragon Ball: The Return of Son Goku and Friends! but was not included out of respect for Hirotaka Suzuoki's death. However, he is included in the manga adaptation and is briefly mentioned in the special when Gotenks utilizes his Volleyball Attack in battle against Aka.
*In Dragon Ball Forever's poll of the top 20 best characters, he was voted number 16 by Japanese fans. This is above Bulma, Android 17, Yajirobe and Videl.
*Tien Shinhan's hobby is playing volleyball with Chiaotzu.Dragon Ball: Super Exciting Guide, 2009
*Tien Shinhan favorite foods are jiaozi and shumai.
*Tien Shinhan's favorite vehicle is a llama and ostrich.
*In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, while you are doing a training session with Tien, Yamcha will state that "Tien is doing this to just impress Launch".
*In the original 1997 Funimation episode of "Nappa... the Invincible?", when Tien's arms got chopped off by Nappa, Tien infamously claims that he could grow his arm back, very likely said to tone down the severity of such injury since Piccolo has regenerated his arm earlier despite the fact that Tien is a human and likely wouldn't have such ability.
*Tien Shinhan is the only Earthling character in the series to fight against Beerus the Destroyer.
**In Xenoverse 2, if the Future Warrior talks to Whis while having Tien as their instructor, Whis will say that Tien is very brave to fight against Beerus and hopes that they will be as brave as him.
*Tien shares parallels to another mythological figure from Chinese mythology that has appeared in Journey to the West: Yang Jian, also known as Erlang Shen, the three-eyed demigod who is able to see through lies and deception with his third eye and has a dog companion by the name of "Howling Heaven Hound/Dog". Like how Tien fought against Goku, Erlang Shen was also known for fiercely combating the original Son Goku/Sun Wukong in order to subdue him during his prequel tale before the journey west, which was overall both Tien and the Three-Eyed People's likely inspiration.
**A coincidental tie-in to Journey to the West/Chinese mythology in general is also the usage of his Four Witches Technique; Nezha was another known figure who could also both sprout extra arms and/or heads that also was one of the original Sun Wukong/Son Goku's prior adversaries.
*There's a rap song named after him and Yamcha by rapper Sada Baby.
*In Budokai's Legend of Mister Satan mode, before fighting Tien as Mister Satan notices that Tien has 3 eyes, he wonders what Tien's glasses would look like.
