==Summary==
Yamcha (ヤムチャ) is a supporting protagonist in the Dragon Ball manga, and in the anime Dragon Ball Super.
A former desert bandit, Yamcha was once an enemy of Goku, but quickly reformed and became a lifelong friend and ally. Brave, boastful and dependable, Yamcha is a very talented martial artist and one of the most gifted Humans on Earth, possessing skills and traits that allow him to fight alongside his fellow Z Fighters when major threats loom. However, by the latter half of Dragon Ball Z, he is largely outclassed by both his allies and their enemies, and thus retires from fighting.

*Kamehameha: The signature technique of the Turtle School, which Yamcha learned from Master Roshi. Charged and fired with both hands, it is a simple but powerful technique.

**Blinding Wolf Fang Fist: A one-hit variant of the Wolf Fang Fist.
