Tien Shinan Character Facts

Tien Shinhan is a powerful warrior, a master of martial arts, and one of the most powerful Humans on Earth. Because of his harsh upbringing, Tien is initially cold and heartless, thinking nothing of exploiting innocents and inflicting pain. However, Master Roshi and Goku eventually help him to see the folly of his master's teachings, and he becomes a trusted ally from then on. Throughout much of his adult life, he battles alongside the other Z Fighters when major threats to the Earth surface, often courageously engaging enemies far more powerful than himself.[5] Except during these times of dire need, his reclusive and independent nature strays him away from the other Z Fighters. He spends most of his time alone, training with his life-long best friend, Chiaotzu. In Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT, Tien is usually seen training with Chiaotzu near a waterfall.
