Muten-Roushi

Muten-Roushi, also known as God of Martial Arts, Jackie Chun, Kame-Sennin, Master Roushi, Old Heavenly Martial Arts Master, Turtle Hermit and Turtle Immortal, is one of the main characters from the Dragon Ball series.
== Charactah Account ==
Roushi, also known as Turtle Immortal, is an ancient and wise martial arts master and the first Earthling to wield the Kamehameha. Though he seems frail, he is a mighty warrior, Muten-Roushi trained Grandpa Son Gohan, Ox King, Son Goku, Kuririn, and Yamcha.
Roushi's home, Kame House, a shack on a small isolated island, serves as a gathering place for the Z Fighters and friends. He is a stock character, as he is both the archetypal wise old man and dirty old man, the latter being typical of shōnen anime.
Sometimes Roushi gets cranky, which further provides comic relief. He is bald, with a thick goatee and a thick mustache. Muten-Roushi wears beach clothes or a martial arts suit and a turtle shell on his back. He usually wields a walking stick. His companions are usually Oolong, Umigame and Lunch.

== Trivia ==
* His title appears in the original manga as Muten-Roushi in on'yomi, or Wutian Laoshii in pinyin, which means "Old Heavenly Martial Arts Master". His name in English adaptations is a phonetic adaptation of that title: Master Roushi. The Japanese word roshi correlates to the Chinese word for "teacher" and Muten is made up of the characters for military/martial and heaven. It is humorous to note that the English adaptation would translate it to "Master Old Teacher", or simply "Master Master". Most frequently, he is also known as Turtle Hermit (Kamesennin). During the World Martial Arts Tournaments, he adopted the moniker Jackie Chun, an obvious parody of the actor and martial arts master Jackie Chan, in order to remain anonymous so that he could demonstrate to his pupils that the world was a big place where there was always someone stronger.
** Which is why "Master Muten" is used in the Italian dub.
*** The name "Master Muten" (or more translated, "Boski miszcz" (note: that "master" is "mistrz" in polish, "miszcz" may be a mockery of his title) is somehow used in the polish manga of Dragon Ball.
**** However, Muten has the same pinyin rendering as Goten (which is "Wutian").
* Master Roushi's blood type is O.
* Like his rival, Master Shen, Master Roushi is not given a real name in the original Japanese version, as Kamesennin and Muten Roushi are both merely titles meaning "Turtle Hermit" and "Old Heavenly Martial Arts Master", respectively.
** Strangely, in chapter 13, Roushi shows Chi-Chi his driver's license to prove that he is really Muten Roshi. It is possible Chi-Chi learned his real name from her father, and merely does not mention it.
* Master Roushi is based on the God of the Galaxy in Dr. Slump.
* One of King Vegeta's Warriors in Dragon Ball Super: Broly resembles Master Roushi, with the only discernable difference besides lack of sunglasses being that he has a significantly large and deep scar on the top of his head.
* It is probable Roushi designed his Jackie Chun disguise to be a homage to Master Mutaito, as it has the same hairstyle Mutaito had.
* Master Roushi's hobbies are reading, watching TV, internet (adult sites too of course), video games, and afternoon naps.
* Master Roushi's favorite food is home-delivered pizza.
* Master Roushi's favorite vehicle is an air wagon.
* Master Roushi was ranked at first place on Watchmojo's top male perverts.
* Toriyama said Master Roushi will live the longest and also said Roushi is mischievous.
* When there are no battles or on days off, Master Roushi watches videos.
* While Master Roushi's lecherous behavior towards women is infamous, it has been somewhat toned down over the years since the original manga to due to changes in comedic style and broadcast requirements.
* Master Roushi's physicality has widely varied over the course of the entire Dragon Ball franchise. Early in the Dragon Ball manga and anime series, he is shown to be considerably thin and frail-looking, while later appearances show him as being more physically fit. In Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT, he is visibly more toned and muscular, which would be somewhat toned down for his appearances in Dragon Ball Super.
