==Biography==
===Background===
Under the orders of the Frieza Force, Taro was among the Saiyans that took part in the invasion of Planet Cereal when they were dispatched to the planet to decimate its population and lay waste to it, along with other alien members of the Frieza Force. During the invasion, Taro and the other Saiyans, thanks to the help of a full moon being present on the planet at the time of the invasion, were able to transform into Great Apes and use their forms to demolish cities and kill many of the planet's inhabitants, dwindling the number of Cerealian and Namekian inhabitants on the planet significantly, to the near point of extinction. However, A Cerealian named Flayk managed to use a Finger Beam energy to blast to destroy the full moon, causing Taro and the other Saiyans to revert back to their base forms. However, Taro confronts Flayk and tells the Cerealian not to get his hopes up as, even in their base forms, they're still powerful enough to defeat the Cerealians. Taro then easily kills the Cerealian with one hit, throwing his body off the ceiling of a Cerealian building where he defeated him. After the invasion, Taro then leaves the planet after their order to withdraw from Planet Cereal.
===Dragon Ball Minus and Dragon Ball Super Broly===
After Bardock and Leek return from a mission due to Frieza's order and heads to his village, Taro is seen calling out to Bardock that Frieza has spotted a planet which requires all the Saiyans to conquer, leaving Leek not to be suspicious of Frieza anymore. But then, Taro mentions that Frieza has been asking about the legendary Super Saiyan, which increases Bardock's suspicion even more. Taro then dies with the rest of the Saiyans when Frieza destroys Planet Vegeta.
==Power==
As a member of Team Bardock, Taro is a low class Saiyan like his comrades. He was able to kill Flayk in one hit.
==Forms and Transformations==
===Great Ape===
A giant, anthropomorphic, monkey-like creature that Saiyans can transform into at the full moon or when exposed to any source of Blutz Waves to increase their already formidable strength tremendously.
