**Goku** ( '**Son Gokū'**), born **Kakarot** (カカロット'**Kakarotto'**, lit. "Cacarrot"), is the main protagonist of the *Dragon Ball* metaseries. Goku is a Saiyan originally sent to Earth as an infant. However, an accident alters his memory, allowing him to grow up to become Earth's greatest defender and the informal leader of the Dragon Team. He constantly strives and trains to be the greatest warrior possible, which has kept the Earth and the universe safe from destruction many times.

## Origin

Son Goku was originally given the name *Kakarot* at birth on Planet Vegeta in Age 737. Kakarot had been inside his incubation chamber for three years since his birth when his father Bardock and his mother Gine decide to release him. Bardock makes the decision to send Kakarot away to Earth in an Attack Ball since he is worried about Frieza's ambitions. Frieza destroys Planet Vegeta a month after Kakarot has been sent away.

Days later after being sent to Earth, Kakarot lands in Mount Paozu. While there, he is found by an elderly man, Gohan. He takes him in and feeds the newly found alien. Kakarot is eating when he is given the name "Son Goku".

At first, Goku was extremely violent and ill-tempered, not obeying Gohan at all, but one day he fell down a deep ravine and hit his head, suffering severe head trauma that sent him into a coma and very nearly killed him and caused him to suffer long-term amnesia. After he woke up, he had lost all of his Saiyan aggression due to not remembering his mission, becoming a kind and mild-mannered young boy.

His Grandpa Gohan taught him martial arts and told him about such things as the city and people, as they lived in a very remote place in Mount Paozu, with no communication with other people.

After one day suddenly losing his Grandpa, Goku then set out to the world. Meeting new challenges, taking on new threats, and meeting friends, allies, and rivals. Becoming stronger and stronger as he journeyed forward.

## Background

Despite Goku going through many adventures and challenges throughout his life, there has been a couple of time where even Shoten Cole has witnessed some of them. Even though Cole himself has a tremendous power level, they never meet each other once. Through some of Cole's adventures, he has learned and picked up a few moves he had learned or even felt from Goku. While Cole didn't always pick up on Goku, in fact he barely ever did, he could at times make out some of the techniques showcased or even replicate them just by feeling out how it worked. This may also be the true reason how Cole even learned about the Kaioken, although he was a mere infant when he was born at this time. It would seem Ki Sensing has specific mechanics to the technique.

Cole has learned the Kaioken, Kamehameha, Instant Transmission, and Destructo Disk at some points watching and feeling some of Goku's battles through out the years.

Cole learned the Kamehameha technique by watching an old clip of a World Martial Arts match between Goku and Junior (Piccolo). It was an intense match, Cole was amazed by their performance, even more so by the techniques and moves they made. When watching he also studied and learned some new moves and how to read their movements. But the big kicker was when Junior was sent into the air. While Junior was charging his Explosive Demon Wave, this was the first time Cole witnessed the Kamehameha, and saw how powerful it was. But as soon as the beam clash ended, so did the clip. Cole didn't have a Beam Attack yet, and he liked that one. So he practiced what he saw, and thanks to his understanding of ki, he picked up on it fairly fast.

Early in Cole's life, he sensed a surge of energy coming from someone he felt familiar with, this was Goku tapping into his Kaioken technique against the Prince of Saiyans, Vegeta. Cole didn't know if it was possible to develop a power up technique, although maybe even Goku learned this move from someone else. Regardless he thought it'd be a nice technique to have. Although once he started to study the feeling of the technique and try to execute it, he quickly learned of the normal Kaioken's drawbacks. This would be the most complex technique he ever copied, it took some trial and error but as some point Cole gained some ground on the Kaioken. Although at times Cole was not suited for such a power up just yet, plus he wanted to study and modify the technique more. So he held off on using Kaioken in any major battles until he could find a decent way to utilize it better. With some more trial and error, practice, and even some help from Sly in Age 778, Cole has finally mastered a different more useful way of using the Kaioken technique, one that is more efficient and balanced.

Years pass and Cole discovers Goku once again, but fighting in another Tournament that was crucial for the planet, the Cell Games. Goku was the 4th one up against Cell which he seemed to want to save Goku for last. But couldn't argue, however at this time....Goku had a new hairstyle, blonde near gold spiky hair. This could've been just a simple change in hairstyle, but this couldn't be right, Cole notices Goku's eyes were a green-ish blue. No this was something else, perhaps something that made him strong enough to take on Cell, maybe a transformation even, Cole liked this as well. However, his eye caught onto more techniques. This being the Destructo Disk and something Goku called Instant Transmission which he used to escape Cell's own Kamehameha blast last second. Thanks to Cole's rare talent as a Half-Saiyan, it took fairly long for Cole to copy the Destructo Disk, however... the Instant Transmission was yet another hard technique to pull off. From what Cole had to work off of, Cole had no idea how he could replicate such a useful technique, until he noticed a moment where Goku re-appeared, with 2 fingers on his head. Then everything started to come together, and thanks again to Cole's understanding of ki, and rare talent, Cole managed to learn Instant Transmission fairly quickly.

However, that was the last time Cole has herd of any of Goku's whereabouts, the only times when he did was when Goku needed help for a technique to finish off a massive threat, or when Goku was powering up and letting all of his energy out, but that was it. From then on he sensed nothing, nothing of Goku's whereabouts, he didn't even know where Goku was, nor did he bother. This is why Goku and Cole have not met, despite their own adventures. As it stands now, who knows what other adventures or journeys Goku is having now....and whatever great challenges her continues to face....
