Son Goku (commonly called Goku) is Dragon Ball's main hero/protagonist. Born on the distant planet Vegeta, he was sent to Earth in a capsule to conquer it. Goku was found and raised by Son Gohan. He hit his head when he was a little boy, so he became a good-hearted person.

He is a talented martial artist with a strong sense for justice and is committed to fighting criminals and all kind of evil. Even though he can be a fierce and fearsome opponent in battle, his good-willed and open nature brought him many friends and lets him turn enemies into allies.

Goku is very strong, endurant and has a natural sense for combat, hence he can adapt to his opponents' fighting styles. Though other fighters are more talented than him, Goku is a hard and determined worker who never gives up. On the other hand, he is very naive and not the smartest person. Thus, he is often tricked by other people.

Son Goku is based on the Monkey King from the legend of Saiyuki (Journey to the West).

## Dragon Ball

As a little boy, Goku meets Bulma, a girl who is in search of the Dragon Balls. The legend says that your wishes will come true if you can collect all seven of them. During their adventurous search, they meet several people like Yamcha and Pool, Oolong and Master Roshi. The latter one trains Goku to become stronger.

Together with Krillin, a monk who also trains under Master Roshi, Goku participates in the 21st Martial Arts Tournament.

### 21st Martial Arts Tournament

After easy wins in the preliminaries, Goku is able to beat Giran in his quarterfinal match and eventually advances to the finals by beating Nam.

In the final match, he is up against Master Roshi, who disguises himself and fights as Jackie Chun. Both opponents are about equally strong and deal each other strong blows. Goku receives a few hard hits to his stomach in the process.

During the match, Goku looks at the full moon and transforms into a Giant Ape. After Roshi destroyed the moon, Goku reverts back to normal and a thrilling fight ends after Goku and Roshi punch each other in the face simultaneously, going down for the count, with Roshi standing up first, being declared the winner of the tournament.
