**Goku**, born **Kakarot**, is a Saiyan male and the son of Bardock and Gine. He was born on Planet Vegeta but was sent of by his parents to Earth to protect him from Frieza's genocide of the Saiyans. While on Earth he was raised by a man called Gohan. While there he met several people who would become lifelong friends.

## Biography

### Planet Vegeta

#### Birth then Send Away

Kakarot was born on Planet Vegeta, one of the last Saiyans. He was only a few months old when he was sent away by his parents to save him form Frieza's genocide of his race. The planet that they sent him to was called Earth. He crashed in a forest and was found by a man called Gohan.

### Life on Earth

#### Grampa Gohan

While living with Gohan, Kakarot behaved like a savage, trying to attack him at every opportunity, his Saiyan nature showing. However while out on a walk, Gohan accidently dropped him down a ravine where he hit his dead badly. Once he awoke, Kakarot was calmer and Gohan raised him to be an Earthling despite his tail. Not knowing the boy's name, Kakarot was renamed to Goku.

#### Tragedy

At some point around here, Goku's true Saiyan nature showed again. Goku looked at a full moon transforming him into a Great Ape. In his rampage he killed Gohan. By morning, Gohan's dying words to him told him to never go out during a full moon.

## Appearance

Goku looks almost exactly like his father, possessing the same spiky black hairstyle, dark-colored eyes, and facial features. However, he has softer eyes, a kind demeanor, and a lighter-pale skin complexion from his mother. Goku's most distinguishing physical characteristic is his hair. He has three bangs hanging to the right of his forehead and two bangs hanging to the left. His hair also stands up in the front with four spikes and three bangs in the back. Goku was born with the signature tail of the Universe 7 Saiyans, which was long and prehensile with brown fur. It was removed and regrown multiple times in his early childhood, but in his late teens, Goku's tail was permanently removed by Kami in order to prevent his Great Ape transformation.

## Personality

Originally as an infant Saiyan, Goku was very timid, constantly crying for attention. Goku was then programmed with intense hostility to carry out his mission of eradicating all sentient life on Earth. When found by Grandpa Gohan, he was unruly, savage, and aggressive, wanting nothing to do with the elder, although this was seemingly only when worked up, as when initially found by Gohan, he quickly took a liking to the old man. However, after the head injury that caused him to lose his instinctual aggression, Goku became well-known for the energetic, kindhearted, pure heart and caring personality traits he inherited from his mother Gine. He was taught to be respectful to others by Grandpa Gohan. He takes most situations in stride, he rarely lets things get him worked up; he quickly got over losing his tail each time. He is however not without fear. Goku is shown to be submissive to overbearing women like Bulma and Chi-Chi, even to the point of Master Roshi jokingly declaring that for all his universal-class might, he is terrified of his wife. He is not beyond feeling sorrow, most noticeably seen from the loss of his grandfather. He is not above feeling shame, as he regrets his lack of maturity as a person despite all the teachers who have helped him and likewise wants to make his loved-ones proud of him. He also shows genuine concern for the well-being of those close to him.

## Power and Abilities

### Power

Goku is known to be the most powerful warrior in the Galaxy being able to best even the likes of Frieza and being one of very few in history to achieve the Super Saiyan transformation.

### Abilities

#### Moves

* **Kamehameha**: Goku's signature move since obtaining it. It unleashes a powerful and long-stretching blue energy blast from his cupped hands. Goku first learns the move as a kid after witnessing Master Roshi using it. It can be charged to compete with practically any enemy attack. Since mastering this technique, Goku has continued to improve on it and develop new variations of it.
* **Kaio-Ken**: Goku learns this technique while training under King Kai after dying against Raditz. While using it and any of its multipliers, Goku's various capacities and techniques are all proportionally increased. However, the strain of using too high a multiplier and/or for too long can be dangerous and greatly damage his body. As such, he ceased using it after his gaining Super Saiyan.
* **Spirit Bomb**: Easily Goku's most powerful techniques and arguably the strongest in the series, it allows Goku to channel *ki* from all sources of life that he can detect and focus it all into a single energy ball. It was taught to him by King Kai during his training for the upcoming battle against Vegeta and Nappa. Over time, Goku continually learned to expand the range of which he could gather energy, thereby increasing both the size and power of the Spirit Bomb. He reserves this technique as a last-ditch effort for only the most powerful of foes.

#### Known Transformations

* **Great Ape**: Like all Saiyans, Goku can transform into a Great Ape when absorbing enough blutz waves, usually from looking at a full moon, while still having his tail, though not of his choosing. As a Great Ape, Goku's dormant Saiyan traits re-emerge and he becomes feral and violent. His power and senses increase 10 fold and are able to generate powerful mouth blasts. Originally, because his tail was removed permanently Kami when restoring the moon, Goku lost access completely to this form. Also, he became able to use any planetary surface to focus the blutz wave to transform.
* **Super Saiyan**: Goku achieves this form in a rage after Frieza killed Krillin. In this form, Goku's muscle and height slight increase and his skin turns lighter. His eyes become noticeably sterner and more defined with green eyes. His hair becomes blond and stands with no loose strands. His power also generates a yellow aura. In the anime, when unleashing the full intensity of his power, Goku's aura also produces some slight electrical sparks. Goku's demeanor is greatly affected by this form, making him more aggressive and irritable.
