## History

### Early Life

Though he didn't remember for a long time, Goku was born "Kakarot" on Planet Vegeta as a "low class" Saiyan. His father, Bardock, was the strongest and thus most well respected of the low class with his mother, Gine, being near the bottom of the class pool, a fact that was often brought up to mock Bardock. During a gathering of the Saiyan warriors, King Vegeta introduced everyone to their new Lord, Frieza, who Bardock instantly distrusted, though he agreed to work for him regardless, that is until he heard from a teammate of his that Frieza had seemingly become erratic, asking questions about "the Legendary Super Saiyan", a myth that existed among the Planet Vegeta residents about a Saiyan who exploded with such power he could destroy planets within seconds. Fearing for what might happen next, Bardock informed Gine and his older son Raditz that he was going to launch Kakarrot off-world, telling them they should as well to avoid the supposed inevitability of Frieza's wrath. That morning, he put his son in an attack ball, a common vehicle among Frieza's men chosen as to avoid suspicion, and launched him into space. Bardock was proven right as during another Saiyan meeting, Frieza flew into space and summoned a gigantic ball of energy, tossing it at Planet Vegeta and obliterating it. The only survivors were those who were off-world, such as Kakarrot and his brother.

Kakarrot's ship flew through space, the toddler too young to comprehend what was going on, until he crash landed in the middle of of a bamboo forest near Mount Paozu on Dragon World. Gohan, an elderly martial artist who was cutting down the trees, heard Kakarrot's crying and found the toddler who, despite being three, seemed to have not matured mentally, as he was unable to speak and treated everything as though it was new. Though Gohan cared for the child, who he decided to name "Goku", as though he was his own, his rage at his parents's deaths and the Saiyan instinct to be aggressive and fight often got in the way of things. This eventually led to the toddler lashing out at Gohan, who accidentally dropped him off of a cliff. Kakarrot landed on his head, nearly killing him, and was put into a coma for weeks on end. Upon waking up Goku had forgetting everything, essentially forcing Gohan to educate him from scratch, though Goku was much more patient and enjoyable to be around due to his amnesia. Gohan taught the boy how to behave around others, emphasizing to be nice to women in particular, and taught him martial arts so that he could defend himself should the time come.

During one of these training exorcises, Goku stared directly at the full moon, transforming into a gigantic, rampaging, monkey-like creature. He rampaged through the forest all night, but eventually transformed back to normal when the next day came. Terrified of this form's incredible power, Gohan warned Goku to never look at the full moon so long as the two lived but, not wanting to make the boy terrified of himself, simplified his reasoning as being "a monster" came out whenever he did. This backfired horribly, as Goku wanted to battle the monster and prove his strength to Gohan, waiting patiently for the next full moon and staring directly at it when it came. The next morning, Goku awoke to find his adoptive grandfather dead, having been murdered by the boy's ape form. Goku attributed Gohan's death to "the monster", still not realizing he himself was said monster, and raised himself alone for the remaining years, keeping Gohan's paperweight to remember him by.

### Leaving the Mountains

Over the course of the next few years, Goku fished to feed himself and used his bare hands to cut wood for tinder while also talking to Gohan's paperweight as if it were actually him, praying to it. He was eventually brought out of his comfort zone when a car accidentally hit him. Having never seen a car before and thinking it was a monster, he destroyed it, only for the diver to shoot him in self-defense. The bullet bounced off of him and the driver immediately panicked, apologizing and introducing herself as Bulma. Realizing she was a woman and remembering his grandpa's lesson on how to treat them, Goku took Bulma back to his home where she proceeded to try and take his grandfather's paperweight. Goku, initially resistant, began to understand why when she explained that the paperweight was actually a Dragon Ball, a highly powerful item that could summon the dragon god Shenron, who would proceed to grant you any one wish. Resistant but interested, Goku agreed to let her take the Dragon Ball so long as he could go on the journey with her and keep an eye on it. Bulma, thinking Goku's immense strength would come in handy, agreed.

Over the course of this journey, Goku met, fought, and befriended many individuals and learned a lot about the world. Though some parts of his learning process were quite embarrassing for him and others, as he didn't understand the difference between men and women and touched their crotches to determine what gender they were, as well as there being a time when he walked in on Bulma bathing and was confused why she was mad at him for it. The most notable people he met on this journey are the shape shifting pig-man Oolong, the desert bandit and Goku's first rival Yamcha and his partner Puar, and the Turtle Hermit Muten Roshi, the latter gifting him his famous Kintoun. He also met the Ox Princess Chi-Chi, who he accidentally became betrothed to, and performed the Kamehameha for the first time. This journey ended when the self-proclaimed emperor Pilaf stole most of their Dragon Balls and took them to his castle, the Dragon Team breaking in to steal them back but ending up captured. Pilaf was on the verge of getting his wish for world domination when Oolong turned into a fly, escaped, and stole Pilaf's wish on the dragon, wishing for a pair of Bulma's panties instead.

While embarrassing, the day seemed to have been saved until Goku once again accidentally looked at the full moon, transforming into the gorilla monster and destroying Pilaf's castle. Yamcha, who had remembered that Goku's tail was a particularly weak area, decided to test a theory and cut it off, reverting Goku back to normal, though he passed out immediately. Upon waking up, they found out that he didn't remember anything about becoming the monster and the team chose not to tell him and instead head to West City for the time being. Goku was the only one who declined the offer, instead wanting to train under Roshi. Goku traveled out to Roshi's tiny private island and requested him to become his mentor and Roshi said he only would if he brought him "a hottie", which eventually led to Goku finding a woman named Launch who Roshi deemed more than good enough. During this time, Goku also met and developed a rivalry with another would-be pupil named Krillin.

The two were pushed to their absolute limits by Roshi, who informed them that when they were strong enough to move boulders he would enter them into the Tenkaichi Budokai. During this time, Goku and Krillin's heated rivalry morphed into an unexpected friendship and the two eventually did prove themselves to Roshi by moving a boulder not even he thought could be moved. As promised, he entered the boys into the Budokai but, unbeknownst to them, he also entered himself under the alias "Jackie Chun", hoping to defeat the two to install a lesson in them that there would always be someone better than them so that they would never become slackers. Goku reunited with Bulma and the others during this, as they had arrived to watch him and Krillin fight, though they didn't have time to catch up as the Budokai began faster than expected. Goku faced off against two warriors named Giran and Nam during the Budokai, his tail growing back during the former's match, and eventually made it into the finals against "Jackie Chun".

The two's battle was legendary and was a claim to fame for the Budokai for years to come, even when mid-way during the fight Goku once again transformed into an ape and nearly killed everyone in the arena. Jackie Chun blew up the moon to prevent this from happening again (an artificial moon was eventually made to replace it) and, by the end of the fight, both of them were so exhausted that all it took was a kick from the two to send each other to the ground. The Budokai's rules state that when a double KO occurs, the first to stand and proclaim "I'm the winner" would be crowned champion. Though Goku nearly did so, he passed out mid sentence from exhaustion and Jackie Chun was crowned Strongest Under the Heavens. Goku took his loss in stride and proclaimed to both Chun and Roshi (not realizing they were one and the same) that he would always train from now on so that he could be strong enough to defeat anyone.

### War with The Red Ribbon Army

After coming second in the Budokai, Goku decided the next thing he wanted to do was travel the world in search for Gohan's four-star Dragon Ball, leaving on his Kintoun with Bulma's Dragon Radar. While following the trail for the Dragon Ball, he reunited with Nam and Giran, who he convinced to team up to help save Nam's village, as well as having another meeting with Chi-Chi, who attempted to go through with their marriage but was unable to due to Goku both not knowing what marriage was (thinking it was food) and becoming impatient with the time it was taking. His search eventually led him back to the outskirts, where Colonel Silver and members of the Red Ribbon Army were also searching for the Dragon Ball. Goku found it first and the army members tried to assault him for it, even destroying Kintoun in the process, but Goku easily fought them off and stole one of their vehicles to get away with the ball. Unfortunately, he crashed in a snowy environment and nearly froze to death in a blizzard, but was saved by a girl named Suno, who dragged him back to her home.

When Goku woke up, everyone in the home except Suno was suspicious of him, thinking he was a member of the Red Ribbon Army who had been terrorizing them and kidnapped all of the men in their village. To prove to them he wasn't a part of the army, Goku promised to save everyone and burst into the army's Muscle Tower, fighting his way through various agents before meeting and befriending a robot named "Android Number 8" or Eighter. Together, Goku and 8-Man defeated the head of Muscle Tower, General White, and freed the men he had enslaved. However, his Dragon Radar had been broken during his fight and he decided to use Kintoun, revealed to have survived the attack, to fly to West City, hoping Bulma would repair it. Upon arriving, Goku struggled to adjust to the city but was eventually guided to Capsule Corporation by a policeman, revealing Bulma was the daughter of the company's heir. After getting the radar repaired, Goku decided to leave immediately after, but Bulma insisted on coming with him. She immediately regretted this, as it turned out the next Dragon Ball was at the bottom of the ocean. Luckily, Roshi's island was nearby and they borrowed an underwater vehicle he owned to travel there and get it, him sending Krillin along with them.

The search eventually leads to an underwater pirate cave, where they are stalked by General Blue of the Red Ribbon Army. Though Blue puts up the best fight he can, using telekinetic abilities during it, he is eventually defeated by Goku, who takes the Dragon Ball and leaves Blue under the ocean as the cave collapses. They flew back to Roshi's island, where a still alive Blue swam to the surface and paralyzed everyone before stealing the Dragon balls. Bulma informs Goku she doesn't want to travel with him anymore because of the Red Ribbon Army's involvement and he heads out without her, chasing after Blue, which eventually led to both of them crashing above Penguin Village. The radar once again broken, Goku teamed up with a girl he met there named Arale, who took him to meet her creator, the genius Dr. Senbei. Blue once again showed up to battle Goku but was defeated by Arale, who knocked him far away, and Goku was able to get his Dragon Balls back, only to then realize Blue had stolen the now repaired Dragon Radar. Turbo, Senbei's son, very quickly constructed Goku a new one and he headed out.

The next location he visited was Korin Forest, where he fought off yet another member of the Red Ribbon Army and befriended two natives of the forest, Bora and his son Upa. Goku also finally retrieved his grandpa's four-star ball, but his joy was short lived as the Red Ribbon Army had finally realized what a threat Goku actually was and had sent the world's deadliest murderer Taopaipai, "Tao" for short, after him. During the proceeding fight, Tao murdered Bora and knocked Goku unconscious, though he assumed him dead and left with the Dragon Balls. In reality, Goku had kept the four-star ball on him and it had saved his life, shielding him from Tao's killing blow. Angry at his defeat, Goku resolved to climb Korin's Tower, hoping to train with the person at the top, the "God of Martial Arts" Korin. After getting to the top, Korin told Goku about a magic water that would give him immense power, but proceeded to keep it away from him for as long as possible. Over the course of three days, Goku battled Korin and eventually stole the water, drinking it all in one go only to realize it does nothing, at which point Korin informed Goku the water was, indeed, useless, but that he had just trained himself physically and mentally over the course of their three days together without knowing.

Goku returned to the bottom of the tower, where he discovered Tao had returned to retrieve the four-star ball from Goku's corpse, leading to another battle where Goku easily outclasses Tao in all regards. Tao resorts to various dirty tricks to try and defeat Goku but, in the end, Goku tosses one of Tao's grenades back at him, blowing him up. Goku, remembering Tao's murder of Upa's father, feels sorry for the young boy and decides to retrieve the remaining Dragon Balls and bring his father back to life. This eventually leads to Goku tracking down and attacking the Red Ribbon Army's headquarters, which he tears through with incredible ease, wiping out everyone inside. Unbeknownst to Goku, the second in command of the army, Staff Officer Black, had shot his own superior in the head and taken over, leading to a final battle between the two. In spite of Black being more calculating and smarter than Commander Red, Goku's power is too much for him to handle and he is killed when Goku blows up the mech he was piloting. Not long after, Goku meets his friends outside the base, who had arrived to back him up but are shocked and mildly terrified when Goku informs them he had already killed everyone inside.
