About Son Goku

Son Goku is the main protagonist of the entire Dragon Ball series. Although he didn’t know about it until he reached adulthood, Goku is actually a Saiyan named Kakarot that was sent to Earth to destroy it. Despite this, however, Goku hurt his head as a child, which caused his natural Saiyan anger and aggression to disappear, which eventually led him to become one of Earth’s greatest protectors. Although he isn’t as nearly as destructive as others, Goku’s Saiyan nature leads him to constantly push his mind and body to its limits, allowing him to achieve unbelievable amounts of strength. His most distinguishing characteristics are his black spiky hair and his orange and blue gi. Generally speaking, Goku has a warm and friendly personality and tries to befriend everyone he comes across. He eventually marries Chi-Chi and they have two sons together, Gohan and Goten.

Akira Toriyama, the original creator of the Dragon Ball manga, notes that he wanted to be creative when it came to the design of Goku’s character, leading him to draw a mostly human character, but with a monkey’s tail (though this tail would later be removed). These unique characteristics led Goku to become one of the most iconic characters in all of manga and anime history around the world. Of course, the adult version of Goku became even more popular, as Dragon Ball Z was what sparked the series’ popularity. As such, an incredible amount of merchandise based on the character was released.
