Three of the Kaioshins were killed, and the Dai Kaioshin was absorbed, becoming a permanent part of the demon (and thus making him fat in appearence). Unlike most absorbtions, the Dai Kaioshin maintained some control over Buu. The West Kaioshin, the one remaining overgod, killed Bibidi, thus freeing Buu from his control. In order to prevent this from occuring again, Buu was sealed in an egg-shaped chamber and sent to the Earth. When Babidi, Bibidi's son, summons Buu, he is once again forced to perform evil acts.

As a Changeling, Furiza has numerous stages of power, each with its own distinct appearance. He has four forms total: His first is weak, but wastes little energy; the second is enormous and twice as powerful; the third looks very much like the queen from "Aliens;" and Furiza's fourth, "true" form is small again, but much sleeker (and of course, more powerful).

A favorite character among fans, Gogita is the fusion of Goku and Vegita without the Potarra earrings. He makes a short appearance in DBZ movie #12, and on several more occasions in DBGT.

Eyes: Black
Hair: Black
Skin: Light Tan
Abilities: Bukujutsu, Kame Hame Ha, Masenko, Oozaru, Renzoku Energy Dan, SSJ, SSJ2, Zanzoken

Son of Goku, he is initially trained by Piccolo after the battle with Radditz. He looks up to Piccolo for being such a great fighter, and trys to immitate him by wearing similar clothes. He has the potential to become the most powerful being in the universe, yet since he cannot always fully utilize his strength, he can be defeated.

The main character of Dragonball, and a substantial role in DBZ, Goku is sent to Earth as an infant so he can prepare it to be sold. He could easily eliminate all life on the planet, but he falls into a ravine and hits his head a a baby. Now with his orders lost, Goku becomes a friendly boy who fights on the side of good. He is not too intelligent, but a natural when it comes to the martial arts and manipulating his Ki.

Goku Jr.

Race: One Sixteenth Saiya-jin, Fifteen Sixteenths Human
Eyes: Black
Hair: Black
Skin: Light Tan
Abilities: Bukujutsu, SSJ, Zanzoken
Series: DBGT

Appearing in the very last episode of DBGT, Goku Jr. is the grandson of Pan. He is seen battling Vegita's great-grandson in a tournament. Even with very little Saiya-jin blood, Goku Jr. can still go SSJ like the best of them.

Goten

Eyes: Black
Hair: Black
Skin: Light Tan
Abilities: Bukujutsu, Fusion, Kame Hame Ha, SSJ, Zanzoken
Series: DBZ, DBGT

Goten is the second son of Goku and Chi-Chi. He and Trunks spend most of their time together, and are very good friends. Goten exhibited high power when he went Super Saiya-jin at the age of seven.

Series: DBZ, DBGT

Gotenks is the creature that results after Trunks and Goten perform the fusion dance. He has a tendency to over-dramaticize the situation a bit (Alright, a lot), and makes up names for all of his attacks. Since Gotenks is young and naive, he believes that he can defeat anyone. Most of his assaults are incredibily stupid and ineffective, but he'll squeeze in a few that do some damage.

Gyuu Maou

Race: Human
Eyes: Black
Hair: Black
Skin: Light Tan
Abilities: None
Series: DB, DBZ, DBGT

Gyuu Mao appears here and there throughout the series. He knows Kame-sennin because he had trained with Gohan (Goku's foster Grandfather) when Kame was still a pupil of his. We usually get to see him verbally abused by his own daughter Chi-Chi.

H

Hildegarn

Race: Unknown
Eyes: (Black)
Hair: None
Skin: Gold, (Black), Red
Abilities: Bukujutsu
Appears in: DBZ Movie #13

Hildegarn is described as a giant eternal demon who has terrorized the universe for centuries. In DBZ Movie #13, the story is told that he devastated the home planet of that movie's heroes, Tapion and Minosha, nearly exterminating their race. Since Tapion's people lacked the power to destory Hildegarn, they used a magical song, played by Tapion on his ocarina, to temporarily control Hildegarn and split him into two etheric halves. When this was done, they sealed Hildegarn's top half into Tapion and his lower half into Tapion's brother Minosha. In Movie 13, the box which contains all of this is opened on Earth, thus releasing Tapion and allowing for Hildegarn's great escape. In the end, Hildegarn is killed when Goku debuts his awesome Ryu Ken (Dragon Fist).

Ii-Shenron

Race: Dragon
Eyes: Red
Hair: None
Skin: White

Ii-Shenron is born from the 1 Star Dragon Ball. Near the end of Dragon Ball GT, he fuses with all seven of the Dragon Balls to become the most powerful of the Evil Shenrons. He gives Goku and Vegita the greatest fight of their lives, and forces them to fuse into SSJ4 Gogita. Ii-Shenron proves his great power quite conclusively by lasting 20 minutes with Gogita, at which time the fusion wears off and it's back to Goku and Vegita. He is the only enemy in the entire Dragon Ball legacy to accomplish that feat (Fat Gogita does not count). However, Ii-Shenron's stubborn refusal to expire comes to an end when he is destroyed by Goku's Chou Genki-dama.

Hair: None
Skin: Light Tan before transformation, Red and Light Purple after
Abilities: Bukujutsu, Cube Fade, Space Manipulation, Zanzoken
Appears in: DBZ Movie #12

The villain of movie #12, Janemba starts as a very playful fat apparition, looking a lot like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. This seemingly harmless form becomes a smaller red-colored demon with a nasty sword. He takes fighting more seriously and loses his jestful nature. Janemba is incredibly powerful, and neither Goku nor Vegita can beat him at full strength.

Jisu

Race: Unknown
Eyes: (Black)
Hair: White
Skin: Orange
Abilities: Bukujutsu, Red Comet Attack, Zanzoken
Appears in: DBZ, DBGT

One of the odder members of the Ginyu force, Jisu has fairly well-rounded abilities. Not extremely fast or powerful, he makes up for it with the careful balance he has between the two. He and Baata normally team up to form their attacks.

K

Kame-sennin

Race: Human
Eyes: (Black)
Hair: White
Skin: Light Tan
Abilities: Kame Hame Ha, Mafuba
Appears in: DB, DBZ, DBGT

A dirty old man who took a potion that granted him eternal life (or so he claims), Kame-sennin is a master at the martial arts. However, Kame normally spends his time trying to get a peek at women (He owns the world's largest pornography collection). The first person to train Goku and Kuririn extensively, Kame is responsible for their great strength at such an early age.

Sent to planet Earth when his homeworld Namek was about to be hit by a comet, Kami-sama created the Dragonballs on the new world. He wanted to be pure good and so he purged his evil and 'impure' side. Unfortunately, his evil thoughts formed into Piccolo-Daimao. They have a spiritual link, so if one of the two dies, both of them die. As the guardian of Earth and creator of the Dragonballs on Earth, Kami plays a key role in the story.

Karin-sama

Race: Animal
Eyes: Unknown
Hair: White
Skin: Pink
Abilities: Grows Senzu Beans
Appears in: DB, DBZ, DBGT

Grower of the rejuvinating Senzu beans and guardian of the holy water, Karin lives in a tower that hangs just below Kami-sama's lookout.
