character guide - Dragonball - http://maxpages.com/dbgtstuff/the_complete_character

Chindai Ken*- Chindai is the owner of a martial arts school in a rural village. He is a master of the Seikyokuryuken fighting style, but unforunately, he suffers from a debilitating disease that tires him quickly.

Tsuno- The elder of the village of Nameckians that Vegita kills off. There were nineteen Nameckians living in his village before Vegita killed them all.

Tsufuru-jin*- The Tsufuru-jin were the people who inhabited Planet Plant before the Saiya-jin took over and re-named it Planet Vegita. Their name (Tsufuru) is a play on the Japanese word for fruit, and the name Saiya is a play on the Japanese word for vegetable. So basically, it was the fruits VS the vegetables. (Puns run amok in DBZ). The Tsufuru-jin were wiped out by the Saiya-jin when a full moon occurred, causing the Saiya-jin to become Ohsaru and overcome the Tsufuru-jin. Now of course, if you want to go by GT or the two OVA's then you could of course say, "Dr. Raichi and Dr. Myuu were still around!". Well, yeah, but the Tsufuru-jin were actually only in the anime anyway so :P

Tsuru Sennin "Crane Elder"- Tsuru Sennin trained alongside Kame Sennin under Mutaito's martial arts school. The two were almost always rivals, and it carries through to Tsuru Sennin's pupils Tenshinhan and Chaozu. His younger brother is the world famous assassin, Tao Pai Pai.

Tsukutsun Tsun- A member of Penguin Village who very much reminds me of Yamucha in both his action and his appearance. From what I've seen of the series, I believe that he likes Akane, and in a series of manga even rescues her from a mad scientist. He's two years older than his sister Tsururin and was born in the year 732 AD.

Tsuruten Tsun- Tsukutsun's father I don't know much about him, but he shows up from time to time in Dr. Slump.

Tsururin Tsun- Tsukutsun's little sister born in the year 730 AD. She's seen riding around with Tarou when she makes her appearance in the DB manga.

Tsutsutsunodano Teiyuugoutsururin- Bleck, what a mouthful, and I don't think I put it together correctly either, but oh well. Anyway, this lady is Tsukutsun's mom.

Teouno o Motsuta Oyaji "Hand Axe Wielding Man"- The guy who smashes an axe over Gokou's head when he busts into his house in the beginning of Dragon Ball.

Terebi Anaunsa "Television Announcer"- A television.....announcer for station CQV who tells the world of the horrific events which occur at Ginger Town.

Tenkaichi Budoukai Anaunsa "Tenkaichi Budoukai Announcer"- The blonde haired quick witted announcer for every Tenkaichi Budoukai in Dragon Ball. It may seem like a small role, but he develops a personality during the series, and after a while, you actually get to like him almost as a main character. Whenever Gokou and the rest participate in the tournament, some problem always seems to come up, and he'll cover it to and make it seem like part of the action, (well except for when Piccolo reveals his true identity in the 23rd Budoukai). He's also one of the few normal people in the world who doesn't believe that Mr. Satan really defeated Cell.

Tenshinhan- Tenshinhan is the walking mountain of muscle who resembles Sagat, (but with two more eyes than Sagat has). I'm going to start off by saying that Tenshinhan is classified as being a human. Yes, it's weird that he has three eyes, but isn't it also odd that Kuririn doesn't have a nose? Tenshinhan's past is never fully revealed, but somehow in life he became best friends with Chaozu. He treats Choazu like a son, and if you really want to tick this guy off, then you only need to badmouth his little buddy, since he defends him fiercly. Tenshinhan's martial arts teacher was Tsuru Sennin, whom he abandons after he finds out that Tsuru Sennin is using Tenshinhan as an instrument of revenge against Kame Sennin's students by trying to make them cheat to win. When Tenshinhan finds out that Tsuru was forcing Chaozu to telepathically hold Gokou in place, he tells Chaozu to stop. Tsuru Sennin then holds up Chazou and threatens to hurt him if he doesn't hold Gokou down, but then he's blasted away by a Kame Hame Ha from Kame Sennin. After that display, Tenshinhan loses all respect for his former master and trains himself from there forward. Contrary to popular belief, Tenshinhan is the strongest human Z Soldier. he is far stronger than Kuririn, he just normally doesn't get a chance to show it. As the series progresses, less and less of him and Chaozu is seen, but they pop up from time to time. They are always training together in a wilderness area. Tenshinhan is 6' 1" tall and is the second tallest Z Soldier. He weighs 166 lbs.

Dende- Dende is the Saichourou's 108th child. He is a Dragon Type Nameckian who is rescued by Gohan and Kuririn early in the Freeza saga. At first he is very quiet and reserved, but later he becomes one of Gohan's best friends. After the fight on Nameck is finished, Dende eventually leaves the Earth and goes to New Nameck. Several years later, Gokou comes to New Nameck looking for a new Kami. Muuri suggests that Dende would be a great choice, so Gokou takes Dende to Earth to become to new Kami. Dende powers up the Dragon Balls after he arrives and allows three wishes to be made at one time.

Tenron*- The head master of a martial arts school in the same town as Chendai. He is a master of the Hyoga style of martial arts and intends to kill Chendai at the village's martial arts tournament, so that he can become the head martial arts teacher.

Tooma*- A tall masculine member of Bardock's team. He's the only person Bardock gets a chance to talk to when he finds his group slaughtered by Dodoria and some of Freeza's underlings. The blood-stained headband that Bardock wears was worn by Tooma as an armband when he was still alive. Bardock removed it from him after his death and wore it honoring his team.

Dore*- One of the member's of Koola's Special Forces in DBZ Movie 6 "Battle of the Strongest". I think he's pretty lame as a villain he looks....stupid. Literally and figuratively. Piccolo takes him out.

Tooro*- The last surviving Kanassan, (a race which Bardock's team wipes out at the begining of the Bardock TV Special), who curses Bardock with the ability to see the future, (meaning, the complete destruction of planet Vegita and the importance of his "wothless" son's future).

Dokuta Uiro "Dr. Willow"*- The main villain in DBZ Movie 2, "The World's Strongest Man". He was a scientist who worked on evil experiments with his assistant/creation Dr. Koochin. However, 50 years before the start of Dragon Ball, horrible weather said to be sent from the gods sealed him in his laboratory in the Tsurumaitsuburi Mountains. However, his brain was transplanted into a large mechnical device that would keep him alive until the day when he could find the world's strongest man and take control of their body. Gokou takes him out with the Genki Dama.

Dokuta Koochin "Dr. Koochin"*- Dr. Willow's android assistant who gathers the Dragon Balls and frees Dr. Willow from his laboratory. He is well equiped for fighting even though he appears old and harmless. His hand can transform into a chain gun and his staff can hurl energy blasts.

Dokuta Raichi "Dr. Raichi"*- I dunno why they included this guy in the Daizenshyu, but oh well. Dr. Raichi was a villain who appeared in two Dragon Ball Z home videos which were actually animated guides to two video games for a video game system that never even came out in America called the Playdia. The two games were pretty terrible, (as most DB related video games are), but the cool part were the two home movies that played out as a normal story of DBZ, but actually were guiding you through the game. Anyway, Dr. Raichi is the villain of the game. He was formerly a member of the Tsufuru-jin race which the Saiya-jin wiped out, but he returns to get revenge on the Saiya-jin. He's defeated easily by Gokou and gang since the only thing he has going for him is a force-field which Gokou and the others figure out how to get around, (by shooting a blast into the forcefield with him). But his ultimate creation is really cool. I don't believe it was given a name, but he's a big red sucker with blue orbs on his body. He's very strong, (and cool).

Toteppo*- A squat masculine member of Bardock's team who is apparently the strong man of the group. His skin is darker than the others, and he has what appear to be scars on his forehead.

Toto Oyako "Toto Family"*- A family of Pteradactyls that Gohan and Goten befriend. The father and mother aren't given a name, but Gohan and Goten call their baby "Chibi" which means little or small. Chibi is captured by the circus and the Great Saiyaman tries to rescue him, but before he can, Chibi's momma and papa go on an angry rampage searching for their child.

Dodoria- One of Freeza's top soldiers. He doesn't appear to be powerful, (since he's a fat pink blob with spiky bones stretching his skin), but for his size, he's remarkably fast and powerful. He's ruthless and is willing to do any evil task for Freeza. Dodoria is killed by a ki blast from Vegita. His power level was approximately 22,000.

Toninjinka- The boss of a small group gangsters that terrorize a small town. The ironic thing, is that he's a giant rabbit and his gang members wear fake rabbit ears. Fruity? Yes. However, the reason Toninjinka is feared so much is because he has the ability to turn people into carrots, just by touching them. He's sent to the moon by Gokou where he's forced to make rabbit shaped treats for kids, (it's a play on an old Japanese folk-tale which says that rabbits live on the moon and make treats for children, which is also why Sailor Moon's name is Usagi, because Usagi means rabbit in Japanese). Toninjinka is 5' 2" tall and weighs 135 and 1/2 lbs.

Dorakyu Man "Dracula Man"- One of Uranai Baba's ghostly fighters. He fights using typical vampire techniques (like sucking blood out of his opponents). He beats Kuririn, but he loses against Puuaru and Upa. They use a combination of Garlic Breath and Puuaru's changing ability beat him.

Doramu "Drum"- The last and shortest lived of Piccolo Daimaou's evil spawn. Daimaou spits him out when Tenshinhan arrives to try and seal Daimaou in he Denshi Jar. Drum beats the heck out of Tenshinhan, but when Gokou arrives on the scene, he knocks Drum's eyes out with a single kick.

Mirai no Trunks "Future Trunks"- The Daizenshyu lists both Future and Little Trunks as the same character, but since they're so different, I'm dividing them into two seperate sections. Future Trunks comes to the present from the year 784 AD. His future is a bleak one. Son Gokou died from a viral heart disease he picked up on the planet Yardrat and soon three years later, the Atificial Humans showed up, and killed all of the Z Soldiers, except Gohan. As Trunks grows older, Gohan trains him, but eventually he is killed by the Artificial Humans. (In the anime, it was Gohan's death that made Trunks angry enough to turn SSJ, in the manga, he was was able to turn SSJ prior to Gohan's death). His mother, Buruma, invents a Time Machine which will allow him to travel back through time to the year 764 AD and give Gokou the medicine to cure his disease. (The medicine had not been invented till many years after Gokou's death). He also came to warn Gokou of the arrival of the Artificial Humans three years from then. With this accomplished, he returns to his future, and waits 6 months for the Time Machine to recharge. (It can only be assumed that he trained during this period of time). When the Time Machine is fully recharged, he returns to the same time he was in before, but three years later. From this point he sticks around, and his identity is slowly revealed to everyone. In other words, the fact that he's Vegita and Buruma's son. During the Cell Game, Trunks is killed, which causes Vegita to FLIP (proving that he actually does care for his son) but he's quickly ressurected by the Dragon Balls. Soon after that he returns to his future in 785 AD. and is finally able to kill Androids 17 and 18, as well as the Cell in his time period three years later in 788 AD. Trunks then returns to the past again, (in the anime story-line ONLY), just to say "hi" to everyone and participate in a martial arts tournament, the events of which are shown in DBZ Movie 9. I don't normally go into this much detail, but I'd say Trunks is a pretty popular character, and this should answer most of your major questions about him. As a person, Trunks is fairly quiet. He doesn't say much except when he has something VERY important to say, or he's invited into a conversation. Trunks use a formal type of language. That's not to say he's uptight, he's just normally very polite. Even when fighting Cell, he keeps his cool and carries on a conversation with him. It's safe to safe that he's the type of person who would be willing to sacrafice himself so that others could live.

Chibi Trunks "Little Trunks"- I've been waiting to do this one, because I want to kill a myth which seems to be spreading. A lot of people say that Trunks is "spoiled and a complete brat". They say he's a complete contrast to Future Trunks, yadda yadda yadda. That's not true. Trunks is simply like any normal eight year old. Although Future Trunks is very polite and acts very different from an eight year old, (which would seem obvious since he's a young adult), Chibi Trunks can be seen developing into the same type of person that Future Trunks was during the end of DBZ, and through DBGT (If you count GT that is). However, there is a BIG difference between the two which no one ever seems to touch upon. Chibi Trunks is filled with pride much like his father. He has little faith in Son Gokou when he arrives, and doesn't believe that he's any stronger than his father. (Until he feels Gokou's ki when he turns SSJ3 of course). Trunks also defends his father valiantly when Buu attacks him, and is angered by the fact that someone like his dad could be beat up on so easily. Chibi Trunks is also very adventurous and is always looking to fight strong opponents. Another myth is that Goten is hesistant to embark on adventures with Trunks. Goten and Trunks both go nuts when they hear about Majin Buu and can't wait to see him, (and fight him). Trunks was born in the year 766 AD. and was eighteen years old when DBZ ended. Like Goten, he had the ability to turn Super Saiya-jin from an early age.

Akira Toriyama- Toriyama shows up in Dragon Ball (drawn in his robot form) from time to time as a joke. He was born in 1955 and worked on Dragon Ball from 1984 to 1995.

Torubi*- a competitor in the Annoyoichi Budoukai who looks like a cross between Freeza and Cell.

Dorodabo*- A fat flying villain from DBZ Movie 4, "Super Saiya-jin Son Gokou". His design and personality was definately inspired by Dodoria. He's killed by Piccolo. (He blasts his head off).

Metade ora no Kitoushi "Metade the Priest"*- A fanatical priest from DBZ Movie 10 who believes that human sacrafice is neccessary to ward off an evil monster. But Goten, Trunks and Videl make a fool out of him when they prove him wrong, and defeat the monster, (a dinosaur), by themselves. The priest later supplies Jyaga, (the "villain" from DBZ Movie 11), with the blood of Brolly, (in order to make a clone of him), so he can get revenge on the kids.

Nappa- An Elite Saiya-jin soldier born on the planet Vegita. In the anime, he's shown to be sort of a bodyguard for Vegita, (Like Vegita would really need Nappa to guard him), when he was a child. In the manga, they're just shown as fellow soldiers. Nappa is not stupid, although he would appear to be that way. He loses control of himself at times when someone shows him up, but he's usually well composed, (for a killer that is). His power level is 4,000 which is light years beyond most of the Z Soldiers' at the time he and Vegita show up on Earth, except for Son Gokou's of course. At the time of his death he was 50 years old. I'd also like to point out that Nappa is not bald. He apparently shaves his head by choice because, later in the manga, Vegita explains that once a Saiya-jin's hairstyle reaches a certain length, it will never change, or grow longer.

Namu- An competitor in the 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai who looks like he's from Indian. He comes from a small village, and he's participating in the Budoukai to gain money neccessary to buy several months supply of water since his village is suffering from a terrible drought. He loses to Gokou, but Kamesennin sees the man's sorrowful situation and supplies him with two months worth of water. In the anime, Gokou pays a visit to Namu's village and helps him solve the drought problem. Namu is 5' 9" tall and weighs 151 lbs. His home address is SAM275508S.

Nameck sei-jin no Waka Mono "Young Nameckians"- Three yound Soldier Type Nameckians who try to defend Muuri's village. They each have a power of 3,000 and are, unforunately, all killed very quickly, (and violently), by Dodoria.

Niko chan Daiou "High King Niko chan"- An alien from who is stranded in Penguin Village, along with his servant. He resembles a butt with a face and antenna. And I commonly refer to him as, "The butt monster from Uranus". He's always trying to conquer the Earth, either that or just build himself a spaceship so that he can get home. He's a complete moron and his servant is actually very bright. (Reminds me of Emperor Pilaf). He pops up for and second in the DB manga and gives a "peace" sign.

Nishi Kaioushin "Kaioushin of the West"- The only female Kaioushin. She's killed by Buu millions of years before Dragon Ball begins.

Nishi no Miyakono no Jyosei "Western Capitol Woman"- A woman who Gokou asks for directions to Buruma's house. She doesn't know who Buruma is, but she directs him to a police officer who might help him. Gokou gives her 100,000 zeni he won in a street fight as thanks. (Expressing the fact that Gokou has very little if any concept of money).

Nishi no Miyako no Chinpira "Western Capitol Punk"- A thief who tries to steal Gokou's 100,000 zeni, but ends up getting beat up by him. He and his partner play a MUCH larger role in the anime.

Nise Supa Senshi "Fake Super Soldiers"*- In the anime, when Gokou and Vegita are wandering around Buu's stomach, they're ambushed by copies of Gotenks, Gohan and Piccolo. Of course they're not the real deal so they're beaten fairly quickly, but the fight is sort of cool since it's Z Soldier VS Z Soldier.

Nikki*- Garlic Junior's fruity servant from DBZ Movie 1 who has quite a taste for alcoholic apples. Despite his femenine voice and mannerisms, he's a pretty powerful fighter. He's killed by Gokou's Kame Hame Ha, along with Ginger.

Ningyo "Mermaid"- A beautiful mermaid who Gokou tries to bring to Muten Roshi as a house-maid. (One can only begin to imagine what else Muten Roshi also intends her to be).

Ningen o Utsu Otoko "Human Gunman"- During the time when Buu is starting to settle down with Mr. Satan, a very sick individual stops caring about life and goes sround killing people for sport. In the anime and manga, I was actually shocked when it showed him and his partner gun down an old man and woman. This idiot and his partner are basically responsible for the creation of Super Buu. They chance upon Buu while he's playing catch with Bee and shoot the puppy. Mr. Satan locates the two and beats them up, then goes back to Buu who heals the puppy instantly. But then the idiot returns and shoots Mr. Satan through the chest. Buu heals Satan, but his anger explodes and Old Buu is released from his anger. Luckily this guy has a pleasing death. Old Buu blasts him into a million pieces with a point-blank ki blast.
