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

Ginkaku*- Ginkaku is Kinkaku's smaller brother. He and his brother are beaten by Gokou and forced to work for the people of the village.

79. Kingu Kyasuru Eihei "The King's Castle Guard"- A huge guard who tries to stop Piccolo Daimaou from getting to the King, but Daimaou kills him by putting his fist through the guard's chest.

Kuura "Koola"*- Koola is Freeza's brother. He is the villain in DBZ Movies 5 and 6. Movie 5 actually takes place in the anime time-line, however, 6 doesn't. Koola has the unique ability to transform to increase his power beyond that of his brother's and thus transform into a fifth form. He's pretty cool as a villain, and shares Freeza's polite mannerisms. In the first few minutes of the movie, it's very clear that he doesn't care about his brother very much, and just stays out of his way because he doesn't want to bother with him. (A mistake that eventually ends up costing him his life). In Movie 5, Gokou blasts him and his Death Ball through the sun with a Kame Hame Ha.

Daigorou Kurigashisa- One of the inhabitants of Penguin Village who pops up during the cross-over series. I don't know much about Dr. Slump so I don't have any background information on him.

Kuririn- Everyone's favorite monk! Kuririn is a member of the Orinji Temple, a sect of monks. The six dots on his head are scars which are burned into the forehead of each member. Contrary to popular belief he is NOT bald. He shaves his head so that an opponent cannot grab his hair in a fight. During the seven years after the Cell Game, he lets his hair grow back. His wife is the vexing Number 18 and their daughter's name is Maron. He was born in the year 736 AD. and is one year older than his best friend Son Gokou.

Gurudo- The smallest and least powerful member of the Ginyu Tokusentai. Gurudo is a squat green alien with four eyes. While he may be weak, he posseses some fantastic abilities. He can freeze time for as long as he can hold his breath, and his ultimate move is his ability to telepathically freeze his opponents in place. He is decapitated by Vegita.

Gurumesu Ou "King Gurumesu"*- The unwilling villain from Dragon Ball Movie 1, "The Legend of Shenron". He is a normal person who became corrupt when he discovered special rubies that made him have a ceasless hunger.

Gureto Saiyaman "Great Saiyaman"- Gohan's "alter-ego" during his high-school life. He dons a helmet, a green suit and white mantle, and special watch invented by Buruma which helps him change his outfit from normal to super-hero. Later on, he replaces the helmet with a bandana and sun-glasses so that he can legally participate in the Tenkaichi Budoukai, (wearing and type of armor is a no-no). In the manga he performs a couple good deeds, but in the anime he's elevated to Super Man status and does all sorts of wonderful things for Satan City. A movie is even made about him. Aside from being a hero, he's also famous for his "cool" poses which is a direct blow to Sailor Moon. He makes a series of ridiculous movements while spouting off phrases like, "Wherever evil lurks and destroys the hopes of good people, the Great Saiyaman will be there for protection!".

Gureto Saiyaman 2 Gou "Great Saiyaman Number 2"*- In the anime and DBZ Movie 13, "Dragon Fist Assault!! If Gokou Can't do it, Who Can??", Videl teams up with Gohan on his crusade of justice. She wears an outfit similar to his, but it's definately got a woman's touch. She's barely in the anime at all, so it's a wonder that she plays a pretty large role in Movie 13 as her "alter-ego".

Guregori "Gregory"*- This is Kaiou's motor-mouth pupil, a little flying cricket named Gregory. He only shows up in the anime and in a couple movies. He's very respectful of his master and always speaks highly of him, but he'll talk trash to anyone he doesn't believe is better than him.

KTV Jyosei Intabyua "KTV's Female Interviewer"- A reporter for station KTV.

Genki Dama ni Kyouryoku Shytotsuru Otoko "First normal man to give his power to the Genki Dama"- What a mouthful. While Gokou is gathering energy for his Ultimate Genki Dama, Vegita pleads with the people of Earth to give their raise their hands and offer thier energy. VERY few people do it because they think it's another mind trick of Buu's, but one man in an artic environment gives up his energy. He's the first person outside of the small group of people who actually knew it was Vegita's voice that gave his energy to Gokou.

Kenpau Ka- A street fighter who offers people 100,000 zeni if they can beat him. He fights "a little kid" named Gokou and loses pathetically. Gokou uses the money he wins to locate Buruma's house.

Piroshiki*- One of Mr. Satan's students who "competes" against Cell in the anime. He's a large guy with the power of a wild boar, but he obviously doesn't hold a candle to Cell.

Kouryu*- A ten year old competitor in the 25th Tenkaichi Budoukai's Children's Division.

Goremu*- I have no clue who this is, but they only appear in the anime, and they're probablly a character in Dragon Ball, which I haven't seen all of yet.

Ko Gamera "Kid Gamera"- If you fall into one of two categories, then you'll get this joke. Either A. A MST3K freak or B. A Japanese monster movie freak. Gamera is a giant turtle from outerspace with two rockets coming out of his butt that he uses to fly around with. Think Godzilla with a shell. Obviously, Akira Toriyama is a bit of a fan. Since Muten Roshi doesn't fly, lost the Kintoun to Gokou, (which he couldn't ride anyway) and sometimes needs to get places fast, he calls in Kid Gamera. It's a little mini version of Gamera that Muten Roshi can fly around on. Now, the thing about Gamera is that when he flies, he spins around in circles, so does kid Gamera. So when Muten Roshi utilizes this mode of transportation, whenever he gets off, he immeditaly vomits. Obviously, it's not a very popular way of getting around.

Gokuya- The machine gun/sword wielding villain from Movie 9, who is taken out by his own boss Bojack.

Koku Ou "King of the World"- The little dog/man ruler of the world. He pops up from time to time during times of crisis. He played a fairly large role in Dragon Ball when Daimaou lead an assault on his castle and claimed it as his own. He's one of the few people who knows that Gokou is actually a hero.

Koko*- A little girl who lives in a mountain vilage she was going to offer herself as a human sacrafice to stop a monster from terrorizing her village, but Videl wouldn't let her and put a stop to the monster herself....with a "little" help from Goten and Trunks.

Gojita*- The washboard stomached result of Fusion by Gokou and Vegita. Gojita only appears in DBZ Movie 12, "Rebirth of Fusion! Gokou and Vegita!!", and in Dragon Ball GT. Gojita is fantastically powerful and takes out Janenba effortlessly in Movie 12, and would probablly have done the same thing to Ii Shenron if he weren't so cocky, (a side-effect of Fusion).

Gozu*- The big blue ogre in Hell who sumo-wrestles with Gokou.

Kon Doru no Shyonen "Dirty Boy"*- A dirty little thief (figuratively and literally) who steals Gokou's clothes and his Dragon Radar while he bathes. Gokou finds him by his scent.

Gotenks- The mini-washboard stomached result of Fusion between Trunks and Goten. Gotenks looks small, but he's a powerhouse. He battles against Majin Buu on two seperate occasions. The first time is when he first successfully becomes Gotenks, (Goten and Trunks previous attempts were VERY unsuccessful), and he loses pitifully. In the manga the fight isn't shown, but it is in the anime. The second occasion is the famous battle in The Room of Spirit and Time between him and Super Buu. The battle later expands to Kami's Palace, (which gets completely destroyed), and even further along, down it concludes on Earth. During the fight, Toriyama returns to his gag style of animation and writing. This is evident through the attacks which he makes up for Gotenks, such as Miracle Super Punch, Great Kick Special and Galactica Donut. While many of his attacks are just a waste of time, he's the only other Saiya-jin besides Gokou who attains Super Saiya-jin 3, which is a valuable assest in his battle against Buu. Unfortunately, he toys with Buu because of the cockiness that results from Fusion, and defuses before he can destroy Buu.

Kori Hakase "Dr. Kori"*- A scientist from DBZ Movie 11 who assists in the craetion of Bio Brolly.

Korudo Ou "King Kold"- Freeza's "Papa" who accompanies him on his trip to Earth to seek revenge on Son Gokou. It's a wonder that Freeza is so tiny, because this sucker is huge. Think, that devil guy from the movie Legend, but without all the red makeup. He's stronger than his son, but as Trunks proves, the bigger they are...... He's killed when Trunks makes a breathing hole through his chest and then annihilates him with a point blank ki attack.

Konkichi*- A little fox kid who Gokou meets on the final stretch of his trip around the world. He's a thief, but he only steals to survive. He treats Gokou like a king since he saved his life.

Zaakuro*- One of the two aliens who disguise themselves as Nameckians and try to trap Buruma, Kuririn and Gohan on their desolate world. They almost succeed and steal their space ship, but Kuririn and Gohan put an end to their treachery.

Saade*- One of the competitors in the Annoyoichi Budoukai. He was born in the year 3500 BC.

Zaabon "Zarbon"- Freeza's right hand man and all around crony. Not much information is given on this character, but he does have the ability to transform in order to increase his power level. However, in his transformed state, he's a disgusting creature, as opposed to his handsome features in his normal state. He hates transforming because he doesn't like his beautiful figure to become distorted, (he's a pretty boy), but he does it none the less to take on Vegita. His normal power level is 23,000.

Saiku Oni*- The lazy punk-rock ogre from DBZ Movie 12. He's known as the Tank Boy whose job it is to change the tanks on the washing machine that evil people's souls go through when they go to Hell in the afterlife. But, he forgets about his job and the evil energy in the tank overflows and explodes. The evil energy swarms around the ogre and goes into him, changing him into the evil demon Janenba. Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Saichourou "Ultimate Elder"- The elder of Namecks. The Saichourou is a Nameckian who has an almost infinite wisdom and some fantastic techniques. He can read minds, asexually reproduce, awaken hidden powers and even create Dragon Balls. Saichourou created the Nameckian Dragon Balls and modeled the Nameck dragon, Porunga, after an image he saw in a dream. He dies due to Freeza's influence, but is later ressurected for a short amount of time so that the Nameck Dragon Balls can become active again and grant one last wish. He dies permamnently on Earth. Just before he dies, he chooses Muuri to be his successor as Saichourou.

Saibai Men- These are little foot soldiers that Saiya-jin can utilize whenever they don't want to get thier hands dirty. The creatures are actually grown in soil. First a seed is planted, then a special solution is poured on top of each seed, and voila! Instant chaos! The creatures are brutal and random, but they always obey their master. Each is fairly strong with a power level of 1,200, but their best technique is a kamikaze explosion tactic. An example of this can be seen when Yamucha is killed.

Suaza*- The leader of Koola's special forces team in DBZ Movie 5 "Battle of the Strongest". He's killed by Piccolo in the end of the movie by everyone's favorite attack, Makkankosappou.

Kinoni Sarada- One of the wacky inhabitants of Penguin Village. Kinoni is little kid that rides around on a tricycle.

Zangya*- Bojack's vexing female underling. She's quite a powerful fighter and ironically takes on Kuririn, (who under estimates her). Near the end of the movie she's killed by Bojack himself because she shows signs of fear.

Sanshyo*- Garlic Junior's enormous musclebound crony from DBZ Movie 1, "Return My Gohan!". He's killed by Piccolo who takes revenge on him for attacking him in the wlderness.

Sanzoku Guma "Bear Thief"- Gokou's first "major" battle with an enemy takes place with this dude. He's a humongous sword-wielding bear with a taste for sea turtle. He threatens to eat Umigame, but Gokou defends the tortoise and takes out the bear with his Jan Ken move.

CQV no Repota "CQV Reporter"- A reporter for station CQV who covers the crisis in Ginger Town where people are mysteriously dissapearing.

Jiisu- A member of the Ginyu Tokusentai, Jiisu's speciality is his combination of speed and powerful techniques. He's not as fast as Baata, or as powerful as Reekuumu, but he's a happy medium between the two of them. He's killed by Vegita.

Shen- The alias that Kami enters the Tenkaichi Budoukai under. He posseses the body of a typical nerdy looking guy to disguise himself so he can defeat Piccolo. His name is a bit of a pun. It's the first part of the dragon's name, Shenron.

Shen no Mutsuko "Shen's son"- Just as the name infers, this is the son of the guy who Kami posseses.

Shenron- Created in the year 470, Shenron is the dragon god who appears when all seven Dragon Balls are gathered in one place and a person utters, "Come out Shenron!". At first, Shenron can only grant one wish, and bring someone back to life once, but later, he recieves a power-up from Dende which allows him to grant three wishes at one time and grant the same wish twice. However, after all three wishes are made, the Dragon Balls will scatter across the Earth and turn to stone. In one year's time, they will return to normal and can be used again. If not all three wishes are not used up at one time, the waiting period is shortened. Shenron is linked to his creator Kami, thus if Kami dies, the Dragon Balls become useless. Later when Kami merges with Piccolo, the Dragon Balls turn to stone, but Dende replaces Kami and becomes the new God, at which point he powers-up the Dragon Balls and restores them. Shenron was killed once in the series by Piccolo Daimaou. The dying process does not work in reverse, in other words, if Shenron dies, Kami does not. After Shenron's death he can be reborn by a simple procedure. In Kami's Palace is a mini statue of the Dragon. If the dragon is dead, the staue will be broken into pieces. In order to ressurect him, you must simply put the statue back together again. Shenron cannot grant wishes that exceeds laws of nature, or the power of his creator. (Power meaning fighting strength). Shenron cannot ressurect someone who has been dead for more than one year, (which makes the Time-Line is DBZ Daizenshyu 7 a bit of a plot hole since Gokou was listed as being ressurected more than a year after his death). And he cannot ressurect someone that has died of natural causes. Whew! That's a bit complex. Hope you got it all.

Super Shenron AKA Porunga- This is the Nameckian equivalent of Shenron. He is much larger than Shenron, (5 times larger to be exact), and when he's first intoduced, he has some advantages over the Earth's Shenron. For starters he can grant three wishes instead of one. The downside is, that he only ressurect one person per wish, so he could could wish back three people total at one time, as opposed to Earth's Shenron which can bring back any number of people. However, after Muuri becomes Saichourou, he upgrades Porunga and allows him to bring back any number of people per wish. Porunga can also grant the same wish more than once. The last advantage he has is that his waiting period after the balls turn to stone is only 153 days as opposed to Earth's one year. As with Earth's Shenron, he's linked to his creator in the same ways. Confidentially, I think Porunga is the cooler looking of the two dragons, but to each his own. His shape was based on a figure the Saichourou saw in a dream.

Shishi Garyu no Ken Pau Ka- A competitor in the 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai who uses Ken Pau as his form of fighting.

"Shitate A" Tailor A- An unfortunate tailor who makes the mistake of asking Tao Pai Pai to pay for the clothes he fitted him with. Tao Pai Pai swiftly kills him for not recognzing him as a world renowned assassin.

"Shitate B" Tailor B- A tailor who fits Gokou with some dress clothes after his old gi was a wreck because he had been wearing it since he competed in the 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai. But Gokou doesn't like the clothes, so he strips naked in the middle of a street and changes into a new orange gi.

Shyaoron*- Tenron's little brother, (little only in name), who accuses Chinshyou of stealing his wallet, just so that he can pick a fight with the boy's father, Chindai.

Jyaga Bandadanshyakku*- A "villain" from DBZ Movie 11 who wants revenge on his old class-mate Mr. Satan for beating him in martial arts when he was a kid. He funds experiments that create Bio Warriors, including Bio Brolly.

Jackie Chun- Kame Sennin's alter-ego during the 21st and 22nd Tenkaichi Budoukai's. He removes his sunglasses, glues some hair to his head, and puts on a black fighting garb, similar to the one Jet Li wore in Lethal Weapon 4. He hides that fact that he's really Kame Sennin because he wants his students, (Gokou and Kuririn), to compete against him full force without holding any reservations or emotions.

Janenba*- Without a doubt Janenba is the second coolest villain in all of the Dragon Ball Z movies. Janenba was basically a demon crime lord in Hell, before he was banished. However, when the Evil Soul Washing Machine overflows and explodes, spewing out pure evil, he's reborn in the body of a young ogre. While Janenba may be evil, he certainly doesn't look it. He looks like the Stay-Puft Mashmallow Man, (minus the hat and scarf), who went to an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord, (and then grew horns, a tail and turned yellow). He has basically no brain and loves to "play" Play meaning maming, killing, suffocating, tormenting and of course the whole, destroy-the-universe bit. As a movie villain, he probablly holds the record for the widest variety of moves. He has a LOT of them. And then, just when you think Gokou finally kills him, he turns into a new type a villain. He's still Janenba, but you'd never know it by looking at him. He resembles the devil, and has a serious attitude. While original Janenba just liked wreaking havoc as a plaything, this guy takes deep pleasure in it, which is evident by his menacing facial expressions. His death is also one of the coolest as well. Gojita takes him out with a small attack of condensed energy that disolves him from the inside out. Very cool.

Shyapuna "Sharpener"- Your typical High-School jock. He participates in almost all sports and in college he would probably be a likely candidate to major in Phys. Ed. in college. He torments Gohan for a bit in school, (which Gohan doesn't even recognzie as such), but later befriends Gohan when he sees that Gohan is capable of catching baseballs 20 feet in the air and taking a fast-ball directly to the face without flinching, (these scenes in the anime are absolute side-splitters!). In the anime he embarks on a quest to reveal the identity of the Great Saiyaman during the 25th Tenkaichi Budoukai, which Gohan reveals anyway.

Shyamo*- An adorable little alien from DBZ Movie 8, enslaved by Paragus and his men to complete the construction of a new planet Vegita. Gohan be friends him. He's named after his planet.

Shyamo Seijin "People of Shyamo"*- The race of people who lived on the planet Shyamo, all of them were enslaved and their planet was destroyed before their eyes by Brolly.
