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 Mao
Race: Human

Hair: Black
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 he was still a pupil of his. We usually get to see him verbally abused by his own daughter Chi-Chi.

He is incredibly powerful, and neither Goku or Vegeta can beat him at full strength.
Jisu
Race: Unknown
Eyes: Black
Hair: White
Abilities: Bukujutsu, Red Comet Attack, Zanzoken
Series: 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.

The first person to train Goku and Kuririn extensively, Kame is responsible for their great strength at such an early age.
Kami-sama
Race: Namek
Eyes: Black
Hair: None
Skin: Green

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.
