Son Goku

Son Goku（孫悟空） is the cheerful, battle-loving protagonist of Dragon Ball, a Saiyan sent to Earth who was raised by Grandpa Gohan and grew into a pure-hearted martial artist. Defined by boundless curiosity, sportsmanlike honor, and a simple desire to test himself against stronger foes, he protects friends and worlds almost incidentally—because it lets him fight great battles. Goku’s signature techniques include the Kamehameha, Kaiō-ken, and Spirit Bomb, and he unlocks successive transformations—from Super Saiyan through Super Saiyan God and Ultra Instinct—that push his limits while retaining his playful humility. As a husband to Chi-Chi and father to Gohan and Goten, he balances domestic life with training under masters like Kame-Sen’nin and Whis, forging rivalries-turned-friendships with Vegeta and others. His blend of innocence, grit, and relentless self-improvement made him a global icon and the template for modern shōnen heroes.
