Information
Krillin is Goku’s best friend. He and Goku were both trained by Master Roshi immediately after the Pilaf Era of Dragonball. They were rivals at first, but quickly became friends. Much like Master Roshi, Krillin is a huge pervert. In fact, he gave Master Roshi a porno magazine just to be trained.

Krillin entered the Tenkaichi Budokai tournament many times, but has never won. He is the strongest human on Earth, but he can’t measure up to the power of Saiya-jins and the monsters they fight. Krillin was barely helpful in the Cell Era, and he became much weaker in the Buu Era.

Krillin is a very short man. He’s bald until the Buu Era of Dragonball Z. Despite popular beliefs, he chooses to shave his head because he is a monk. That is also why he has the 6 dots on his head. All of the monks like Krillin have shaved their heads similarly, as some of the other monks Krillin trained with met up with him at the Tenkaichi Budokai. In the Buu Era, he grows some black hair, and in GT he has gray hair and a moustache. One of the most interesting thing about his appearance is that he does not have a nose. It is said that he breathes through the six dots on his head.

All Krillin really wants is a girlfriend. He mentioned this on numerous occasions, but all of which were removed from the dub. In the Garlic Jr. Saga, he has a dead ringer for Bulma named Marron as his girlfriend. She leaves him at the beginning of the Android Saga, though. Sometime between the Cell and Buu eras, Krillin marries Android #18. Android #18 is the one who convinced Krillin to stop shaving his head. They have a daughter named Marron (yes…he named his daughter after his ex-girlfriend) who accompanies them to the Tenkaichi Budokai, and shows up in GT a bit.

Krillin dies 3 times; once in each series. In Dragonball, he is killed by one of Piccolo’s minions. In Z, Freeza kills him and Goku becomes a Super Saiyajin. In GT, Super 17 kills him. Don’t worry, Krillin always gets wished back.

Let’s just note the spelling of Krillin’s name. His name can be written in English a plethora of ways. FUNimation uses Krillin, Viz uses Kururin, and Klylin, Kululin, and pretty much any other spelling that remotely sounds like his name are accepted. We all know who we’re talking about. This site will use the spelling “Krillin”.
