Character Guide: H - J 

Haiya Dragon*   A little purple dragon that first appears in DBZ Movie 3, where he befriends Gohan after the boy rescues him from a forest fire.  In the Japanese and original Pioneer dub of the movie, the dragon is simply called Haiya Dragon, but later the FUNimation dub changes the name to Icarus for some reason.  The dragon also appears in Movies 4 and 5, and even in the anime series during the Garlic Junior Saga.  Commonly associated with Gohan, Haiya Dragon is usually portrayed with Gohan riding his back.

High King Niko-chan   A creature resembling a green butt with a face and antenna who is stranded in Penguin Village along with his servant.  In his spare time he either attempts to conquer the Earth, or simply builds a spaceship in order to get back to his home planet.  Though his servant is bright, Niko-chan himself is a bumbling idiot.  In the Dragonball manga, he appears briefly giving the victory sign, although his part is bigger in the anime series.

Hildegarn - “Hirudegaan”*   A gigantic monster in DBZ Movie 13, he was created by evil sorcerers who cast a spell of negative energy on a menacing stone statue and brought it to life more than 1,000 years ago on the planet Konatsu.  Hildegarn was never defeated, for killing him was almost impossible, but a spell was cast upon the monster that caused him to be split in half so that his power would be dismantled.  With the same spell, the top half was sealed inside the body of the planet’s legendary warrior Tapion, while the bottom half was hidden inside his little brother Minosha.  Hildegarn’s lower half manages to get loose and steps on Minosha, killing the boy in the beginning of the movie.  Hoi convinces Goku and the others to help him find the dragonballs to rescue Tapion from his prison, but in reality the wish opens the Oracle that sealed the warrior, and starts the process of Hildegarn’s restoration.  After undergoing a metamorphosis, Hildegarn emerges as a more powerful creature with the ability to fly.  This monster is tangible only when attacking, otherwise Hildegarn can instantly teleport away.  He is defeated by Goku with his most powerful physical move in the anime/movie storyline, Ryu Ken or Dragon Fist.

Ilikemen - “Otosuki”   A competitor in the 28^th Tenkaichi Budoukai, he is built like an ox and dressed in black leather.

Illusion Saiyans*   The two Saiyajin who battle Tien, Chaozu, Krillin and Yamcha in the Pendulum Room, or the Dream Chamber.  One is short and bald with light skin, while the other is taller, has hair and is darker skinned; both are ugly.  They are simulated in order for Earth’s warriors to test their skills and see how well they can actually do against the estimated strength of a Saiyajin in the field.

Janemba - “Janenba”*   The main villain of DBZ Movie 12, he is created when a young ogre guarding the Soul Cleansing Machine in the Afterlife fails to keep his watch and doesn’t notice when the machine begins to overflow, until it explodes and spews out pure evil everywhere.  The evil is of such great magnitude that it possesses the boy and causes him to transform into a huge monster, becoming the embodiment of evil who calls himself Janemba.  In his first form, he resembles a gigantic, fat yellow baby.  Fans often refer to him as “The God of Pokemon” for one reason - he only says a single word in the entire movie, which he repeats over and over: his name.  He doesn’t appear all that powerful or menacing, but he manages to seal King Yama’s Palace in a strong force field that can only be broken by cursing and violent threats.  Janemba also breaks the barrier between the Afterlife and Earth, releasing every villain and restless spirit who has been defeated or killed in the past upon the world, including Frieza and the Ginyu Force.

                When Goku and Vegeta face him in Hell, they appear to nearly defeat him, until they realize in horror that Janemba has only transformed.  He becomes a red and purple devil-like creature and wields an impressive katana and a menacing countenance.   Janemba shrinks a bit when he transforms, although he is still much taller than Goku and Vegeta.  Unlike his first form, he doesn’t speak at all, but only laughs at the Saiyajin who think they can defeat him.  Janemba holds a wide variety of techniques for a movie villain, including a form of Instant Transmission, or teleportation, where he phases out in block-like particles, giving the scene a video game-like effect, and travels through a hole in space and time to reappear nearby.  Vegeta and Goku defeat him by fusing into Gogeta, who whips Janemba around until he explodes, leaving only a dazed young ogre where he once stood. 

Jeice - “Jiisu”   A member of the Ginyu Force, he has long, wild white hair and bright orange skin.  He resembles a punk rocker with a low intelligence and a bad Australian accent.  Jeice’s specialty is his combination of speed and powerful energy attacks.  He lasts longer in the series than the other members of the Ginyu Force (except Ginyu), and is finally killed by a hand-blast from Vegeta.
