Introduction
Being the first character introduced in the Dragonball series, Son Goku plays the most vital role in all three dragonball series.  His role develops the entire plot of the anime series, making it an action-packed yet humorous show depicting a world littered with evil villains and pure-hearted warriors like himself.  Goku is the one of the most beloved character in the show, if not, he's certainly the most exciting to watch.  Although Goku is not too bright, his determination and will to terminate the villains from destroying Earth is tremendous. Throughout his life, he was killed two times while defending Earth from bad guys like Raditz and Evil Cell. His last appearance in the show occurred when he was watching his great, great grandson, Goku Jr., competing against Vegeta Jr., in the Tenkachu tournament.  While at the fighting tournament, his daughter-in-law, Videl spotted him, but he quickly disappeared. Before this tournment, Goku had long disappeared after the fight against evil Buu in Dragonball GT.  It is believed that Goku was sent to live with the gods. Watching his development from a young, uncivilized boy to a grown man and husband, Goku is role model to young kids around the world.  His kindness to others makes him one of the unique saiya-jins.

Information
Goku was the first character introduced in the Dragonball Series.  Being a third-class saiya-jin from Planet Vegeta, he was immediately sent to Earth after his birth to destroy all life there and take over so that he can prepare to sell it to buyers.  Even as a child, his saiya-jin power was enough to destroy all life on Earth. After flying to Earth in a space pod, he landed on Earth.  He was found by an old, yet great martial arts man named Gohan. Grandpa Gohan decided to raise Goku and he even taught Goku a little bit of kung-fu.  Being the saiya-jin he was, Goku was a horrible child until one day, while trying to escape from Grandpa Gohan's hands, he falls down a cliff and bumps his head hard, causing his to forget his ultimate mission---to destroy earth and prepare it for sale.  From then on, Goku was somewhat of a normal child.  His hatred and evil in him vanished.  He became a pure-hearted young boy.  One night, after being exposed to a full moon, Goku transformed into a gigantic monkey, (whenever a saiya-jin sees a full moon, their tails make them transform into a huge and extremely powerful ape-like creature) and squashed his adopted father to death, without even noticing it.  Later on, he finds a five-star dragonball and believes that it was the spirit of Grandpa Gohan, so he keeps it.

After meeting Bulma, Goku is acknowledged with the secret that the seven dragonballs can grant any wish within the power of Kami-sami, the guardian of Earth. He soon joins her in the quest to find the seven earth dragonballs.  Through many adventures, he meets Yamcha, Tienshinhan and other characters who join him in the quest for the dragonballs. He battles off the Red Ribbon army Eventually, he ends up at training at Kamesenin's place.  There, he meets his lifelong friend, Krillin and trains to become an even stronger warrior.
