This section will give a brief explanation of some of the Kaios in the Dragonball Saga. Some might be missing, if you do find some, please feel free to send them in, as I will credit you:
Kaio-Sama: He is also known as King Kai, the one who teaches Goku the Genki-Dama or the Soukidan. He is probably the best known Kaio there is.He rules the Northern Galaxy.
Kaio-shin: He is a friend of Gohan's and his Body guard is Kibit. He guards the Zeta Sword on his planet.
Kaio-Dou: He is the Grand Kai in english versions, and he rules practically all of the Kaios. He is a groovy person and he kind of funky.
Yama-Dou: He is the Kaio of Checkpoint. He is known as King Yama and sends people to either Heaven or Hell.
Kaio-sun: He rules the southern galaxy, his best fighter is Pikehan, like Kaio-Sama with Goku. He is only seen in the Kaio-Tournaments and the episodes and movies with Pikehan, like Janemba Movie.
Kaio-da: She rules the Eastern Galaxy as she has the BLUE fighters or the fish fighters you see in the Kaio-Tournaments. She has a lot of good fighters but not good enough to beat Goku or Pikehan.
