Goku is the hero of Dragon Ball Z, the most powerful warrior on Earth.
When the Saiyans arrive, Goku learns the mysterious secret of his own
past: he is a Saiyan formerly named Kakarot. Goku was sent to Earth as
a baby to destroy the planet, but a head injury as a child scrambled
Goku's programming. Instead of growing up to become a destructive
super-warrior, he became innocent and pure of heart, fighting for good.
Goku is peaceful, good natured, honest, loving to his family and
friends, loyal, trustworthy, and brave. If he has a weakness, it is his
trusting nature. He always finds the good in people when others don't
see it, though Goku's enemies sometimes take advantage of his naive
trust.

Trunks is the son of
Bulma - a headstrong, technical genius - and Vegeta - one of the most
powerful fighters in the Dragon Ball Z universe. His exact age is not
certain, but he first appears in Dragon Ball Z as a teen. He is from
the future and has witnessed a threat to Earth which cannot be stopped.
He has come back in time to try to save the future Earth, only to find
our heroes in Earth facing their own peril.
Much to the amazement of the Z gang, Trunks immediately turns Super
Saiyan and defeats Frieza and King Cold. He gives Goku medicine to
prevent his death from heart disease and tells them of Earth's coming
predicament. The Z Fighters immediately go into training, and Trunks
returns to his own time.
Trunks returns to our timeline again in the Android Saga to ensure that
the Androids do arrive on Earth. He is also born during this saga, so
we have the opportunity to see him both as a teenager and a baby at the
same time. He continues to exist as a boy and a teen until the end of
the Cell Saga, when the older Trunks returns to his original timeline.
Named after his
adoptive grandfather, Gohan is Goku and Chi-Chi's eldest son. He is
idealistic, good, and pure like his father.
With Goku's departure to the next dimension and the eminent arrival of
the Saiyans, Gohan is key to the survival of Earth. Thus Piccolo, a
former enemy of his father trains Gohan for the upcoming battle.
Although initially a wimp, Gohan's training in the wilderness and
subsequent fighting make him both brave and loyal.

blasts, can split into two or four separate entities, and has the
ability to regenerate limbs. Originally from the far away planet Namek,
Piccolo starts off fighting Goku to rule the world. When the Saiyans
arrive he joins forces with Goku. At first it is an uneasy alliance,
soon enough their bond becomes stronger. While training Gohan, Piccolo

person who has ever been a friend to him, Piccolo starts changing for
the better.
