Goku, born Kakarot, is the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball series and one of the most iconic characters in anime history. Sent to Earth as a baby from the dying planet Vegeta, he was found and raised by Grandpa Gohan, who taught him martial arts. After hitting his head as a child, Goku lost his Saiyan aggression and became a pure-hearted warrior dedicated to protecting Earth and constantly pushing beyond his limits.

Throughout his journey, Goku has achieved legendary transformations including Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God, and Ultra Instinct, each time breaking through barriers that were thought impossible. His childlike love of fighting, insatiable appetite, and genuine kindness have endeared him to fans worldwide. Despite being incredibly powerful, Goku remains humble and always seeks stronger opponents to test himself against. His signature spiky black hair, orange gi, and cheerful demeanor have become synonymous with the shonen genre itself.
