BIO: Though he was raised on the planet Earth, Goku is one of four of the last of the Saiya-Jin race. When born, Goku (whose Saiya-Jin name is Kakkarot) was sent to Earth, for the Saiya-Jin's wanted him to grow and take over the planet.

When he landed, however, he crashed and lost his memory. He was found by Gohan (whom Goku later named his son after), who raised him as an earthling and his own son, naming him Goku after Son Gouku, a character in a Japanese story about a monkey prince (when a Saiya-Jin is born, they have a tail which resembles that of a monkey). He was trained during his youth by both his Grandfather and, later on, the famous Turtle Hermit, Master Roshi. It wasn't until years later that Goku learned of his Saiya-Jin heritage.

When the Saiya-Jin's came to Earth, Goku was accidentally killed when Piccolo killed Radditz, Goku's brother. Earth's protector, Kame, sent Goku along the snake-way path to receive training from King Kai, who taught Goku the art of Kaio-Ken.

After defeating the Saiya-Jins, Goku set off to save Planet Namek from the forces of Frieza. Upon arrival, Goku's powers developed to the point where he reached the level of Super Saiya-Jin, making him the first to acheive this transformation in over 1000 years.

Later, Trunks arrived from the future and told Goku of his coming heart disease. Goku still contracted it, but he got better and spent a day in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with his son, Gohan, where he reached the Ultra Super Saiya-Jin Level.

He went on the participate in the Cell games, and gave up the battle to allow his son, Gohan, take over. Unfortunatly, things got a little out of hand when Cell almost exploded, so Goku bravely sacrificed himself by teleporting himself and Cell to the other world, where Cell safely exploded. After Cell returned stronger, he was able to aid Gohan in defeating Cell by contacting him from the other world through King Kai. Afterwards, he chose to remain in the other world and leave Gohan as the Earth's defender.

While in Other World with King Kai, he entered the Other World Martial Arts Tournament, but was declined the prize when he and Pikkon were both disqualified. Afterwards, he learned he had 24 hours on Earth where he could do whatever he wished. Choosing wisely, Goku returned on the day of the World Martial Arts Tournament to fight alongside Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, and Android 18. However, the party went bust when the group flew off with Supreme Kai and faced off against Babbidi, an evil wizard who was bent on releasing Majin Buu, a creature of infinite power. After some skirmishs inside Babbidi's ship, Goku was forced to face off against the possessed Vegeta, a battle which ended with Goku being double crossed and left for dead.

Finally recovering from his wounds, Goku let loose his newest transformations, Super Saiya-Jin 3 to distract Majin Buu while Trunks flew to Capsule Corp. to recover the Dragon Radar. Goku was successful, but inadvertantly convinced Majin Buu to begin acting alone, resulting in the death of Babidi.

Goku spent the last 30 minutes of his time on Earth at Kame's Lookout, training Goten and Trunks in the Fusion Technique before leaving them in the capable hands of Piccolo. He then returned to Other World where he aided Gohan in his training with the Z Sword, resulting in the release of the Old Kai, who gave Gohan a power-up to help him defeat Buu. When Buu proved too much for Gohan, the Old Kai gave up his life to restore Goku's, then gave him his Potara Earrings so that he may fuse with Gohan to defeat Buu. Gohan was absorbed before Goku had the chance, but Vegeta returned from Other World in time to help him, resulting in the two using the Potara Earrings to fuse into Vegito.

The two fused warriors entered inside of Majin Buu, where they were forced to defuse by the differing physics of Buu. The two escaped, along with Piccolo, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks, only to find themselves facing the destruction of Earth and a new, more powerful Buu...

CURRENT WHEREABOUTS: Without means of fusion, Goku and Vegeta may be in it deep! Can the two pull together and defeat the new Kid Buu, or will it be hopeless without the power of Vegetto?

SPECIAL TECHNIQUES

• SPIRIT BOMB-- One of Goku's most powerful and favorite attacks, the Spirit Bomb is made out of the energy given off by all life on a planet, which will seek a target with evil energy. Unfortunatly, this attack takes a while to charge, and can only be used by one pure of heart.
• KAIO-KEN--Using this technique, Goku can temporarily boost his speed and strength. Unfortunatly, this may exhaust and/or damage him if used too often.
• KAMEHAMEA WAVE--Goku's trademark attack. The attacks strength depends on how much time is taken to charge it up (a weak attack can be charged quickly, a stronger attack takes more time).
• INSTANT TRANSMISSION--by turning himself into pure energy, Goku can teleport to anywhere instantly…well, not exactly. In order for it to work, he needs to be able to locate some one with a high energy level. Although they must be relatively close, he can go anywhere almost. By having King Kai tell them what direction they were in, Goku was able to teleport to the new Namek planet! 

BATTLES:

THE SAIYA-JIN SAGA

• TEAMED WITH PICCOLO VS. RADDITZ--It was during this battle that he died.
• VS. PRINCESS SNAKE--Okay, okay...it's not really a battle, but there was a fun little struggle. Goku escaped defeat from Princess Snake, who turned out to be...well, a snake. Rather than fighting her, Goku decided to just trick her into tying her into knots, choosing not to be rude enough to harm her after giving him such a nice meal.
• VS. NAPPA--Defeated Nappa upon return to Earth from King Kai's place.
• VS. VEGETA--First fought Vegeta after defeating Nappa. Vegeta transformed during battle and severely injured Goku. When Krillin arrived and saw Goku's injuries, he ended the fight by cutting off Vegeta's tail.

THE FRIEZA SAGA

• VS. JIECE, BURTER, AND RECOOME--Upon arrival on Planet Namek, Goku saved Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta from the Ginyu force. Burter and Recoome were defeated, but Jiece escaped.
• VS. CAPTAIN GINYU--Jiece returned with Capt. Ginyu following the defeat of Burter and Recoome. At the end, Ginyu severely injured himself, then switched bodies with Goku, leaving Goku in his own injured body.
• VS. POSSESSED GINYU/GOKU--Not much of a battle here, Goku/Ginyu only got off a few shots because he wasn't used to Ginyu's bulky body. When Ginyu/Goku tried to possess Vegeta, Goku/Ginyu reclaimed his own body, returning Ginyu to his own battered body. When Ginyu tried again, Goku threw a frog in his path, turning Ginyu into a frog (phew...that's more confusing than Trunks' timelines...).
• VS. FRIEZA (PRE SUPER SAIYA-JIN TRANSFORMATION)--This battle didn't go well for Goku as his power was relatively weak compared to Frieza. This part of the battle ended with Frieza surviving a spirit bomb and killing Krillin.
• VS. FRIEZA (POST SUPER SAIYA-JIN TRANSFORMATION)--This was a looooong fight. It ended with Goku apparently killing Frieza, and then he apparently perished when the planet exploded.

THE ANDROID SAGA

• VS. ANDROID 19--He was winning…until the heart virus kicked in. This was his only battle in the saga until Cell became perfect.
• VS. PERFECT CELL--Goku looked like he had it won when he put all his energy into one Kamehamea Wave, which blew off Cell's torso…but he didn't know about Cell's ability to regenerate. Goku then ended the fight and appointed Gohan to continue in his place. 

THE MAJIN BUU SAGA

• VS. THE GINYU SQUAD--While helping Pikkon in Hell, Goku took out the Ginyu Squad. However, Pikkon took care of Frieza, King Cold, and Cell.
• VS. CATOPEI--Goku fought this large caterpillar like creature in the Other World Tournament. Goku won by default when Catopei went into a coccon state, a process which would take 10,000 years.
• VS. AQUAR--Goku fought this incredibly weak water creature in the Other World Tournament. Goku almost lost when Aquar turned the ring into water, but a Kamehamea Wave solved that problem.
• VS. PIKKON--Goku fought Pikkon in the finals of the Other World Tournament. He almost was defeated by the Thunder Flash Attack, but countered by teleporting directly to Pikkon, though it was declared a double Ring-Out by the Grand Kai.
• VS. YAKON--Yakon was a monster Goku fought inside of Babbidi's ship who had the ability to eat light. Goku tricked him by transforming into a Super Saiya-Jin and feeding him too much energy.
• VS. MAJIN VEGETA--when Vegeta was possesed by Babbidi, Majin Vegeta refused to do the wizard's wishes until he was allowed to fight Goku. Goku was happy to agree, but lost when Vegeta tricked him into letting his guard down.
• VS. MAJIN BUU--while Trunks flew to Capsule Corp. hoping to recover the Dragon Radar, Goku unleashed Super Saiya-Jin 3 and stalled Buu, though he didn't actually attempt to beat him.
• VS. SUPER BUU--Goku fought Super Buu, alone, and later, with Vegeta, just before the fusion into Vegito.
• VS. GOHAN, PICCOLO, AND GOTENKS--Actually, they were mental guardians Evil Buu created while Goku and Vegeta were inside him. When he became distracted by food, they turned into food also, allowing Goku and Vegeta to escape.
