  Piccolo
is Goku's old rival. He was born after Goku
killed his father when he was a kid (accidentally
by turning into the monstrous ape in the full
moon); in his last breath the old Piccolo spat
out an egg, and the new Piccolo hatched. Sick
huh. That is one of the things rumored to how
Piccolo was made but the true reason how it
happened was that Kame was trying to get rid of
all the evil in his spirit. Unfortunately he did
thusforth creating Piccolo. Piccolo then went on
to fight Goku in the final round of the
Tenkaichi-Budokai, which he subsequently lost by
a very close margin. Piccolo is a native of the
planet Nameck, although he doesn't learn this for
quite some time after his first appearance. As a
Nameck, he can regenerate almost any part of his
body lost. (usually the arms) He can also extend
the range of his arms till they're really long.
Later, he goes to Nameck to help Krillan, Goku,
Gohan, and Vegeta fight Freeza after the
Tenkaichi-Budokai, Piccolo becomes more and more
of a "good guy." Eventually he becomes
Goku's friend. Once one of the most powerful
characters in the series, he can be considered a
"high class fighter," and strong among
the Z fighters. Although he acts like he doesn't
care about anyone it is very untrue. Gohan taught
him how to have emotions. Piccolo always
challenges Goku early in the series but they
eventually become friends.
