 character in the entire Dragon Ball series.Dragonball 
Z List Of Characters.

 
Goku
Goku is the hero of Dragonball Z.
He is a peaceful, good-natured, honest, trusting, and
 protective soul. He is also the most powerful warrior 
on Earth and the first to become a Super Saiyan in 
over 1000 years. Having honed his skills and 
strengthened his spirit to a level never achieved by 
any being on Earth, Goku is able to fly, shoot energy 
beams from his hands, move at incredible speeds and, 
when in a pinch, power-up to a fighting level so high
 it creates an energy aura around his body and makes 
him turn blond with green eyes... becoming in effect a
 walking nuclear war. Goku hasn't learned these skills
 just for fun, his life is forced down this path as he
 battles the evil Saiyans in the final battle to save 
the Earth. 
When the Saiyans arrive on Earth it is a shock in more
 ways than one. Goku finds out the mysterious secret 
of his own past: he is Saiyan formerly known as 
Kakarot who was sent to Earth as a baby with the 
mission to conquer the planet. Luckily for Earth a 
near fatal head injury "scrambles" his programming and
 instead of becoming a destructive super-warrior he 
becomes an innocent pure-of-heart defender of Earth. 
Goku was raised by a peaceful, wise old man named 
Gohan, after whom Goku later names his first son. Goku 
is always there to help his family and friends and he 
is very protective of them. If he has a weakness, it 
is his trusting nature. 

Goku has many powerful fighting techniques including 
the powerful Kamehameha Wave and the Kaio-ken which he
 learns from King Kai. His last and most powerful 
weapon is an immensely powerful energy ball which 
garners energy from all sources on the planet, 
concentrates it into one sphere, and then releases it 
in one mighty swoop. This ball can be used only once 
and must be guided carefully for it can destroy the 
planet if used inappropriately. 

On Namek Goku goes through alot of pain. While 
destroying the Ginyu Force Goku is badly hurt and is 
forced to get inside the Healing Tank on Frieza's 
Ship. After he is healed Goku goes all out by making a
 Super Spirit Bomb and almost killing Frieza but it 
did not. Frieza mad, almost kills Goku but Piccolo 
saves him and takes the bullet. Then Frieza blows 
Krillin into a billion pieces and Goku loses it. He 
becomes the Legendary Super Saiyan. And Frieza is no 
macth for him. 
 
Gohan
Gohan, Goku and Chi-Chi's son, was named after his 
adoptive grandfather.

Physically, he resembles a young Goku right down to 
the tail and the propensity to become an 
uncontrollable raging Giant Monkey, while spiritually,
 he is good and pure of heart as well. Because of his 
protective mother, Gohan starts out as a wimp, but 
when the Earth is threatened, he reveals his 
tremendous potential as a fighter and uncontrollably 
"powers up" in order to rescue his father from a 
desperate situation. Because of this he is forced into
 training in preperation for the arrival of the 
Saiyans. Gohan's training is at the hands of Piccolo 
because his father is learning the fighting expertise 
of King Kai. 
Piccolo and Gohan develop a special bond, which causes
 Piccolo to step in front of Nappa's mighty blast to 
save Gohan's life. Gohan's loss of nerve in the battle
 against the Saiyans cost all his friends dearly. But 
he is determined to make up for his cowardice by 
traveling to the planet Namek to find the Namekian 
Dragon Balls and wish his friends back to life. 

Gohan's tremedous power is accounted for by the 
incredible mix between Earthing and Saiyan, which 
produces an even stronger being than either Human or 
Saiyan alone. Even though Gohan becomes the most 
powerful non-fused character, he never attains the 
love of fighting that Goku has. 

While the planet Namek Gohan is knocked out by Recoome 
of the Ginyu Force. But his father comes to save the 
day. While fighting with Frieza Gohan go at it No 
Holds Bar when Krillin is stabbed through the chest by
 Frieza. Gohan's Saiyan power is amazing he is even 
stronger than Vegeta at point while fighting Frieza. 
But all is lost in vain. Gohan doesn't stand a chance 
against Frieza and is almost near death also. 

 
Piccolo

Piccolo, Goku's onetime arch enemy is the second 
strongest being on Earth.

He wears an extremely heavy cape as constant training
 for his muscles. He is renowned for his powerful 
energy blasts as well as his ability to split into two
 or four seperate entities. Green like a lizard, 
Piccolo has the ability to regenerate any limbs that 
he may lose in battle. This comes in handy more than 
once. 

Piccolo is a native of the planet Namek. He was reborn
 from an older, evil Piccolo, who in his last moments 
of life spat out an egg, which then hatched into this 
"new" Piccolo. He starts out fighting against Goku to 
rule the world, but when the Saiyans arrive Piccolo is
forced to join forces with Goku and the others 
todefeat a greater more powerful evil. 
At first the alliance with Goku is uneasy, but as the 
story unfolds, their bond becomes stronger. Piccolo 
even steps in to train Goku's son Gohan for the 
upcoming battle against the Saiyans. Piccolo is 
confused by the bond he sees with Gohan and by his own
 actions. Is he training an opponent who is stronger 
than him, and why does he risk his life to save 
Gohan's? Gohan sees the good within Piccolo and their 
relationship brings this good out of Piccolo. In the 
showdown with Vegeta and Nappa, Piccolo saves Gohan's 
life by jumping in from of an energy blast targeted at
 Gohan. 

And while in another dimension he trains with King Kai 
until he can be wished back by Gohan. While on Namek 
Piccolo fuses with Nail to become the Ultimate Namek. 
He takes on Frieza but is no macth he is hurt pretty 
bad. And he is also almost killed by saving Goku's 
life by taking the hit. 

 
Krillin

Krillin has been Goku's best friend since they studied
 martial arts together under Master Roshi as kids. 
Krillin provides comic relief in tense situations as 
he tries to keep up with Goku and some of the other 
more powerful warriors. But don't get the idea that 
he's a helpless buffoon. A good fighter on his own 
accord, he's always there to help Goku. He can and has 
saved his friend's life more than once. In fact, 
Krillin unleashes an incredibly powerful energy blast 
shaped like a flying disc that literally slices 
through mountaintops. 

Krillin is incredibly dedicated to his friends, 
especially Goku, and holds friendship in high value. 
He is willing to fight against the Saibamen and 
Saiyans even though he doesn't want to die. Goku 
encourages Krillin to have confidence in his own 
abilities as Krillin learns to be a remarkable fighter
 -- that is, for an Earthling.. 

Krillin volunteers to be one of the crew going to 
Namek to gather the Namekian Dragon Balls. On this 
journey he once again gets to prove his loyalty, 
courage, and fighting skills. His power is enhanced 
even further by the eldest Namekian, Guru, when he 
awakens the sleeping power within Krillin. He will 
need every ounce of this power he has to fight against
 the evil forces assembled on Namek. While fighting 
Frieza, Krillin gets stabbed right through the chest 
and almost dies. Blood is everywhere and Dende heals 
him. But short after when Goku is revied and think 
they killed Frieza they didn't and Frieza blows 
Krillin in to about a million pieces. 

 
Vegeta

Vegeta travels to Namek in search of the Dragon Balls
 with the wish for immortality. Discovering he cannot 
defeat the Ginyu Force alone, he fights with Gohan and
 Krillin. After Goku defeats the Ginyu's Recoome, 
Burta & Jeice, Vegeta gets the Kills. Vegeta puts Goku
 in the Healing Tank hoping to recover him ASAP. While
 he is alsleep Gohan & Krillin summon the Dragon and 
Vegeta awakes to see a huge Dragon. He rushes to the 
Dragon to be imortal but the Eldest Namek dies before 
he can Grant it and the Dragonballs are turned into 
stone. While fighting with Frieza, Vegeta knows he 
cannot beat him so he has Krillin blast him, While 
Dende refuses to Heal him Vegeta loses it and falls a 
sleep. Piccolo forces Dende to Heal Vegeta becuase 
they will need his help. Vegeta is raged at Dende and 
throws him telling Dende he almost killed him. While 
the next round Vegeta powers up against Frieza and 
goes all out and just gives up. Frieza then grabs 
Vegeta by the neck beating him senseless. When Goku 
arrives Vegeta tells Frieza that he, Goku. Is the one 
that Frieza fears. He is the Super Saiyan. Frieza 
kills Vegeta by blasting him through the heart. While 
Vegeta still has some power left he tells Goku that 
Frieza is the one who destroyed thier planet, he is 
the one who killed Goku's father. Vegeta was even 
crying because he was helpless against the Evil Frieza
