Goku, the main protagonist of the "Dragon Ball" series, including "Dragon Ball Z," is one of the most iconic and enduring characters in the realm of anime and manga. Created by Akira Toriyama, Goku first appeared in "Dragon Ball," which was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1984 to 1995, with "Dragon Ball Z" being a continuation that delves deeper into his adventures and growth as a fighter and person.

Goku is characterized by his spiky black hair (which turns blond when he transforms into his Super Saiyan forms), his immense strength, a tail that reveals his Saiyan heritage (a warrior race from the fictional planet Vegeta), and his love for martial arts and competition. Notably humble and compassionate, Goku is driven by a desire to protect others and improve himself, rather than conquering or gaining power for its own sake.

Throughout the series, Goku goes through extensive training and faces numerous adversaries, both on Earth and from various parts of the universe. His most notable traits include his extraordinary fighting skills, ability to transform into increasingly powerful forms (like Super Saiyan 1, 2, 3, God, and Ultra Instinct), and his use of the Kamehameha wave—a concentrated blast of energy.

Goku's backstory is central to the series' plot: he was originally sent to Earth as an infant with the mission to conquer it. However, an accident alters his memory, leading him to become Earth's defender instead. Over time, Goku discovers his Saiyan origins and faces challenges from other Saiyans, extraterrestrial beings, androids, and magical creatures.

His relationships are key to the series, particularly his friendships with Krillin, Bulma, and other Z Fighters; his rivalry and eventual friendship with Vegeta; his marriage to Chi-Chi; and his role as a father to Gohan and Goten. Goku's character development, battles, and explorations of themes such as bravery, sacrifice, and redemption have made him a beloved character around the world, influencing not just manga and anime but wider pop culture as well.
