"I'm the Saiyan who came all the way from Earth for the sole purpose of beating you. I am the warrior you've heard of in legends, pure of heart, and awakened by fury. That's what I am. I AM THE SUPER SAIYAN, SON GOKU!"
— Goku confronts Frieza on Planet Namek

Son Goku (birth name: Kakarot) is a male Saiyan and the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball meta-series created by Akira Toriyama. Goku is a Saiyan originally sent to Earth as an infant with the mission to destroy it, but a childhood accident alters his memory and allows him to grow up to become Earth's greatest defender, as well as the informal leader of the Z-Fighters. Throughout his life, he constantly strives and trains to be the greatest warrior possible and to fight stronger opponents, which has kept the Earth and the universe safe from destruction many times.

Why He Rocks

  1. Goku is one of the most powerful characters in all of fiction.
  2. Since Goku is the main character of the series, we've seen lots of him.
  3. He is one the few characters we've seen grow from a boy into a man.
  4. He always finds a way to surpass his limits, from a new super transformation to a new ki move.
  5. Goku is a happy-go-lucky character, the kind of person who is friendly to everyone and everything (unless you're a villain, in which case you're good as dead).
  6. Goku is not perfect, he makes mistakes like every human. An example of this is his inability to drive a car.
  7. His strength and ability is enough to rival that of Superman.
  8. His brotherly relationship with the prince of all saiyans, Vegeta.
  9. He can adapt to any environment and train as long as he needs to.

Bad Qualities

  1. Goku is kind of dumb. This may be due to lack of a proper education and the head injury he suffered as a child.
  2. Due to wanting to fight everyone at his fullest, he inadvertently helps villains that literally want to destroy the planet.
