List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball

The powerful Indian who lives at the base of Karin Tower with his son Upa. Bora is just like his name sounds. He's muscular, tall and a man of few words. He fends off Colonel Yellow's men by himself, but he's later speared by T'ao Pai-pai and killed. When Shenlong is summoned next, Son Gokū's wish is that Bora be brought back to life. Bora is seen with his son in the last couple episodes of DBZ when he gives energy to Gokū for his Genki Dama. Bora is an example of the noble savage.

Bulma Template:Appears in:DB, DBZ, DBGT

A brilliant inventor and the mother of Vegeta's children, Trunks and Bra. Bulma started Son Gokū on the original quest for the DBs and is the ex-girlfriend of Yamcha.

Bulma's Mother Template:Appears in:DB, DBZ

She is Bulma's mother and the wife of Dr. Brief. A certified ditz, she is always interested in flirting with Son Gokū and Vegeta. In the anime, she makes a suggestive comment that she would like to go on a date with Vegeta. Not much is known about her, but in the anime she's characterised as the stereotypical blonde air-head who loves shopping and eating expensive cakes. Probably the most disturbing feature of this woman is the fact that, as far as physical appearances go, she looks at least as young as her daughter, and unlike Bulma, she doesn’t appear to age at all throughout DBZ. Her first name is unknown, but according to most people her name is Bunny. Friendly and talkative, Mrs. Brief is seen mostly at home. She loves to have company and entertain guests. And she only opens her eyes once in the entire series. Mrs. Brief isn't much of a character, but she's a painfully good-natured woman, always ready to serve guests tea and cakes. She seems to be unaware of the danger that is usually happening. During the Majin Buu Saga, she and her husband are targeted at Capsule Corp. by Buu after someone informs Babidi where Trunks lives. This is the first and only time Trunks refers to her as "grandma" in the series.

Chi-Chi Template:Appears in:DB, DBZ, DBGT

Dr. Brief Template:Appears in:DB, DBZ

The father of Bulma, Dr. Brief is a grey-haired, brilliant scientist and one of the smartest men in the world. Dr. Brief is the founder of Capsule Corporation and the man responsible for the invention of the Hoi-Poi Capsules, which can shrink inanimate objects down to pocket sized capsule of namesake. Dr. Brief rarely leaves his home, and he can often be found tinkering on a number of complicated gadgets while surrounded by his beloved pets. He and Bulma fixed Jinzō'ningen #16 during the Cell Saga, showing off their technical know-how. Usually Dr. Brief is seen with a cat on his shoulder and a cigarette in his mouth (unless it has been edited out). As Bulma's father, it is his knack for hi-tech wizardry that has been passed on to her.

Grandpa Son Gohan Template:Appears in:DB

File:Grandpa Gohan with Son Goku.jpg

Grandpa Son Gohan with a baby Son Gokū

(FUNimation's dub: Grandfather Gohan)

The adoptive father of Son Gokū who found him in a space ship when Gokū was a baby. Grandpa Son Gohan was taught martial arts by the Kame-Sen'nin, Muten-Rōshi and passed on his knowledge to Gokū. According to a flashback Gokū had when he saw Vegeta transform, Gohan warns him to never look at a full moon and to stay indoors on nights of one - implying that he had already transformed before and Gohan managed to survive the first time. He followed his advice for sometime until one night (as Gokū himself explained to Bulma, Yamcha, Pu'er and Oolong while they were held in prison at Pilaf's castle) when Gokū stepped outside to relieve himself; he then glanced at it, transformed and killed Gohan by stomping on him. After seeing Vegeta transform into an Ōzaru in the Saiyan Saga, Gokū relizes the truth of what happened to Gohan (the dub version mistranslates this scene and Gokū believes Vegeta killed his Grandfather, but the FUNimation redub corrects this mistake). From that time on, Gokū believed that Gohan's soul was in the Si Xing Qiu (Sūshinchū / Four-Star Ball).

In Dragon Ball, Gohan comes back from Heaven to fight Gokū as Uranai Baba'a last fighter.

He was once friends with Muten-Rōshi, however when they were defeated by the forces of the Piccolo Daimaō and their mentor died after sealing him away, bitterness began to grow in his heart and he turned away from his old teachings and began a school where his hatred of the world began to spread to his pupils.

Red Ribbon Army Characters

For more on Red Ribbon associates and rank, see the Red Ribbon Army family tree.

Captain Violet Template:Appears in:DB

The only female high ranking officer in the Red Ribbon Army. She's only seen briefly, and simply gives Commander Red the Wu Xing Qiu (Ūshinchū / Five-Star Ball) which her team located. Apparently one of the few officers who survived Son Gokū's crusade on the Red Ribbon Army. The anime expands on her character a bit as being very caring to animals and not having much respect for the RR army as she quickly abandons it when Gokū attacks. Also seems to be a little greedy as Violet stole as much money as she could before escaping.

Commander Red Template:Appears in:DB

The leader of the infamous Red Ribbon Army. He is of switz nationality. He wishes to have the DBs to grant his greatest wish, and thousands upon thousands of men join his army when they produce images of world power and the such, however, in the last episodes of the Red Ribbon Saga, Red reveals to his servant, Ajutant Black, that he was going to wish to be taller, (the guy's a midget). Black is stunned by the news and shoots Red in the forehead out of contempt.

Weirdly enough, Commander Red and Ajutant Black look-a-likes appeared in an episode of the Great Saiyaman arc as movie directors.

Colonel Silver Template:Appears in:DB

The first member of the Red Ribbon Army that Son Gokū encounters and battles. By normal means he's a good fighter, but Gokū takes him out in no time. He isn't killed by Gokū though, only KO'ed. Last heard of him in the manga was him reporting to Red he failed and Red declaring him a dead man. In the anime, hes discharged for his failure and walks out on the RR. One of the few who does so and lives.

Dr. Frappe Template:Appears in:DB

(FUNimation's dub: Flappe)

The great inventor Dr. Frappe resides on the outskirts of Jingle Village. He lives on an isolated mountaintop in order to conduct his scientific experiments undisturbed. Sno, Son Gokū, and 8-chan pay a visit to the Doctor hoping that his expertise will help 8-chan. Dr. Frappe greets his visitors warmly, but his hospitality may conceal darker intentions. Dr. Frappe is a non-canonical character who only appears in the anime. He was an attempt of Toei Animation to explain the creation of he jinzō'ningen that appear in early DB, since Akira Toriyama had not yet concieved the character Dr. Gero until after the Freeza Saga. For those who may still include him in the plotline, it can easily be presumed that Frappe originally worked with Gero as one of his employees in the building of 8-chan.

General Blue Template:Appears in:DB

The leader of the Blue Corps., General Blue is the strongest officer in the Red Ribbon Army. He also has powerful psychic abilities. He is of German origin and nationality. Also, he is homosexual. He trails Son Gokū and company into the pirate's cave, and almost kills Kuririn and Gokū. Luckily for them, he's deathly afraid of mice, and loses his concentration when he is startled by one. Gokū knocks him out afterwords. He somehow survives the collapse of the pirate's lair, and trails our heroes to the Kame House, where he is successful in stealing the dragon radar and DBs. Gokū catches up with him in Penguin Village, and Arale-chan helps him defeat the General. Although successful in stealing the radar, he fails to get Gokū's DBs, which ultimately costs him his life. Commander Red gives him a chance to redeem himself by fighting T'ao Pai-pai, the merciless assassin. T'ao Pai-pai easily kills Blue, using nothing but his tongue.

General White Template:Appears in:DB

In charge of Muscle Tower, he commands 8-chan, Sergeant Matallic, Musaraki, and Buyon. White is of Russian nationality. He had a DB that Son Gokū wanted, and, he also hurt many people in the village outside of the Tower. Gokū didn't like that, so he went to go fight him. After Gokū had defeated every person in the tower, he went after White. White had the mayor held captive and threatened to kill the mayor if need be. Gokū didn't move one bit, but he was the one that got shot anyway. After Gokū fell, White tried to fire again, but 8-chan blocked it. 8-chan went into a rage and charged White. He then blew White out of the tower, sending him to a snowy grave.

Husky Template:Appears in:DB

(FUNimation's dub: Hasky)

Lieutenant Captain DarkTemplate:Appears in:DB

Muten Rōshi takes out his entire squadron when they confront him on his small island. When the message of their defeat is relayed, General Blue is surprised to hear that the whole company was wiped out.

Ninja Murasaki Template:Appears in:DB

The deadly ninja of a thousand techniques who works under the command of General White in Muscle Tower. Murasaki is of Japanese origin. Son Gokū's fight with Murasaki is classic. It mixes classic ninja techniques, with Gokū's kooky style of repelling them, (such as pouring boiling water down a reed Murasaki uses to breathe with under-water). Murasaki is simply punched out by Gokū in the manga, but in the anime, he gets blown up by the bomb from 8-chan's body. His extended full name is Sergeant Major Ninja Purple Murasaki.

Ajutant Black Template:Appears in:DB

(FUNimation's dub: Staff Officer Black) Ajutant Black is Commander Red's servant. He is of African American origin. He obeys just about everything he's told to do, until he finds out Red's true ambition, at which point he shoots Red and takes over the Red Ribbon Army. He finds himself in a battle against Son Gokū in the RR's top secret weapon, the Battle Jacket. Gokū kills Black by propelling himself straight through the robotic armor, causing it to explode.

T'ao Pai-pai Template:Appears in:DB, DBZ

T'ao Pai-pai is responsible for the death of General Blue, whom he kills with only his tongue. He is sent by the Red Ribbon Army to kill Son Gokū and retrieve the DBs, but Goku defeats him, seemingly killing T'ao Pai-pai with his own grenade.

File:Cyborg Tao Pai Pai.jpg

Cyborg T'ao Pai-pai

However, T'ao Pai-pai is rebuilt as a cyborg by his older brother, and competes in the 23rd Tenka-ichi Budōkai, brutally defeating Chiao-tzu. He is beaten by Tenshinhan in the next fight.

In the anime, T'ao Pai-pai makes a later appearance in DBZ during the Cell Saga as a henchman for a rich gangster who has hired him to gather the DBs so he may wish for immortality to protect himself from Cell. Gokū shows up to gather the two T'ao Pai-pai has collected, but Gokū is disappointed at himself for having nothing to offer T'ao Pai-pai in return. T'ao Pai-pai then poses a challenge to Gokū: If Goku can disassemble three complex puzzle rings by dawn the following day, then he will be awarded the DBs. If he cannot, however, Gokū must surrender the ones he has with him. T'ao Pai-pai then offers to take Gokū's shirt (which contained Gokū's gathered DBs) while Gokū works on the puzzles, and while Gokū was distracted with the puzzle rings, T'ao Pai-pai steals Gokū's DBs and drove far away throughout the night with the gangsters. After Gokū solves the puzzle rings, he simple uses his "Instant Movement" to find T'ao Pai-pai and the gangsters. The naive Gokū was unaware there was any ill-will on the part of T'ao Pai-pai, and is given the DBs without any resistance.

T'ao Pai-pai has been known by a number of names in the various English versions of the series. He is called "General Tao Pei" in the abortive late-1980's Dragon Ball anime dub by Harmony Gold, "Taopaipai" (all one word) in the Viz adaptation of the manga, "General Tao" in the FUNimation dub of Dragon Ball Z, and "Mercenary Tao" in FUNimation's later dub of the Dragon Ball anime.

Maron

Maron first appears in the Garlic Jr. arc as Kuririn's girlfriend. She is very ditsy (always calling Kuririn "Kurin"), uncommitted, and out-spoken, referring to Chi-Chi and Bulma as old ladies which frustrated and angered them. She looks similar to Bulma and many people confuse the two, but both have very different traits, most notably Maron's figure being slightly curvier and Bulma being a staple character to the series, as opposed to Maron only being around for one arc and making a single appearance in the Cell Saga.

Humans From the Tenka-ichi Budōkai

Announcer Template:Appears in:DB, DBZ, DBGT

The man who hosts every Tenka-ichi Budōkai from the beginning of DB to DBGT. He mainly just commentates on the matches, but over the years he has got to know the Z Warriors, and knows that they are responsible for saving the earth. He even says so in one episode that Son Gokū killed Cell (although it was really Gohan). He doubts Mr. Satan's abilities, such as in the episode Vegeta goes out of control. In every budōkai something bad happens that enhances his role: in the Piccolo Daimaō Saga he is beaten up after witnessing Kuririn being killed and later he becomes very important as he witnesses Gokū's fight with Piccolo (Ma Jr.) from the sidelines with the others. At the end of the DBZ series, he starts to lose his hair and looks very old. But in DBGT his hair remains blonde and he does not seemed to have aged since.

Kuririn almost loses to him, until Son Gokū reminds Kuririn that he's just imagining the smell because he doesn't have a nose. Which Kuririn quickly remembers and beats Bacterian almost instantly.
