The Saiyans

Son Gokû

Vegeta

They are extra-terrestrials who look like human beings. They come from the planet Vegeta. Natural-born fighters and belliocose, they are at the center of Dragon Ball’s story. Their planet was destroyed by the monster Freeza (see part “the villains”). There are only two survivors: Son Gokû, the hero, and Vegeta, the prince of the Saiyans. They both live on the Earth now. In the beginning, Vegeta hated Son Gokû and always wanted to prove his superiority. In the beginning, Son Gokû was named Kakarot, and was sent on the Earth where he lost his memory and his violent behaviour. Both have founded a family and have children who are half human, which give them an even superior power. But these half-Saiyans don’t care much about fighting.
