Goku is the main protagonist of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT
Origin
Baby Kakarot (Goku) was born while his father, Bardock, and his warrior team were on a mission to conquer planet Kanassa and kill all of its inhabitants. Kakarot was a very weak baby, compared to the norm for the Saiyan race, so he was sent to a planet with weak inhabitants (Earth) to exterminate all the life there.This was done because Saiyan warriors are needed for harder missions. So they use their children Saiyans to exterminate their unworthy opponents.
Youth
Kakarot was found by an old man named Gohan in a small space pod. Gohan tried to raise the young boy, but Kakarot was extremely hostile and strong by human standards. During a trip one day, the young boy fell down a deep ravine and bashed his head. The permanent amnesia from this fall prevented the young boy from completing his initial mission. He was named Son Goku by Gohan.
He had amazing strength, speed, and loved fighting so Gohan trained him in the ways of Martial Arts. Young Goku even had a tail which resembled a monkey's tail. This tail would allow him to turn into a huge Ape called an Oozaru at the sight of the full moon but Goku had no memories of anytime he has ever transformed and was completely unaware of this until later told by Vegeta.
After Gohan's death, Goku lived by himself for a while and later went about the world traveling with Bulma Briefs to search for the mystic Dragon Balls and met Master Roshi, the Turtle Hermit, Yamcha, the desert bandit and his shape shifting cat companion Puar, and Oolong, a shape shifting pig.
After finding the Dragon Balls and losing their wish to Oolong, Goku decided to train with the venerable old Master Roshi. Roshi began to train Goku and Krillin in the ways of the Turtle Hermit and taught them the legendary energy blast: The Kamehameha. Goku entered the World Martial Arts Tournament to only be defeated by Master Roshi's alias Jackie Chun.
After the World Martial Arts Tournament, Goku traveled around the world to find the Dragon Balls, defeating the entire Red Ribbon army in the process, a feat which was considered impressive by all of his friends.
After defeating the Red Ribbon Army and finding the last Dragon Ball, Goku once again entered the World Martial Arts Tournament, only to lose to Tien Shinhan by a fluke, as they were both thrown into the air, and Goku technically hit the ground first, as he fell onto a moving car before Tien hit the ground.
His other great accomplishment was defeating the evil King Piccolo.
Adult Life
As an adult, he married a woman named Chi-Chi and had a son named Gohan.
Goku led a relatively peaceful life until Raditz landed on the planet Earth, Raditz revealed himself to be Goku's older brother and told Goku of his orginal mission on earth, Goku refused to join Raditz in the extermination of Earth's citizens and they fought.
As an incentive to fight him and reveal his true Saiyan roots, he took Goku's young son Gohan and decided that if Goku wouldn't fight for him and destroy Earth, maybe he could turn this little half Saiyan kid to do it instead. that didn't go well with Goku or Chi-Chi at all, and so Goku set off to defeat Raditz, but, knowing he couldn't do it on his own, requested his old enemy, Piccolo to help him fight him. Piccolo wasn't too excited about it, but he decided that if killing this Radtiz guy would give him another shot at Goku, he'd do it with pleasure.
Goku and Piccolo fought side by side in an attempt to defeat Raditz but could only do so by Goku giving his life to hold Raditz still while Piccolo used his Special Beam Cannon to defeat him.
After death, Goku was allowed to keep his physical body and chose to travel to King Kai to train under him. King Kai's planet had many times earth's gravity and helped Goku to become stronger. Goku left King Kai's in time to defeat the Saiyan warriors, Vegeta and Nappa, who had landed on the planet in search of the Dragon Balls to wish for immortality. Vegeta and Nappa took their time and killed most of Goku's friends while Goku was hurrying to the battle site. They took the lives of Tien Shinhan, Piccolo, Yamcha and Chiaotzu.
Freeza was already on this planet searching for the Dragon Balls himself. Goku defeated Freeza's special Corps the Ginyu Force and went on to fight Freeza. Goku was vastly inferior to Freeza but they fought and when Freeza decided to kill Krillin, Goku's best friend, for fun Goku had reached the limit and became a Super Saiyan, the first in about 1000 years.
After this, the fight on Namek was clearly very one sided, as Goku continued to thrash Freeza across the planet. It was then that Freeza decided to unleash another form, where he became even more powerful, and, rather than just changing into a whole other body type like before, he simply made his muscle mass increase. He thought that he'd still be able to take over the fight, but Goku continued to soundly beat him with his clearly superior power. It was this form that Freeza realized he had been afraid of his entire life since destroying Goku's planet, and had realized that his fate was to lose. Seeing no other option, he sent a blast down to the core of planet Namek, knowing full-well that it would destroy the planet in a matter of minutes. Five, in fact. It was here that Goku knew he couldn't save all of his friends from the explosion. He knew, however, that since his friends had already wished everyone back onto Earth with the Dragon Balls from Namek, that he could fight to the end, truly, on Namek with Freeza. That is, if you could call the fight he was in a fight. He was having near no trouble with Freeza at all. After his enemy had shown his true colors, a coward, he decided to leave him there for dead. But Freeza, knowing the weakness that Goku had for being so kind to his enemies, asked him for some of his energy, which he planned to kill Goku with, so at least, he thought, they would both die. Goku, being so kind-hearted by nature, handed over, slightly hesitantly, some of his energy. Just enough for Freeza to survive. he hoped that he would be able to see the error in his ways. Goku, flying away, was wrong. The split in half Frieza (ironically he split himself in half with his own energy disk) sent the energy Goku handed him straight back at him.
"HAAA!!" Freeza screamed in his raspy, almost feminine voice.
Goku only replied to the energy by telling Frieza he was truly a fool, and redirected it, possibly killing him in the process as the planet blew up.
After the defeat of Freeza, it was a wildly held view that Goku was killed on Namek along with Freeza. But, one day, the Z-fighters and Vegeta felt Freeza's power level approaching Earth. As the fighters approached, Freeza, newly rebuilt, and his father King Cold touched down, planning to destroy Earth. Everyone was worried that the planet was doomed since Goku wasn't around to be the savior.
But a mysterious young man comes to confront them first. Both Freeza and Cold are clearly outmatched by the young Super Saiyan and are defeated in a matter of seconds.
The young man then goes to the Z-Fighters and tells them that Goku would land on Earth soon. Goku did land, with a new technique under his belt: Instant Transmission. The youth is Future Trunks, and says that the androids will be here in three years. He gives Goku heart medicine, claiming that he died in another time line and this would save his life. They all go their separate ways and start their training. Goku trains with his son Gohan in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for quite a while. This was where Goku and Gohan learned how to maintain their Super Saiyan limits, and where Gohan learned how to manipulate his Saiyan strength. This was also how Goku and Gohan became able to hold themselves in these forms for elongated periods of time.
After Goku and Gohan got out of their training time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, they decided that, since they still had much time left, they would just stay and relax until the tournament that the evil Cell had set up began. Goku knew that he did not have enough power to defeat Cell in this state, and he had also figured out (before Vegeta had, unfortunately, which was why Cell attained his final form, because Vegeta had become to cocky in his new Super Saiyan form, and was thus defeated by Final form Cell. After this, Cell decided that he would form his own tournament to fight all of the most powerful warriors in the world, which seemed to be an excuse to fight and beat Goku. And it was.
Goku had known since Gohan was a child that his strength comes from his anger. He was intending to wear down Cell enough so that Gohan could finish him. Cell starts to self destruct. Goku quickly uses the instant transmission to teleport himself and Cell to King Kai's planet. He sacrifices himself so that Earth is safe, but Cell was able to regenerate. It was up to Gohan to defeat him and that he did. When they gathered the Dragon Balls to wish everyone back to life Goku tells them that he thinks the world would be safer if he stayed dead.
Low and behold it is not until Goku gets a day to walk among the living that Babidi comes and resurrects Majin Buu. Earlier that day Goku had met all of his best friends, like Krillin and Vegeta, along with his sons Gohan and Goten, who he'd never met before. During the World Martial Arts Tournament, two fighters with an M insignia on their foreheads stole some of Gohan's power and fled. Goku and the others followed them to Babidi's ship. After the fighters gave Babidi the power they had stolen they were immediately killed. Goku, Vegeta, and the Supreme Kai went into Babidi's ship where they faced a few trials of combat. Goku fought a creature that came from the darkest corner of the universe. The creature had the ability to absorb light energy. Once Goku realized this, he powered up and let the demon absorb his power until he exploded. Vegeta was secretly trying to get Babidi to see that he was evil so he would increase his power. Babidi noticed and did so. Babidi transported them to the World Martial Arts Tournament where Vegeta proved he was truly evil by blowing up part of the arena in an attempt to gode Goku into a fight. Goku asked Babidi to transport them to a place away from people to fight Vegeta. He transported them to the mountains. Goku and Vegeta went blow for blow until they realized that Majin Buu had been released, then Goku tried to persuade Vegeta to partner up so they could defeat Majin Buu. Vegeta agreed but when Goku went to grab some sensu beans, Vegeta knocked him out. Vegeta gave his life trying to defeat Majin Buu, but afterwards when Goku awoke he had to go back to the afterlife because his 24 hours were up. Gohan would later be trained by the Supreme Kai and would remove an ancient sword of power that released an elder Kai. The elder Kai would later exchange his life for Goku's afterlife so Goku could go to Earth and find someone to use the Supreme Kai's fusing earrings to permanently bond with. Goku fused with Vegeta after his resurrection, becoming Vegito. In the end Goku used his Spirit Bomb to defeat Majin Buu's original form (Kid Buu). Before Kid Buu's defeat, Goku asked that Kid Buu be resurrected later in life so Goku would have the chance to fight him again. Years later Buu was resurrected as a boy named Uub, and at a martial arts tournament Goku tried antagonizing Uub into releasing his hidden power. Goku would soon stop the fight and take Uub off to train.
Powers
Goku possesses all the physical attributes of a Saiyan which includes superhuman physical strength, superhuman speed, superhuman durability and more. His powers include:
Superhuman Strength: Goku possesses vast superhuman physical strength with no known limit. His strength has allowed while he was in his Super Saiyan form to move at incredible speeds with 40 tons of weight on his body as 10 tons where attached to each limb, while in Super Saiyan 4 he exerted sufficient superhuman strength to lift a city and rip off a street intersection, he was able to easily break a glass-like substance that was dubbed as being unbreakable and was bullet proof with no effort whatsoever by simply poking the glass and as a child he was able to easily push a gigantic rock that weighed over 2 tons. Goku has been seen smashing large rock formations and breaking through cliffs by delivering devastating punches. Given his feats of physical strength Goku's physical strength should allow him to lift in the excess of 100 tons however there is no known limit to his strength. Goku's physical strength however is constantly inconsistent as at times he is able to lift extremely large objects and there are other times where he is barely able to rip out a street intersection whilst using his full strength. One can theoretically deduce his physical strength as a Super Saiyan, when Goku was training with King Kai in his planet after the Cell Games he was barely able to move with 10 tons attached to each one of his limbs which is 40 tons in total however when he transformed into a Super Saiyan the task became far too easy for him, now the Super Saiyan form multiplies the user's powers by 50 ergo Goku as a Super Saiyan should be able to barely move with 2,000 tons of weight on his body because 50 x 40= 2000, now this is a theory and it is quite possible that Goku does possess this strength as a Super Saiyan. It is unknown how much the user's power is multiplied by the next transformations after the Super Saiyan form so the exact level of physical strength Goku would have as a Super Saiyan 2, 3 or 4 is unknown.
Superhuman Durability: Goku's Saiyan physiology grants him great superhuman durability to an unknown degree and while in his Super Saiyan form he has been shown to easily withstand high caliber being fired by a machine gun at nearly blank point range and was unharmed and sustained no visible physical damage as he even smiled, Goku has been punched through large rock formations and blasted through mountains and was shown to be physically unharmed however his clothes were torn, in his base form he was able to withstand being immersed in lava and emerged physically unharmed and his greatest feat of durability was during his battle against Nuova Shenron while he was in his Super Saiyan 4 form he withstood Nuova Shenron reaching the temperature of the Sun without as much as showing any sign of physical disturbance. He has survived blows from extremely powerful beings such as Omega Shenron and managed to hold his own against a vicious reality warper named Janemba. However Goku is not invulnerable to physical damage and has been harmed by every opponent he has ever fought in the entire Dragon Ball Universe but his durability and power increase every time he survives battles.
Superhuman Speed: Goku also possesses superhuman speed which has allowed him to move at speeds most people cannot see and has on several occasions fought too fast for the human eye to properly view or view at all. Goku reacts and moves at superhuman speeds as he was shown to be fast enough to dodge lightning fast punches and kicks that most people would not be able to see and he has flown over supersonic speeds. Goku's top speed without reaching Instant Transmission is well over the speed of sound and while using Instant Transmission he dematerializes into a mass of light and arguably travels at the speed of light.
Energy Manipulation: Like all Saiyans, Goku has the natural ability to manipulate energy for various purposes such as energy blasts, energy balls, scattered arrays of energy bolts, energy waves, energy shields and more. Goku due to intense training has learned how to manipulate ki energy (a reference to qi in Chinese culture) and is able to launch earth shattering energy attacks with his energy powers. He can channel energy (preferably ki) through his body to further increase his physical attributes, he can manipulate ki energy to deliver energy enhanced strikes and can increase his power by gathering the ki energy in his environment as the ki appears around his body as a bright yellow or golden flame-like aura and it should be noted that when Goku powers up he is rapidly shifting the energy inside him as well and not just gathering the ki around him. Goku's energy manipulative powers are great enough to destroy the Moon with a kamehameha wave as even Master Roshi did so who is much weaker than Goku and even Cooler who was being overwhelmed and overpowered by Goku's kamehameha that was aimed at the Sun said that Goku would have destroyed the Sun if he did not hold back and it should be noted that Goku was an untrained Super Saiyan at the time and did not know how to transform into a Super Saiyan at will even furthering the question of how powerful his energy powers are currently as he is a Super Saiyan 4.
Telepathy: It has been noted that Saiyans have telepathy as Goku has been shown talking to other beings through means of telepathy such as King Kai. Goku however has only shown telepathy is a form of communication and has never displayed any form of mind attack.
Telekinesis: It has been observed that when Goku and some other DBZ characters are powering up, large debris of rock that seemingly weigh tons levitate around them showcasing their telekinesis and Goku's telekinesis is able to lift and move objects weighing several tons.
Force Fields: Goku is able to manipulate some form of invisible energy to create very strong force fields able to withstand explosive attacks.
Teleportation: Goku is able to seemingly teleport through means of Instant Transmission however as it appears to be telepathy Goku actually dematerializes as a mass of light and travels outside the dimension of time at the speed of light.
Immortal: Goku is currently immortal and cannot be killed through conventional means and cannot die of old age.
Energy Sensing: Goku is able to sense a being's ki and can follow the energy signature of any being's ki and locate them, with that ability he is able to make out whether the being is nearby or far away and he is even able to sense the remnants of a being's energy attack and track down it as the being's energy is the same energy as the one that Goku senses in a being.
Superhuman Stamina: Goku's Saiyan physiology grants his body superhuman stamina and he is able to physically exert himself in intense physical activities for several days before his body's production of fatigue poisons begins to impale him and gradually tire him. However through training Goku is able to dramatically increase his stamina.
Superhuman Agility: Goku's Saiyan physiology grants Goku superhuman stamina, bodily coordination and balance and he is able to perform intense and swift acrobatic movements that even the finest human athlete is unable to do. Goku has shown incredible fighting agility as he dodges lightning fast attacks with aerobatic movements.
Flight: Goku like all Saiyans is able to fly and is able to fly through the Earth's atmosphere withstanding its terrible temperatures and intense pressures without fazing, he has complete mastery over his flight as he can levitate, hover, perform aerobatic flight movements and is able spin around during flight while maintaining balance and proper flight.
Super Eating: Goku has the ability to consume massive amounts of food able to finish an entire dinner table fit for a king and eats enormous meals and still claiming to be hungry this however is a natural Saiyan ability as both Vegeta and Gohan display this large appetite and it is rather due to actual hunger than lust for food however Goku does eat more than Vegeta and Gohan however in Yo! Son Goku and his friends Return!! he and Vegeta engage in a fight because the latter seemingly stole the latter's food. Goku like all Saiyans eat enormously to replenish his energy.
Hand to Hand Combat: Goku is a master of hand to hand combat and has mastered several martial arts such as Shaolin Kung Fu, Pressure Points and more and has combined some of his knowledge on martial arts to create his own unique style. Goku prefers to observe his opponents fighting style and creates counters for virtually every maneuver and learns from his mistakes in battle and can even copy his opponent's moves. Goku has also trained in extraterrestrial world where he learns martial arts from other planets and has possibly if not mastered some.
Transformations
Ultra Super Saiyan: This form like the Ascended Super Saiyan form is achieved by Goku in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber during his training period with Gohan. This form grants Goku phenomenal strength far surpassing that of Cell however the form grants the user a major decrease in speed which would be a major disadvantage in battle. This form is slightly different from the Ascended Super Saiyan form and Goku's hair is slightly longer but much spikier, his body becomes abnormally if not too bulky and his body gains a freakish increase in muscle and his aura and Goku grows much larger in size. This form demands all of Goku's time to be spent on ki which causes him to have a massive decrease in speed. This form is never used by Goku again.
