List Of Characters:
Son Goku
The Saiyan raised on Earth. The Hero of Anime and Manga.
Son Goku was far from a typical young lad, he was a rather extraordinary child with superhuman strength, a tail and an extreme naivety of the outside world, having never even seen another human besides his (now deceased) Grandpa Gohan. However, when Goku was 12 years old, he met a 16 year old girl named Bulma, or rather she crashed into him with her car. And from that day onwards, young Goku's life would be changed forever.

Bulma
The very first human Goku came across (apart from his grandpa) at the start of the series. One could say she's the trigger that kicks off the series as a whole. Originally on a quest to gather the Dragon Balls for her own reason (to wish for a perfect boyfriend), Bulma gets dragged into the craziness that comes along with the search. Even when the quest is finished, she still keeps close ties with Goku and his friends and helps out whenever possible. Which, considering she's a mechanical whiz, is quite often.
Master Roshi
Goku's first mentor. A hermit whose home is located on a small island in the middle of the ocean. Very strong (at least at the start of the series) and with a keen eye. Also very perverted and usually hits on any pretty tail that comes his way.
Yamcha
Yamcha was a desert bandit, Bulma's first love, and Goku's first rival. Even in the original series, Yamcha was often used as the primary victim of The Worf Effect, hardly winning any important fights despite being one of the most powerful protagonists. By Z he was pretty much a target to show how tough the villains were, so much so that around the Buu Saga he gave up fighting entirely (except for fillers in which he somehow defeated enemies even Goku had trouble with a few years before).
Krillin
One of the few human characters who retained most of their screentime even in DBZ (even though it was mostly as a Plucky Comic Relief and by few we mean the only one). Started off as a rival to Goku when both trained under Master Roshi when they were kids. He soon became a best friend and Heterosexual Life-Partner to Goku and the two have been through thick and thin through their battles and lives.
Tien Shinhan/Tenshinhan
Introduced in the second World Martial Arts Tournament arc, Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu were initially rivals to Goku, Krillin, and Yamcha (as they belonged to an opposing dojo to Roshi's). The two eventually become friends to our heroes after realizing the lack of honor in their own methods. They become instrumental in the the next few arcs following their introduction, but by Z their roles had become less and less till they were reduced to cameo appearances and a few references in Dragon Ball GT.
Piccolo
A Namekian (a race of green skinned aliens), though at the start this wasn't really known; he was the son of the self-proclaimed Demon King Piccolo, who Goku defeated in the original series. After being spat out as an egg and hatched, Piccolo tried to carry on his father's work but was defeated by Goku and allowed to live. As the series rolls into the Z saga, his evil exterior softens due to training Son Gohan, and eventually becomes a second father to the kind-hearted little boy during Goku's absence. The once feared Demon King eventually becomes one of Goku's most trusted allies, and incredibly popular amongst the fanbase.
Son Gohan
Son of Goku and Chi-Chi introduced in the Z series, and a half-Saiyan (the only one seen starting off life having a tail like Goku did). At first he was just a little crybaby with hidden strength, but under the tutelage of Piccolo and his experiences in battle, he turns into quite an accomplished warrior. However, despite his potential and in noted contrast to most to the cast, he hates violence and would rather be a scholar than a fighter.
Vegeta
The Prince of All Saiyans, one of the few surviving members of his race. The Super Elite Warrior.THE Rival.
Vegeta started out as a villain who came to Earth to use the Dragon Balls for his own ends. But after that battle and his repeated run-ins with the heroes, he slowly but surely starts to come over to the heroes' side...eventually, it takes him a while, but just because he sits firmly on the heroic side nowadays, don't think that means he's gotten soft...
A beloved Breakout Character, Vegeta's popularity and iconic competitiveness with Goku led to him becoming a classical example of The Rival, and by the end of Z and especially Super, the series Deuteragonist.
Future Trunks
Vegeta and Bulma's son from an apocalyptic alternate timeline. With his father and most of the Z-Fighters dead at the hands of two monstrous Androids, he was raised by his mother and trained by Future Gohan, growing to be polite, selfless, and ruthlessly dedicated to ending the mechanical menace. He comes to the main timeline to warn Goku and his friends of their fate and search for a way to save his own timeline.Twelve years later, Trunks returns to the main timeline, this time to ask for help against a threat far more dire than the Androids ever were, one that has brought the human race to the brink of extinction. And this time, it wears a familiar face...
Beerus
Beerus is the God of Destruction, who destroys planets to make room for new ones, and balances out the Gods of Creation, the Kais. He is one of the utmost powerful beings in the entirety of Universe 7, feared by even the Kais.He served as the main antagonist of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. After receiving a vision of the so-called "Super Saiyan God" making a Worthy Opponent for him, he shows up on earth. Despite his dreaded "profession", he's a surprising exception to the commonly sadistic monster that a Dragon Ball Z villain usually is, which is good considering he's leagues and leagues stronger than any and all of them.
After this, he goes on to becomes a supporting character throughout Dragon Ball Super, quite often as an ally.
