Goku...

The main character of Dragonball, and a substantial role in DBZ, Goku is sent to Earth as an infant so he can prepare it to be sold. He could have easily eliminated all life on the planet, but he fell into a ravine and hit his head when he was young. He afterwards fights for the side of good, as the brainwashing had been undone. He is not too intelligent, but is a natural when it comes to the martial arts, and manipulating his Ki. Goku by far has the most abilities of any of the Z warriors, with the only villain having more being Cell. He marries Chi-Chi, daughter of Ox king; and together they have two sons, Gohan and Goten.
Gohan...

First son of Goku, he is initially trained by Piccolo after the battle with Radditz. He looks up to Piccolo for being such a great fighter, and trys to immitate him by wearing similar clothes. He has the potential to become the most powerful being in the universe, yet since he cannot always fully utilize his strength, he can be defeated. Gohan is the first Saiyajin to go SSJ2, but after the Cell saga he spends little time training and focuses on his studies.
Goten...

Goten is the second son of Goku and Chi-Chi. He and Trunks spend most of their time together, and are very good friends. Goten exhibited high power when he went Super Saiyajin at the age of seven. He bears a very strong resemblance of Goku; and wears a miniture version of Goku's karate Gi. Goten is usually happy, but has a habit for throwing tantrums to get something he wants.
Vegeta...

Born on the planet bearing his own name, Vegeta has the bloodline to become a super-elite Saiyajin. A henchman of Freeza, he is regarded as one of the greatest fighters in the universe. Along with Goku, Radditz, and Nappa, Vegeta is one of the only Saiyajins to survive the destruction of their homeworld. He is extremely jealous of Goku's superior fighting ability, and actually helps him from time to time so that he still has someone to compete with. Vegeta craves nothing more than ultimate power until the very end of DBZ.
Trunks...

Trunks is the first child of Vegeta and Bulma. There are two Trunks in the DB universe; "Future Trunks" comes from a parallel universe 14 years in the future where evil androids rule the Earth. He goes back in time after the death of Freeza to prepare the Z warriors for the androids' arrival. So as not to prevent his own birth, he tells no one of his heritage, except Goku. "Chibi Trunks" is born a little before Future Trunks returns to his own time. He likes to hang out with Goten and they are very good friends. When he and Goten are together, he has a tendency to get them in trouble. Trunks is also sad that he does not have a brother like Goten does (Gohan). Trunks has purple hair and displays extreme levels of power, he reaches Super Saiyajin when he is eight. Despite Trunks' ability to get Goten and himself in trouble, he means well.
Krillin...

Krillin is the second most powerful human on Earth, although his abilities are still dwarfed by Goku and Gohan. He was once Goku's rival when they were young, but they later became best friends. A Buddhist monk, he shaves his head by choice. (#18 convinces him to grow some hair later in the series though) Krillin is willing to sacrifice his life for Earth, and whenever possible he is at Goku's side.
Piccolo...

The Piccolo in the DBZ series is the sole offspring of Piccolo-Daimao from the original. Like his father, his intentions are evil. However, when a greater evil, Raditz, threatens the Earth, he turns to the side of good and helps Goku. He later trains Gohan, and the kid help Piccolo become a good, well-meaning person. Capable of regenerating body parts and manipulating his size and shape, Piccolo is a formidable fighter.
