Background / History

Sun Hao was an avid Dragon Ball fan who was reborn on Douluo Continent after an accident and obtained a mysterious Spirit Awakening Array. A later disturbance in space-time brought him to Planet Vegeta, where he was reborn as Kakarot, the son of Bardock and Gine 1 102.

Foreseeing Planet Vegeta's destruction, Bardock sent the infant to Earth. Grandpa Son Gohan found and adopted him, giving him the name Sun Wukong. At age three, an accident awakened his memories as Sun Hao; at age six, he awakened his Saiyan Great Ape Spirit 1 104.

Over the next six years, Goku cultivated his martial techniques, transformations, bloodline, and martial soul. Despite his early strength and growing reputation, he sought Master Roshi's instruction because he recognized how much stronger the greatest fighters remained 1 2 6.

Much later, he revealed his reincarnation and memory awakening to his family, friends, teacher, and disciples. Their discussions connected his Douluo experiences with his Dragon Ball cultivation and gave those close to him a fuller understanding of his life 101 102 104.

Appearance

• Hair: Normally black and spiky; its color and shape change with his transformations 182 217 240.
• Clothing: Wears a simple martial arts uniform during his early journey with Bulma; later appears in a red battle suit marked by previous fights 4 179.
• Expression: His youthful appearance includes clear eyes and an innocent face; his familiar wide grin persists into his later life 4 41.
• Super Saiyan: Upright golden hair and a golden aura 16.
• Super Saiyan God: Red hair and a sacred aura 16 41.
• Super Saiyan 4: Long black hair, red body fur, and a reappearing tail 41.
• Super Saiyan 5: Silver-white hair and a blue aura 41.
• Star Saiyan: Silver-blue hair, star-like eyes, and surrounding starlight 174.
• Chaos Saiyan 21: Hair and aura display constantly shifting chaotic colors 242.

Personality

Goku combines enthusiasm for strong opponents with a willingness to learn. He eagerly anticipates matches with Tien Shinhan and Piccolo, yet approaches Master Roshi as a student rather than assuming his existing strength makes instruction unnecessary. He also prepares carefully for dangerous challenges through meditation, technique refinement, and equipment checks 6 16 19 21.

His family and friends are central to his decisions. He values their happiness more than prize money, draws strength from memories of their support, and ultimately places their safety above his desire to fight. His compassion extends beyond his own circle: he asks for the erased universes to be restored and urges Granolah to abandon hatred 41 45 57 81 84.

As a teacher, he is encouraging but willing to expose pupils to real danger. His decision to train the children and let them confront Majin Buu alarms the adults around him; he argues that their potential is essential to the world's survival and that battle experience will help them become responsible warriors 24 34.
