Ma Junior no Tamago o Hirotsu Taroufuuhu "The
married couple that found Ma Junior's egg"- An
old man who finds the egg containing Ma Junior AKA
Piccolo. The egg hatches later and Piccolo burns down the
couple's house.
Majin Buu- Hoooo boy. This is going to be tough.
Stick with me on this. Buu was created by the magician
Bibidi at around five million BC. Buu went from planet to
planet destroying life. This original Buu was very small
and looked like a kid. The only problem was, he was
absolutely insane and HIGHLY dangerous. Bibidi had a very
hard time controlling him. Finally, Buu arrived at
Kaioushin Kai, the planet of the 5 Kaioushins. He killed
one at a time. First the Kaioushin of the West, and then
the Kaioushin of the North. He progressed to the
strongest of the group, Kaioushin of the South, but
instead of killing him, he absorbed him and he became
Huge Buu. He basically looks like he downed a truckload
of steroids. (this Buu is only seen in the manga for an
instant during his final change). After that he moves on
to the Kaioushin of the East, (the one we know), but Dai
Kaioushin defends him, and ends up getting absorbed
himself. After absorbing Dai Kaioushin, he become what we
refer to as Fat Buu. He takes on the physical
characteristics of Dai Kaioushin, and also inherits Dai
Kaioushin's intelligence. He becomes very child-like and
obiedient who will do almost anything for food. So
anyway, time passes and Buu is sealed up by Bibidi.
Couple million years pass and Babidi locates the sphere
his father sealed Buu in. He starts to form a very small
group of soldiers and begins his quest to ressurrect Buu.
Lots more years pass. Buu is finally ressurected in 774
AD. He does Babidi's bidding and goes on a rampage.
Eventually, he kills Babidi, and strikes out on his own.
He befriends Mr. Satan and reforms himself. All is well
with the world. UNTIL, the human hunters shoot Mr. Satan
and Buu's dog Bee. Buu goes nuts and the steam that
shoots out of the holes from all over his body gathers
together and forms Old Buu. Old Buu is a tall, lanky,
dark skinned and evil version of Buu. The two face off
against each other and Fat Buu gets turned into a piece
of chocolate. Old Buu eats the chocolate and turns into
Super Buu. Super Buu is a tall muscular light-skinned
version of Buu. He's intelligent, but not very vocal.
Super Buu rushes up to Kami's Tower and the whole Gotenks
fight takes place, yadda yadda yadda. Skipping ahead, Buu
absorbs Gotenks and Piccolo. He takes on Gotenk's
physical characteristics, and due to Piccolo's brain
power, he becomes a frickin rocket scientist compared to
what he was before. Gohan fights Buu and gets absorbed
too after Gokou shows up. After absorbing Gohan his face
changes slightly, his forelock becomes HUGE and his torso
is covered by Gohan's gi. In short, the world is screwed.
Luckily for Gokou. Vegita is taken back to Earth by
Uranai Baba at that excat moment, and he teleports over
to Vegita, yadda yadda yadda, and they fuse just as about
Buu is about to kill the both of them. Buu gets his
posterior end served to him on a silver platter, but
eventually absorbs Vegitto. After being split, Gokou and
Vegita run around inside Buu's stomach and eventually
happen upon their buddies encased in little capsules
attached to Buu. They rip out their friends, and cause
Buu to revert back to normal Super Buu form. Buu realizes
that he's in trouble so he phases out and actually fights
them inside of himself, until Vegita finds a gold mine,
Fat Buu! Buu pleads Vegita not to rip it out, but since
when does Vegita listen to pleas? After ripping out Fat
Buu, Gokou and Vegita escape Buu just in time to see how
royally they've %##^$@ up. By removing all of their
friends and Fat Buu, Buu no longer has anything that was
previously in him, and reverts back to his original
child-like form popularly reffered to as Kid Buu. Kid Buu
wastes no time proving that he's insane by blowing up the
Earth with him on it. It's after this event that the
final battle takes place on Kaioushin Kai. Kid Buu is
completely destroyed by Gokou's Ultimate Genki Dama. And
that's just about everything you need to know about Buu.
Mahou Tsukai no Kunbaba "Magical Errand
Witch"- A witch who worked for the Kaioushins.
One day she was admiring Rou Kaioushin's Potara earing
and she took it off and tried it on. That was of course
very very stupid because by doing that, she fused herself
with Rou Kaioushin for eternity. But on the bright side,
after fusing with her, Rou Kaioushin gained the ability
to perform magical spells.
Maboroshi Saiya-jin "Illusion Saiya-jin"*-
The pair of fake Saiya-jin that Yamucha, Kuririn,
Tenshinhan and Chazou face off against in Kami's room of
illusions.
Maron*- Kuririn's girlfriend who is a complete
moron. She looks similar to Buruma and many people
confuse the two, but she's very different as far as brain
power. Kuririn tries proposing to her, but just as he's
about to, she leaves him for a guy in a red sports car,
(she's not loyal either). She shows up later during the
Android Saga, but just for a little while.
Princess Miisa*- "Miisa likes you
okyday?". Sorry, bad joke. Miisa is the daughter of
King Kuresu whose kingdom is being sacked by demons every
night. She's kidnapped and Gokou offers to rescue her,
(which of course he does).
Miira kun "Little Mummy"- He may sound
cute, but he sure ain't! Little Mummy is 5' 8" tall
and weighs 228 lbs of pure muscle. He's third to last of
Uranai Baba's fighters. Gokou KO's him.
Migoren*- A human-like dog competitor in the
Annoyoichi Budoukai who died 7,000 years ago.
Mizugame no Monsuta "Freshwater Turtle
Monster"*- Not exactly sure what it is, but from
what I'm able to read, it lives around the water near
Karin Tower.
Misuta Satan "Mr. Satan"- The World
Champion, MR. SATAN! Mr. Satan is basically the luckiest
guy in all of DBZ. Majority of the people on Earth
believe that he's the strongest man in the World who
defeated Cell and Buu, thus rescuing the entire human
race. He becomes a huge celebrity and even has a city
named after him. In reality, Mr. Satan is indeed a very
strong human, but he's absolutely NOTHING compared to
Gokou and Co. And he lied about defeating Cell and Buu,
(obviously). When Cell was killed, there was a huge flash
of light and no one could see what happened so Satan
claimed victory. During the Buu saga it's a different
story. He sort of saved the world. When Gokou was
gathering energy, he pleaded for the people of Earth to
give him their energy, but barely anyone knows Gokou and
they all thought it was a trick of Buu's, so they ignored
him. Mr. Satan becomes infuriated with their
insubordinace and screams at them telling them that they,
"You had better raise your hands because it is Mr.
Satan who's fighting Buu!". And of course everyone
knows Satan's voice so they all raise their hands and
give up their energy, thinking that he's the one who's
fighting Buu and once again, Gokou doesn't get credit for
saving the World, (not that he actually wants any
either). None of the Z Soldiers ever let on that they
actually saved the World. They don't care for fame of any
type and besides, if they ever need money all they need
to do is bribe Mr. Satan. Regardless of the fact that
he's definately an ego-maniac, Mr. Satan's heart really
is in the right place. He loves his daughter more than
anything, and would do anything for her. He befriends Fat
Buu and lets him live with him. Fat Buu and Mr. Satan
share the dog Bee.
Misuta Satan Fyan Kurabu "Mr Satan's Fan
Club"*- A group of screaming young girls who try
to chase Mr. Satan down for even a glimpse of him.
Misuta Popo "Mr. Popo"- Mr. Popo is
Kami's faithful servant. He's lived a very long time and
has served all previous Kami's. His tasks are basically
to tend to the Palace, and to take care of Kami. He is
quite strong and fast, even though he doesn't appear to
be. When Gokou first arrived at Kami's Palace, Popo was
far stronger than him. He trained Gokou for three years
and taught him techniques that would later prove
invaluable, such as the ability to sense ki.
Minkattsun*- The large blubbery android built by
Doctor Koachin in DBZ Movie 2. Gokou defeats him by
blasting through his rubber-like stomach, thus deflating
him.
Minami no Kaiou "Kaiou of the South"-
The only other Kaioushin to appear in the manga, Southern
Kaiou is Northern Kaiou's rival. Of the four Kaiou's only
two appear in the manga, while Gokou's trainer is one of
them, Southern Kaiou is the other. The other two are only
in the anime.
Minami no Kaioushin "Southern Kaioushin"-
The strongest of the four Kaioushins, Southern Kaioushin
was the second to last of his kind to be killed by Buu.
When Buu absorbed this massive deity, he became Huge Buu.
Minoshiya*- Minoshiya is Tapion's younger brother,
killed by Hildegarn in the beginning of DBZ Movie 13.
Tapion later takes Buruma's Time Machine into the past,
and rescues his brother, (although we don't get to see
it).
Muusu Kazoku "The Moose Family"*- In the
anime, during his training with Mr. Popo, Gokou is sent
on several tasks which require him to find something, or
do some sort of spiritual soul searching. One of of his
tasks, Gokou meets a family living in the woods. The
family is HUGE. There's two parents, nine kids, and one
grandfather. All of the family memebers' names are puns
on sweet foods. I haven't been able to pick them all out
yet, but the parent's names are Muusu "Moose"
and Ekure "Eclair". The children's names are as
follows: Kuuki "Cookie". Puri
"Pudding" Bisuke "Biscuit". Babaro (I
don't know). Donatsu "Donuts". Chyoko
"Chocolate". Zeri "Jelly". Shyuku
"Sugar". Kurepa "Crepe". The
grandfather's name is Korinto.
Muuri- Muuri is Dende and Kargo's father and the
elder Nameck of his village. Just before Saichourou dies,
he selects Muuri to be his successor. After the Freeza
ordeal, Muuri powers up the Nameckian Dragon Balls,
allowing them to return multiple people back to life with
one wish.
Musuka*- The corrupt owner of a circus in Satan
City. He steals a little Pteradon baby named Chibi from
his parents and makes him a part of the circus.
Mutaito- Mutaito is Kame and Tsuru Sennins'
teacher. He succesfully seals Piccolo Daimaou in the
Denshi Jar with his Mafuba technique, but in envoking the
attack, he also kills himself. In the anime, Gokou
actually meets Mutaito and he's the first person in the
series to teach Gokou about controlling his
"ki". In fact, he's the first person to even
mention the word, which soon becomes the explanation for
the incredible energy techniques used throughout Dragon
Ball.
Murasaki Souchyou "Operative Purple"-
The deadly ninja of a thousand techniques who works under
the command of White Shogun in Muscle Tower. Gokou's
fight with Murasaki is classic. It mixes classic ninja
techniques, with Gokou's kooky style of repelling them,
(such as pouring boiling water down a reed Murasaki uses
to breathe with under-water). Murasaki is simply punched
out by Gokou in the manga, but in the anime, he gets
blown up by the bomb from Artificial Human 8's body.
Murasaki is 5' 7" tall and weighs 135 and 1/2 lbs.
Murasaki Souchyou no Kyodai "Operative Purple's
Brothers"- Murasaki calls his four brothers into
action to help him fight Gokou. Each is armed with
different a deadly weapon.
Meido Roboto "Maid Robot"- A maid robot
who works in the Capsule Corporation.
Megane Buta "Eyeglass Pig"- A
near-sighted pig who acts as sort of a town crier for
Penguin Village. He makes his announcements from atop a
tree.
Mezu*- The red ogre who Gokou plays tag with in
order to find the secret path back to the Serpent Path.
Meda Muchya*- The insane frog-like bodyguard of
Slug from DBZ Movie 4, "Super Saiya-jin Son
Gokou". He can make little clones of himself that
distract his opponent allowing him to attack. Gokou kills
him.
Metarikku Gunsou "Sergeant Metallic"- A
large android who Gokou is forced to fight on the third
floor of Muscle Tower. Metallic only goes down after
Gokou blasts his head off with a Kame Hame Ha, and even
after that, he keeps attacking, but eventually he shuts
down.
Metaru Kuura "Metal Koola"*- A villain
from DBZ Movie 6, Metal Koola is a creation of the Big
Ghetti Star. He's amazingly powerful, and since he's
entirely mechanical, he can regenerate body parts from
internal wires and metal reserves. Gokou and Vegita both
rush him at full power and manage to completely destroy
him, only to then be faced with thousands of copies of
him manufactured by the Big Ghetti Star. They are
defeated by the Metal Koola's and hooked up to the core
of the Big Ghetto Star, where Koola's brain resides.
Mera*- A beautiful demon who helps Gokou escape
from the Underworld with Princess Miisa.
Menmen*- Jyaga's nephew who carries out messages
for his uncle in DBZ Movie 11.
Moai Ou "King Moai"*- The evil king of
Arlia who took rule of the planet by force. Vegita kills
him by shooting a rock through his chest.
Moukeko- The burly foul-mouthed monogolian who Pan
faces in the 28th Tenkaichi Budoukai. He makes fun of her
and torments her in the anime. She beats him with just a
slap and a kick. He's 7' 5".
Moumoku no Shyonen "Blind Boy"- A Blind
Boy who becomes Buu's friend. Buu wonders why the boy
isn't terrified of him, (it's because he can't see). Buu
heals the boy's eyes so that he can see him, (Buu figures
that when he does, he'll be frightened). But when the boy
regains his site he thanks Buu very much and the two chat
for a while. The boy asks for some milk, so Buu happily
finds a human, turns him into a carton of milk and brings
it back to the boy. The two chat for a little bit, and
finally decides to leave. The whole scene sets you up for
a gag because it's designed to make the reader think that
Buu somewhat reforms himself after meeting the boy, but
in the last panel of the comic, Buu happily blows up a
nearby city.
Yaochyun*- A large man Gokou meets in the Goro
Goro Mountains during his training for Mr. Popo. Gokou
thinks that the man is supposed to teach him to be
"Quiet Like the Sky", but the guy is actually
just a nobody.
Yakon- A huge demonic creature with enormous
blades on his arms, Yakon is one of Babidi's gaurdians.
Gokou has to face Yakon in complete darkness, so in order
to locate Yakon, he turns Super Saiya-jin, and locates
him with the light of his ki, unfortunately, Yakon eats
ki! But Gokou uses that ability against him. He pushes
his ki to the max, and Yakon explodes when he absorbs too
much.
Yajirobe- Yajirobe is a sword-wielding, vagabond
monk. He first meets Gokou during the Piccolo Daimaou
Saga and befriends him under an odd set of circumstances.
While the two are talking, Piccolo Daimaou's child,
Cymbal sneaks up on them. Both Gokou and Yajirobe are
eager to fight him, but Yajirobe wins a game of
paper-scissors, so he gets to fight him. He slices the
monster in half. Yajirobe is far from being the coward
he's portrayed as in the English version. Granted he's
not always running head-first into danger, but he's not a
baby. Yajirobe later rescues Gokou from his first
encounter with Piccolo Daimaou and takes him to Karin to
drink the Super God Water, (and get healed with a Senzu).
Yajirobe takes a liking to Karin's abode, so he stays
with him after the Piccolo Daimaou Saga ends. Yajirobe
shows up a lot in Dragon Ball, up to the appearance of
Freeza. After that, he shows up during the beginning of
the Android Saga, but that's about it. Of course he makes
a few more appearances in the manga, (and many more short
ones in the anime), but he loses a lot of his importance,
like many of the original Z Soldiers near the end of the
series. Yajirobe is 5' 4" tall, (he's a little self
conscious of his weight so he doesn't give it out).
Yamuu- Yamuu is a waste of a character. He does
next to nothing, and no background info is given on him,
but he does look sorta cool. Yamuu is Supopo Bitchi's
assistant, and thus, a tool of Babidi who was once a
normal human. He works with Supopo Bitchi to gather
energy for his master at the 25th Tenkaichi Budoukai.
After they steal energy from Gohan, Yamuu and Supopo
Bitchi leave the tournament and deliver the energy to
Babidi. Their master thanks them by making them explode.
Yamucha- Born in 733 AD, Yamucha began as a common
thief. He stoles Capsules from wanderers who traveled
through his desert with the help of his friend Puuaru.
Yamucha originally wanted to make a wish with the Dragon
Balls to do away with his horrible fear of women, but
during the time that he shadows Buruma and the others, he
learns to deal with females. He and Buruma get together
after the whole ordeal with Emperor Pilaf, and become
boyfriend and girlfriend. This carries on for a loooooong
time. Yamucha plays a large part of most major events in
Dragon Ball, and is usually around. After the 22nd
Tenkaichi Budoukai, he trains with Kuririn and Tenshinhan
at Kame Sennin's and becomes a member of the Turtle
School of Martial Arts, as depicted on his orange gi.
Yamucha is killed by a Saibai Man during the Saiya-jin
Saga, and Buruma realizes how much she loves him after
she loses him, so she decides to go help the other search
for the Dragon Balls on Nameck. Yamucha then spends time
training on Kaiou Samma's planet and is eventually
tearfully reunited with Buruma later. However, his time
with Buruma was short lived. Yamucha always had a problem
with young girls chasing after him, and although he
wasn't always interested in them, Buruma always
discovered him in awkward situations which weren't his
fault, so Buruma loses interest in him and heads over to
Rancho del Vegita. Yamucha is not hit too hard by the
turn of events, and still remains good friends with
Buruma. His presence is zilch by the end of DBZ, and even
when he's around, he doesn't do anything useful, this is
partly due to the fact that after the Cell Saga, he loses
interest in training and settles down. Yamucha is never
seen with another woman. Yamucha is 6' tall and weighs
151 lbs.
