This solemn, serious and savage Nameckian is a fan favorite. First appearing after the death of his father, Piccolo Daimaou, Piccolo vowed that he would avenge his fathers death by killing Goku. But Piccolo is much more than Diamaou's son, he's a semi-reincarnation of him.He retains all of his father's memories and experiences. It is because he still exists, that Kami, his good half is still able to live.

Piccolo is introduced to the series as a villain, making his grand entrance in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, under the entry name,"Ma Junior".The final battle that transpires between Piccolo and Goku is truly one to be remembered! In the end Goku wins the climactic battle with a head butt, knocking Piccolo out of the ring,(or whats left of it). Goku shows his adversary mercy and allows him to escape. Piccolo goes off by himself to train to become stronger, in order to kill goku, but the next meeting with the hero won't go exactly as he plans it...

The next time the duo meet, they join forces to eliminate Raditz, Goku's evil brother. After Piccolo succeeds in killing Raditz, he learns of the Saiyans who will reach the Earth in one years time. Figureing he needs all the help he can get, Piccolo kidnaps Gohan in order to show the child how to realese his hidden power. Over the year, Piccolo's heart become calmer due to Gohan's friendly influence, and when the time comes, he proves that he has truly reformed himself.

As the series progresses, Piccolo becomes less of a fighter and more of a leader. When he merges with Kami, he gains a great deal of wisdom, and uses it to its advantage to be tactical not brutal. In Goku's absence, he serves as a leader, and a uniting force among the Z soldiers. Late in Dragon Ball GT, he makes the ultimate sacrifice for the Earth he learned to love.
