Name: Kuririn
Race: Human
Appears in: Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT

Goku's best friend, Kuririn, was first seen aplying to be trained by Kame Sen`nin 
(Muten Roshi), at first he didn't like Goku (like many people) but with time learnt to live wih 
with him and soon became his best friend. Kuririn was a monk at Orin Temple (hence the six 
dots on his forehead) but ran away, to be trained by Kame Sen`nin, because the other Monks 
were bullying him. He was bald in order to "unfetter their Ki", but his wife, #18, convinced 
him to grow it back. Kuririn, though one of the weaker characters, is the comic releif in 
Dragon Ball Z, since it is more fighting orientated unlike Dragon Ball. Kuririn has been 
defeated by many people, including; Freeza, Cell, Buu, Nappa, Vegeta and even Raditz. But 
lets not put the poor fellow down, 'cause he's my favourite character in Dragon Ball and one 
of in Z.
