Raditz, as we know is a full -blood Sayian. As first son of the Saiyans named Bardock and Kinoko (respectively Father and Mother), he is raised as a warrior, working under Frieza's family's rule. Bardock had a second son, Kakarot, or as we know him, " Goku ". Both younger saiyans were sent to clear planets when the immenent destruction of Vegeta-sei rendered them a near extinct species.
At the same time as Raditz was sent off, Goku was sent to earth where he grew up. He had been sent there as a baby, so did not really remember Vegeta-sei. As violent as he was, Gohan chose to adopt Goku, who didnt appreciate this one bit. One fateful day, Goku climbed out of his safety basket and fell into a ravine, where he hit his head. This left a scar and permenant brain damage, which was good for the earth. Goku became a kind natured child like any human. Later on, Goku had his tail removed while he was heling search for the dragonballs, due to his friend finding out about the Oozaru transformation. This was one less threat to the earth, and Goku could continue his journey in life without knowing.
Goku, was blissfully unaware of the events on vegeta- sei, as his brother Raditz, along with the Prince of the Saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa, an elite, all struggle for survival. Frieza and his family are ruthless, using the saiyans for their skill in killing. Frieza eventually destroyed Vegeta-sei, for fear of the saiyans becoming too strong. He left a select few alive, which would be the changelings downfall. However, the time for earth to be sold to the purchaser soon comes, Raditz was sent on this mission. When he arrives, nothing had hapened. Goku had lost all memories of being a Saiyan.
Raditz then decides that he would have to exterminate his brother along with his nephew and the Namek, Piccolo, as well as the entire human race. This fails after a dawn out battle, but not all was lost. Raditz sends a transmission to Vegeta as Piccolo speaks about the dragonballs, and wishing Goku back within a week. Of course this will lure the remaining saiyans like sharks to earth. This is esentially where Raditz' role ends in Dragonball Z.
If you know the series well, ponder my little mind twister below
Now, I bet you're wondering how on earth he's an important character, right? Well the most important thing is that he lets Vegeta know about the Dragonballs. This would have knock on effect on the rest of the series, and kami knows where we'd land up. Have a think about what would happen if Raditz didnt go to earth, and Vegeta DIDN'T know about earths dragonballs. Then try and say he's not important =p!
