Goku (LordPanda)

"I am the hope of the universe. I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace. I am protector of the innocent. I am the light in the darkness. I am truth. Ally to good! Nightmare to you!"

— Goku as a Super Saiyan toward Frieza in "Explosion of Anger""

"Goku," elsewise known as Kakarot, is the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball series created by Akira Toriyama and is also the main protagonist of LordPanda`s fanon series, Dragon Ball GIII and a supporting character of the series, Dragon Ball Final Era. He is also the leader of the Z-Fighters and the father to Gohan and Goten, wife to Chi Chi, grandfather to Pan (Videl and Gohan`s daughter) and to Gokken (son of Goten and Bulla.) and he is also the son of Gine and Bardock. His arch rival and friendly partner is Vegeta who he fuses with and becomes Gogeta or Vegito of the following.

Appearance
Goku has spiky black hair that never changes throughout the franchise. He is most commonly seen wearing his trademark orange/red/golden gi over a dark blue undershirt. The gi has featured Master Roshi's, Kami's, and King Kai's kanji on its left side (over the heart). It is also featured on the back. After theFrieza Saga, no symbols appear and Goku's gi turns a darker orange. He wears dark blue wristbands, along with dark blue boots that are outfitted with yellow/beige laces. He originally wore a blue obi over his waist, although after the Frieza Saga this was changed to a blue sash. As a kid, he has a tail due to his Saiyanheritage and also wields the Power Pole. He did not wear the blue undershirt and boots until his teenage years, instead wearing simple shoes.

At times, Goku has been seen wearing different clothing,[16] [17] [18]  such as a grey business suit and tie.[19]  Most notably, after training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and in the nine days before the Cell Games, he wears casual Earthclothing consisting of an orange-and-black long-sleeved jacket, a white undershirt, lime green pants, and brown boots.

In Dragon Ball GIII, his skin tone almost changes to a tan tone and wears his basic attire. In DBFE, he wears a blue gi with a white sash, pink wristbands, ochre pants, and black kung fu shoes with white stockings.

Personality
Apparently copied from DB Wiki

Goku is known for his cheerful, energetic personality and his love of competition; specifically sport fighting and eating. He will eat anything.[2]  He has remarkable intuition at seeing the good in others in spite of their actions, though his capacity for forgiving his enemies has occasionally been criticized as excessive; Goku, for the most part, only fights to win, and spares his enemies after defeating them only for them to attack him when his back is turned.[20] [21]  His staggering power is simultaneously reined in and enhanced by his fierce loyalty and morality. Goku can also be very blunt, and not afraid to express his opinion in a discussion, such as when he questioned Krillin's marriage to Android 18. Despite his kind-hearted nature, Goku can feel incredible anger in cases of extreme turmoil, such as the death of a close friend/relative, or when someone murders many innocents needlessly. He has a simple, practical view of the world and is somewhat naive to the world around him. Because of this, many characters incorrectly assume him to be somewhat stupid, although once he has a basic understanding of things, he learns very quickly. His most remarkable ability is his will to succeed, his tenacity and persistence. He is always determined to push himself beyond his limitations, and never give up even when the odds are stacked against him.

Goku is pure of heart, possessing no negative feelings or thoughts. He is also portrayed to be very innocent as a child, because of growing up in Mount Paozu and not having met anyone other than his grandpa until he meetsBulma. During his childhood, a recurring gag early in the series is that he is incapable of telling the difference between a male and a female without physically touching them, which often gets him into trouble.[22]  Notable of these occurrences are in the scene where he removes Bulma's panties while she slept and is horrified to discover that she had no testicles (which was also adapted in the movie Dragon Ball: The Path to Power),[23]  and later when he first meets Chi-Chi and she pushes him off of the Flying Nimbus after he patted her genitals with his foot.[24]  He eventually outgrew this once old enough to understand the difference. This trait was also referenced in Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai, where Android 18 attempted to fight Goku due to paranoia that Goku would touch her there, with Goku explaining that he knows better now. In addition, during his youth, he seemed to not understand the concept of pornography, as when Bulma discovered her father's secret stash of porn magazines with Goku nearby, Goku thought the girls were too poor to afford clothes, causing Bulma to angrily tell him that they were not poor.

It is often teased that Goku is scared of his wife's temper (as joked by Master Roshi upon Goku's refusal to come back to Earth after the Frieza Saga: "He's scared of the one thing that's stronger than a Super Saiyan- his wife!") Goku is shown to suffer from severe trypanophobia, or the fear of medical needles, but this only occurs in the anime.[26]  He showed his fear for them twice in Dragon Ball Z, and three times during Dragon Ball GT. The first time was after his battle with Vegeta, and when he was taken to Wukong Hospital. The second time he showed his fear of needles was after the fight with Captain Ginyu on Namek, while he was on his way to recover in a Medical Machine.

So he names it a Super Saiyan 4. How does he get this form? Before he defeated Omega Shenron, he was in SSJ form. After the dark side of him went away, it`s powers upgraded his SSJ form thus making him a superior being. With this form, he defeats Xicor.

Trivia

 * In the original Japanese anime, Goku is voiced by the same voice actress throughout the series' run, Masako Nozawa. Additionally, Nozawa voices every biological male relative of Goku, with the exception of Raditz. In the FUNimation dub, he has been played by four actors: three as a child (one for the entire main series, and two others for miscellaneous projects) and only one for adult Goku. In the various Ocean/Blue Water dubs, eight actors have played him: three as a child, and five as an adult at various points of various different projects. In the Filipino dub, he was played by one actor. Goku is voiced by Jefferson Utanes in the Tagalog, Hiligaynon, and Cebuano dubs.
 * Despite being the main character, Goku has only officially won one World Martial Arts Tournament, and that was the 23rd against Piccolo. In all others, he either loses (to Jackie Chun and Tien Shinhan), or quits (due to the threat of Majin Buu, as well as later to train Uub). During Dragon Ball GT, he fights in the Jr. Division due to his child body, and loses when his competitor tickled him, causing him to fall out of the ring. Even in the Other World Tournament, the match ends in a draw because both Goku and Pikkon had touch the ceiling during their fight, which was technically a ring-out. He also loses the Cell Games when he forfeits.
 * Goku has shown an act of mercy to every major manga villain he battles from Piccolo onward. These acts of mercy include:
 * Giving Piccolo a Senzu Bean after narrowly defeating him in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament
 * Letting Raditz's tail go when holding him in place for Piccolo's attack
 * Giving Nappa a chance to leave Earth after defeating him
 * Pleading with Krillin to keep him from killing Vegeta with Yajirobe's samurai sword
 * Merely wounding Recoome and Burter, giving them a chance to recover
 * Telling Vegeta not to kill Captain Ginyu after he turns into a frog
 * Giving Frieza some energy so he could flee Namek before it explodes
 * Giving Cell a Senzu Bean before letting Gohan fight in his place to guarantee that Cell would be fighting at his fullest
 * Telling Dende to heal Majin Buu and using the Dragon Balls to make sure that the majority of Earth's population would forget about the evil things done by Majin Buu so that Buu could live on Earth in peace.
 * On one occasion, in an interview with Shonen Jump in 1995, Akira Toriyama stated that Goku is his favorite character from the series.[209]  In previous statements, he claimed that Piccolo was his favorite, and before this, that Tien was his favorite.
 * In the Raging Blast video game series, Goku is the only character to have three ultimate attacks, which can be changed through customization.
 * Goku appears in every anime feature in the series with the exception of Dragon Ball: Episode of Bardock. He does however appear on the cover of the manga that the OVA was based on.
