Гоку

Appearance and Personality
Goku is the main character in the entire Dragon Ball series. With spiky black hair and his trademark orange/red/golden and blue clothes, Goku is known for his cheerful, energetic personality, love of competition (specifically sport fighting and eating). 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. His staggering power is simultaneously reined in and enhanced by his fierce loyalty and morality. 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, pushing himself beyond his limitations, and never giving up even when the odds are stacked against him.

During his childhood, a recurring gag in the series was that Goku was incapable of telling the difference between a man and a woman without physically touching them, which often got him into trouble; the most notable of these occurrences was when he first met Chi-Chi, where she pushed him off of the Flying Nimbus after he patted her genitals with his foot, and in Dragon Ball: The Path to Power, where he removed Bulma's panties while she slept and was horrified to discover that she had no testicles. He eventually outgrew this, though it is mentioned as a gag in a Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai cutscene: Android 18 warns Goku to stay away from her for this reason, and remains unconvinced when Goku tells her that he no longer does so, reminding him that he learned martial arts from a lecher.

Despite his almost limitless skills, good-hearted spirit, and courage, Goku is shown to suffer from severe trypanophobia, or the fear of medical needles. He showed his fear for them twice in Dragon Ball Z, and three times in Dragon Ball GT. The first time was after his battle with Vegeta, and when he was taken to the hospital. When the doctor was going to give him a sedative, or some kind of pain killer, he screamed like a maniac constantly, annoying Chi-Chi to the point of her intentional departure from the hospital to attend to other important matters; when he was injected, he screamed so loud that those outside the hospital heard him. The second time he showed his fear of needles was after the fight with Captain Ginyu on Namek. Goku successfully got his body back from Captain Ginyu, but it had been severely beaten by Vegeta earlier when Captain Ginyu fought him in Goku's body. Vegeta knew he'd need Goku to help defeat Frieza, so he had Goku placed in a rejuvenation tank to be healed. While Vegeta was clearing all of the unnecessary equipment off of the tables, a needle fell out of a storage box. Goku saw it, squealed in fear and tried to run off, begging Vegeta not to use it, but after Vegeta clarified that he wasn't even going to give him one, calling him an idiot in the process, he immediately calmed down and said, "Oh, never mind, then". Then in Dragon Ball GT, when Goku, Pan, and Trunks brought an injured boy to the Hospital Planet of the universe, Goku cowered under a couch and stated, "Doctors give shots. I hate shots, so I avoid doctors"; when Pan and Trunks considered this uproariously funny, Goku says to himself, "They won't think it's so funny when they get the needle." Later, he climbed a tree and refused to come down, but calmed down after the doctor told him that they would never give shots to visitors. The second time, during his first battle against Baby Vegeta, he was blasted into Sogorugo Space, where he had to win a life-sized board game to live. On one space, he had to refrain from crying, but almost failed when a hologram of Chi-Chi threw a gigantic needle at him. After learning from Pan that the four-star Dragon Ball was coming out of his forehead, he began to freak out and shouted, "Better be a pimple, because I am not going to the hospital! I do not wanna get a shot!"

Even in combat, Goku is shown to not be invincible, as he has two major weaknesses. The first weakness is his tail; before he conditioned himself prior to the Tien Shinhan Saga, Goku lost all his power when someone grabbed his tail (a trait that all Saiyans share at birth). The second is his ridiculous appetite; not only does he eat at a rate that would make other people lose their appetite, but if he doesn't get any food, he becomes too weak to do almost anything. This weakness was never overcome, and almost got him killed against Nuova Shenron. On the flipside, however, Goku's love for food has gotten him out of a pickle several times; for example, in the Tournament Saga, when put to sleep by Jackie Chun, Bulma was able to save his match by screaming to him that dinner was ready, to which Goku immediately woke up to break the count.

Goku seems to think very little of his brother and late father, believing them to be vicious, selfish beings like most other Saiyans, however, he never knew of his father's change of heart.
