Son Goku (孫そん悟空ごくう Son Gokū), born Kakarot (カカロット Kakarotto), is a Saiyan raised

on Earth and the overall main protagonist of the Dragon Ball series. Kakarot originally was sent to
destroy Earth as an infant, there he would be adopted by Grandpa Gohan who named him Son
Goku. A head injury at an early age alters Goku's memory, ridding him of his initial destructive
nature and allowing him to grow up to become one of Earth's greatest defenders. He constantly
strives and trains to be the greatest warrior possible, which has kept the Earth and the universe safe
from destruction many times.[22]

Goku looks almost exactly like his father, possessing the same spiky black hairstyle, dark-colored
eyes, and facial features. However, he has softer eyes, a kind demeanor, and a lighter-pale skin
complexion from his mother. Goku's most distinguishing physical characteristic is his hair. He has
three bangs hanging to the right of his forehead and two bangs hanging to the left. His hair also
stands up in the front with four spikes and three bangs in the back (later in the anime, he has five
spikes in the front and four in the back). Goku was born with the signature tail of the Universe 7
Saiyans, which was long and prehensile with brown fur. It was removed and regrown multiple times
in his early childhood, but in his late teens, Goku's tail was permanently removed by Kami in order to
prevent his Great Ape transformation.

At age 12, Goku was rather short and appeared even younger than he was, being considered less
than 10 years old (people were surprised when learning his actual age). His somewhat simple-
minded personality also gave people the impression that he was as young as he looked. During the
next few years, Goku did not go through any physical changes, other than his muscles becoming
more pronounced. By age 15, he began showing noticeable increases in height. By age 18, he had a
considerable growth spurt, growing taller than most of his friends and developing a well-built
physique. He is also considered very handsome, as noted by various women including Bulma and
Heles. His physical changes made him almost indistinguishable from before and was only recognized
by his signature naïve personality and "trademark" hairstyle. By age 25, Goku had another growth
spurt, and became similar in height to his taller human allies and much more muscular.

Due to his love of training, he is most commonly seen wearing a Gi. Originally, Goku wore an open
blue gi secured with a white bow-tied obi over his waist, red wristbands, and dark blue kung fu shoes
and also a tank top. After training under Master Roshi, Goku wore the basic Turtle School Uniform;
consisting of a closed red gi (later orange) secured by a black knot-tied obi over his waist, blue
wristbands, and blue kung fu shoes, with Roshi's kanji on the back and front-left side of his shirt.
After training with Kami and Mr. Popo, Goku wore a black short-sleeved undershirt (later dark blue)
with this gi and replaced his shoes with dark blue boots with a yellow border and red laces. After
training under King Kai, Goku wore King Kai's kanji on the back of his gi shirt. During the Battle on
Planet Namek, Goku wore his own kanji on both sides of his gi shirt. During the Android conflict and
Majin Buu conflict, Goku wore a more plain version of this gi that lacked any kanji and featured a
blue sash-style obi over his waist, as well as the same dark blue undershirt, same wristbands and the
same boots from his previous gi, but with a red border and yellow/tan laces. He later retains this
outfit throughout most of Dragon Ball Super as he regains his own kanji on both sides of his gi shirt.

During his early training under Whis, Goku wore an orange traditional and loose gi, with Whis' kanji
on the front-left of his shirt, that was secured together with a blue obi tied in a knot at the left of his
waist. He also wore blue wristbands that cover nearly his entire forearms and blue boots that clasp
together on the front of his shins.

In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Goku returns to wearing a knot-style obi with his regular uniform and
"Go" kanji (essentially regaining his Frieza Saga appearance). In addition, to compensate for the
wintery climate he is on, he also wears a long blue snow jacket with a high turtleneck, white stripes
down his shoulders and arms and bold purple letters of "SAB" over the front-left side of it. It also has
black gloves. In the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, Goku is given the emblem of the Galactic Patrol in
place of his own on the front of his uniform and also switches back to wearing a sash-style obi. In the
Granolah the Survivor Saga, Goku regains Whis' kanji on his standard gi when the angel trains him in
honing Ultra Instinct.

Goku in the Prison Planet Saga

1/3

When he appears in the Prison Planet Saga, Goku wears an outfit identical to the one Whis gave him,
but instead with a Capsule Corp logo. He also wears his blue shirt underneath the gi. In the Universal
Conflict Saga, he wears an outfit identical to the Grand Minister's. The attire consists of a dark blue
long-sleeved shirt with an orange circle over the chest, with baggy shoulder pads that runs beneath
his red-colored belt with his kanji on the round belt-buckle. The shirt is complimented by a matching
color pair of jodhpur-like pants, and white boots that run beneath his shins.

In the Universe Creation Saga, Goku's attire is the same from the previous arc but this time, it has a
lighter tone of orange and the blue undershirt, tied-belt, wristbands and boots are now replaced
with a lighter black color. later on, in the New Space-Time War Saga, after being released from the
Demon's Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Goku returns with Vegeta with the Dark Empire's logo imprinted
on his gi.

By the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament, Goku wears a turquoise gi with a white knot-style obi,
orange wristbands, dark green pants, and black kung fu shoes with orange stockings. In the cover of
the Goodbye, Dragon World volume of the manga, this outfit's color is different. The gi is lime green,
his wristbands are purple, his pants are cyan, and he wears the boots from his previous outfit, albeit
purple.

Despite his fighting gi being his preferred look, Goku is not without other types of wardrobe, such as
a suit and tie,[32] casual clothes like blue pants with a button-down red shirt, or an orange and black
jacket with a white sleeveless undershirt, light green pants and brown shoes. When returning home
to prepare for the androids, Goku wore a outfit similar to one from his youth; a white tank top with
periwinkle Chinese pants with a white sash and purplish brown toe shoes and white socks. His
farmer attire consists of light beige collared denim jacket with a white scarf around his neck and a
charcoal gray short sleeved undershirt, light beige pants with a black belt around his waist and black
boots. The sleeves on his jacket has been folded into white cuffs.

In Dragon Ball GT. Goku's skin tone got a noticeable tan. His general outfit is a blue gi with a white
knot-style obi, pink wristbands, ochre pants, and black kung fu shoes with white stockings, which
overall is very similar to his outfit at the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament. Due to the
carelessness of Emperor Pilaf, Goku was wished back into a 12-year-old. While essentially looking
the same as he did back then, Goku showed considerably more defined muscle. Later, with the aid of
Old Kai, Goku regenerates his tail, which would poke out from his pants. 100 years later at the 64th
World Martial Arts Tournament, despite growing back to his physical prime without transforming, he
was not still seen with his tail. However, in one ending, he is seen with a tail in adult form. During
which, he wears the outfit from the 28th Martial Arts Tournament. He also wears his Power Pole
again.

When re-grown up, GT Goku appears in the Adventure Mode of Extreme Butōden, he wears his
classic outfit from Dragon Ball Super. In Dragon Ball Minus, an infant Goku was seen wearing a
standard Battle Armor of the Frieza Army when being sent to Earth. It is a full body model with a
dark-colored chest protection and light-colored outward-pointing pads on his shoulders and at the
hips that hang over his upper legs. He also wore dark jumpsuit shorts and light boots with dark
legging and also dark armguards.
