Son Goku is the protagonist of the Dragon Ball series. He is immensely strong, pure of heart, and extremely competitive, but dedicated to defending the Earth from evil. First introduced as a young boy, Goku was originally conceived by creator Akira Toriyama as a variation of Sun Wukong, the protagonist of the Chinese novel Journey to the West; wherefore Goku also sported a prehensile tail until later.
