Krillin

Krillin, known as Kuririn in Japanese, is a supporting protagonist in the Dragon Ball 
franchise. Krillin, is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama.
He is introduced in chapter #25 A Rival?, first published in Weekly Shonen Jump 
magazine on May 21, 1985, as Goku's fellow martial arts student under Kame-Sen'nin. As the 
series progresses, Krillin becomes Goku's closest ally and best friend as he fights every 
villain along with Goku or before him and is often depicted as the comic relief.


Krillin had a brief rivalry with Goku when they first met and trained under Master Roshi, but 
they quickly became lifelong best friends. One of the most powerful and talented martial 
artists on Earth, Krillin is courageous, faithful, and good-natured. He is a prominent Z 
Fighter, despite usually being overpowered by the major enemies. His short stature and baldness 
(with the exception of when he grows out his hair in the Majin Buu Saga onwards) aid him in his 
ability to provide comic relief during tense moments. During the latter half of Dragon Ball Z, 
he largely retires from fighting, opting to settle down with his family instead, becoming the 
husband of Android 18 and the father of Marron. However, he returns to his lifestyle as a 
warrior later on in Dragon Ball Super.
