The main Characters of all of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z (don't say he was not, because he was!), and Dragon Ball GT. Son Goku is said to be the strongest of the Saiyjin race. Reaching every level of Super Saiyjin possible, and defeating the Demon Lord Piccolo, winning the 23th Tenkaichi Budoukai, defeating the Red Ribbon Army, Freeza (the destroyer of his home planet) ,Majin Boo, and others (like Vegita) is how he earned this title. It is said that his strength is unmatched by any other, but his brains are matched by a rock. yet in Battle, Goku shows great intelligence and knowledge. This may jut be because of his Saiyjin blood, yet we don't see it as much with the other characters as we see it in Goku. He was the first to reach the level of Super Saiyjin and the only one to kill the Demon Lord Piccolo (piccolo Daimaou), and is credited with saving the universe a number of times. Goku has died twice, but was brought back the first time by the Dragon Balls, and the second when Kaio-shin #4 gives up his life so Goku can live again. He has only been killed by Cell and Piccolo (when holding Radditz).

Goku no longer has a tail because it was removed by Kami-sama because he wanted the moon back and he didn't want to take the chance of Goku becoming a gigantic ape again and destroying the Earth. If you have seen the Dragon Ball GT episode right before Goku goes SSJ4, you know what I mean.Goku and Chibi Goku
