Kulilin

Background/History: Kulilin is Son Goku's best friend, and one of the best (all around) characters in Dragon Ball Z. He first appears very early in the series, as a young monk who wishes to learn fighting arts from Kame-sennin (and thus, improve his self-image). Initially, Kulilin is a bit of a jerk, who bribes Kame-sennin with adult magazines and cheats in several contests. This attitude is quickly replaced by a more "pure" work ethic and he and Goku soon become excellent students of Kame-sennin, surpassing even the old master's expectations.

With time, Kulilin will age and grow up (literally), although he will always be one of the shortest Z fighters (and characters for that matter). He is a close friend of Son Gohan, and hangs out with him quite a bit. Kulilin is also one of the more unlucky cast members, dying at least three times during the series. His second death, at the hands of Freezer, is probably his most "important" as this is action that pushes Son Goku to hit Super-Saiyajin Level 1 (and kick Freezer's tail something fierce). Eventually, he will marry Android (or Cyborg) #18 and raise a daughter, Marrion.

Kulilin's name has more variations that anyone else's in the series (except maybe Beedel). Toriyama writes Kulilin and Kuririn in English in the manga. I am using Kulilin since that is the first English version I could find. I have seen other versions for his name as well.

Personality/Motivation: Kulilin starts out as Son Goku's rival, although this rivalry is never very serious. Goku and Kulilin quickly become close friends, and train together as students of Kame-sennin for most of the series. As the shortest cast member, Kulilin seems to be the butt of many jokes and slapstick scenes. In the movies, he is often the first to get trashed by an opponent (hence, his Unluck). He also has been killed more times than anyone else in the series (3 to be exact—Demon King Piccolo, Freezer, and Majin Buu).

Kulilin has an interesting Code vs Killing. Although he is more than willing to destroy "monsters," he is less than eager to kill a "human" opponent. He can't bring himself to run Vegita through with Yarijobee's sword for example, even though Vegita was responsible for the deaths of Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Chao-zu, and Piccolo (not to mention smashing Son Goku and Son Gohan around). He also can't bring himself to use the self-destruct switch and destroy Android #18. Instead, he destroys the switch itself (and eventually marries #18, but that's a different story). On the other hand, against people like Cell and Freezer, who are obviously evil to the core, Kulilin will use his powers to their fullest extent.

Kulilin can also be suckered by a pretty face. We see this several times in both the manga and in the movies. Any highly attractive female performing a PRE attack on Kulilin should get a few extra dice!

Powers/Tactics: Kulilin has a number of potent chi powers, most of which are variations on powers used by other people. He is a skilled fighter, and can hold his own against most opponents. As with all other major characters, he can fly, sense one's chi, leap great distances, and move faster than the eye can follow. He can also perform Son Goku's "Invisible Jumping" trick (Or, he should be able to, since Goku said he would teach it to him.) and leave after images of himself behind while moving. Finally, Kulilin also has a number of powerful chi energy powers. They are:

Appearance: Kulilin is short, standing no taller than 5' in height. He has a very strong build and is a powerful fighter. He is bald, with no nose and six small dots mark his forehead. Toward the end of the series, Kulilin lets his hair grow out and stops placing the dots on his forehead. Up until the Cell Game, Kulilin wears the standard orange ghi that marks students of Kamesennin, afterwards he dresses in more Western clothing.
