Gohan

Gohan is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga and anime series created by Akira Toriyama. He is the eldest son of Son Goku and Chi-Chi and the grandson of Grandpa Gohan, after whom he is named. As a hybrid human-Saiyan, Gohan is depicted as gentle and intelligent, with a prodigious latent fighting potential that plays a central role in many storylines.

Gohan’s early life is defined by training under Piccolo and participating in major battles that shape the fate of Earth. He grows from a child in the original Dragon Ball into a key fighter in Dragon Ball Z, where he achieves significant power during the Android and Cell sagas. He first attains Super Saiyan 2 during the Cell Games, a defining moment that establishes him as one of the strongest fighters of his generation. In the Majin Buu saga, the Elder Kai unlocks his latent potential, giving rise to Mystic Gohan, an enhanced form that does not require transformation to deliver high power.

Beyond fighting, Gohan develops a life focused on family and study. He marries Videl, the daughter of Mr. Satan, and they have a daughter named Pan. He also adopts the alias of the Great Saiyaman to protect his identity while performing heroics. His emphasis on education and scholarly pursuits contrasts with his battle-focused heritage, though he remains a capable fighter.

In Dragon Ball Super, Gohan continues to balance personal responsibilities with occasional combat duties. He participates in Universe 7’s Tournament of Power, where his tactical mind and enduring power contribute to battles on a cosmic stage. Gohan is widely recognized for his intelligence, moral resolve, and the potential that surfaces when he is pushed to his limits.
