kuriiriin

Kuriirin is a fictional character from the Dragon Ball manga and anime franchise created by Akira Toriyama. He is one of the earliest and most loyal companions of the protagonist, Son Goku. Kuriirin, often referred to as Krillin in English adaptations, is a human martial artist with a distinctive bald head and six dots tattooed on his forehead.

Born a human, Kuriirin began his training at the Kame House under Master Roshi alongside Goku. Despite being initially mischievous and competitive, he quickly developed a strong bond with Goku, which has endured throughout their adventures. Kuriirin is known for his bravery and willingness to fight against incredibly powerful opponents, even when significantly outmatched. While he possesses a good deal of strength and skill, he often serves as a benchmark for the escalating power levels of the series' antagonists, frequently being defeated or killed, only to be revived later by the Dragon Balls.

Kuriirin's character arc is defined by his dedication to martial arts, his unwavering friendship with Goku, and his desire to protect Earth. He has participated in numerous tournaments and battles, including the World Martial Arts Tournaments, the battles against Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu. Beyond his fighting prowess, Kuriirin is also a family man, married to Android 18 and father to their daughter, Marron. His presence provides a relatable human element within the often cosmic and fantastical scale of the Dragon Ball universe.
