- Epic Backstory:

Goku was named Kakarot at birth by his father Bardock. In the manga, Kakarot was born on Planet Vegeta three years before its destruction, while in the anime he was born shortly before the destruction of the planet. When Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, Kakarot survived as he was being sent to Earth on a routine infiltration mission to destroy all life on the planet in order to sell it. After landing on Earth, the young Saiyan was found in the woods by an old man named Gohan and became his adopted grandson. Grandpa Gohan names him "Son Goku".

Kakarot had been inside his incubation chamber for three years since his birth when his father
Bardock and his mother
Gine decide to release him. Bardock makes the decision to send Kakarot away to
Earth in an
Attack Ball since he is worried about
Frieza's ambitions. Frieza
destroys Planet Vegeta a month after Kakarot has been sent away. Days later after being sent to Earth, Kakarot lands in
Mount Paozu.
While there, he is found by an elderly man,
Gohan. He takes him in and feeds the newly found alien. Kakarot is eating when he is given the name "Son Goku". While Kakarot seems somewhat placated by the food, Grandpa Gohan notes his lack of manners as he stands upon the table to eat rather than sit in the nearby empty chair. It is also implied by Grandpa Gohan's statements that the two briefly fought when they first met, though Grandpa Gohan was apparently able to prevail, due to him being a more experienced
martial artist than the young low class
Saiyan.
At first, Goku was extremely violent and ill-tempered, not obeying
Gohan at all, but one day he fell down a deep ravine and hit his head, suffering severe head trauma that sent him into a coma and very nearly killed him and caused him to suffer long-term amnesia. After he woke up, he had lost all of his Saiyan aggression due to not remembering his mission, becoming a kind and mild-mannered young boy.
[1] His Grandpa Gohan taught him
martial arts and told him about such things as the city and people, as they lived in a very remote place in
Mount Paozu, with no communication with other people.

Gohan one day discovered Goku's full
moon transformation, and thus told him to never look at the full moon. However, one-night Goku did, and he transformed into a
Great Ape, causing him to unknowingly kill Gohan. After his grandpa's death, Goku stayed at his home, carrying out his daily life of survival. From a young age, Goku developed a prediction that his birth parents abandoned him in the mountains as a baby, leaving him for Grandpa Gohan to discover.
Gok

u is introduced in the
Dragon Ball manga and anime at 12 years of age
[3] (initially, he claims to be 14,
[2] but it is later clarified during the
Tournament Saga that this is because Goku had trouble counting), as a young boy living in obscurity on Mount Paozu. Goku owns the
Power Pole and the
four-star Dragon Ball, inheritances from his grandfather. One day, after doing his daily chores, Goku is hit by a
car when on his way home after catching a
Giant Fish. Having never seen a car before, he assumes it is a monster attacking him. When the driver shoots Goku with a
gun, she becomes scared after seeing that it hardly does any damage and surrenders, revealing herself to be a Human girl, named
Bulma. Goku states that he has never seen a girl before and that the only human he has seen in his life is his deceased
grandfather.
Goku takes Bulma to
his house, where she ends up discovering his four-star Dragon Ball. However, Goku does not want Bulma touching it since it is precious to him, so Bulma decides to let Goku to join her on a quest to collect all seven Dragon Balls to summon the Dragon, not revealing to him that the Dragon Balls would be scattered across the Earth once they succeeded.
[4] Later that night, when camping in Bulma's
Capsule House, Goku is introduced to various technology such as
Television, lights and even a
bath.
Early the next morning, Goku is surprised when he learns a bit about the anatomy of women after he takes Bulma's
underwear off while she is sleeping.
[5] Later that morning, Goku meets
Turtle, whom he decides to take back to the ocean, forcing Bulma to come along. After defeating a
Bear Thief who wants to eat the turtle, they make it to the beach, where he meets his future master, the turtle hermit,
Master Roshi.
[6] When the turtle hermit meets them, he rewards Goku with a flying cloud called the
Flying Nimbus, that only allows people of pure heart to ride it, with which Goku has no difficulty. Bulma also receives the three-star Dragon Ball out of this, in exchange for showing the old horn-dog her underwear (however, she is actually nude, because Goku had pulled them off the night before).
T

hree days later, Goku and Bulma end up in
Aru Village, which is under control by an evil shapeshifter named
Oolong, who kidnaps the villagers' daughters.
[7] After Goku fails to impersonate
Pochawompa in an attempt to find the location of Oolong's hideout, he decides to face Oolong head on. After chasing him outside the village, Goku manages to capture him, forcing Oolong to give the villagers back their daughters. Afterward, they are rewarded the six star Dragon Ball and Oolong is forced to join Goku and Bulma on their quest.
[7] While crossing the
Diablo Desert on their way to
Fire Mountain, Goku fights a bandit named
Yamcha, who is friends with a former classmate of Oolong, named
Puar.
[8] Goku and Yamcha have a duel, and Yamcha is surprised when Goku brings out his Power Pole, learning that he is the grandson of the legendary martial artist,
Gohan. After nearly losing to Yamcha's
Wolf Fang Fist due to hunger, Bulma awakens, causing Yamcha to flee due to of his fear of women. Later that night, Goku and the others stay the night in Oolong's
House-Wagon, where Goku tells Oolong about the Dragon Balls while Yamcha and Puar hide outside and listen, also learning of the mystical spheres.
[9] The next morning, Goku fights Yamcha again after he destroys the House-Wagon and attempts to rob them. Goku knocks out his opponent's tooth and Yamcha, in a false display of apology, gives them a car that secretly has a tracking device for him to follow them.
Two days later,
the gang ends up at
Fire Mountain, where Goku ends up fighting the
Ox-King after he attempts to kill Bulma a

nd Oolong.
[10] After Goku summons the Flying Nimbus, the Ox-King stops fighting and tells Goku that the man who gave Goku that cloud is the same master that taught him. In an effort to douse the fire surrounding the Ox-King's castle at the top of the mountain, Goku is sent to retrieve the
Bansho Fan from Master Roshi after picking up the Ox-King's daughter,
Chi-Chi. When they arrive at
Master Roshi's Island, he tells them that he accidentally threw the fan out and decides to come there himself and put out the flames. When they get back to Fire Mountain, Master Roshi uses a technique called the
Kamehameha to put out the flames, unfortunately destroying the mountain as well.
[11] Much to Master Roshi's surprise, Goku immediately imitates the wave and makes one big enough to destroy their car. While Bulma and Oolong find the Dragon Ball in the rubble, Master Roshi asks that Goku trains with him after finishing his quest for the Dragon Balls.
When they wake up,
Emperor Pilaf summons
Shenron and tries to use the wish to rule the world, but his plan is foiled when Oolong interferes and wishes for a pair of panties after getting out from a small hole made by Goku's Kamehameha.
[15] After trying to escape, the gang is placed into a special cell that will fry them when the sun comes out. Goku ends up looking at the full moon that night, causing him to turn into a
Great Ape and destroy the cell along with the rest of Pilaf's castle. Seeing Goku out of control in the ape form, Yamcha grabs Goku's tail and has Puar turn into a pair of scissors to cut Goku's tail off, causing him to revert to his normal form. The next morning, Oolong begins to speculate that Goku is not a human, raising the question of whether he is "
some kinda space alien."
[16] Declining the offer of his new friends to come with them to
West City, Goku bids them goodbye to train with Roshi. While flying off on the Nimbus, Goku cheerfully says the world is an amazing place.
Tournament Saga
Main article: Tournament SagaAfter finishing his quest for the Dragon Balls, Goku leaves Bulma and the others in order to train with Master Roshi. Roshi agrees to train Goku, but only if he finds him a pretty girl.
[17] After failing to bring him a decent girl, another wannabe student named
Krillin arrives on the island, also wanting to train under Roshi, and assists Goku. After Goku fights off some
Police officers, while Krillin cowers behind him, they finally return with a girl with a split personality named
Launch.
[18]
Goku and Krillin training with Master Roshi
Satisfied with Launch, Roshi then brings Goku and Krillin to his special
Training Island to train them.
[19] They are put through very strange training that seems like it has nothing to do with martial arts, such as milk delivering to increase stamina, construction work for strength, swimming away from killer sharks, dodging bee stings, all while wearing very heavy
Turtle Shells.
[20] After the hard work, the two develop into two of the most powerful fighters on Earth. The huge boulder Roshi showed the boys much earlier they could not push, they can now push, much to Roshi's surprise. After eight months of training, Roshi brings them to
Papaya Island to compete in the
21st World Martial Arts Tournament to test their training.
[21] Upon their arrival, Goku is reunited with his friends Bulma, Yamcha, Oolong and Puar. Goku gets through the elimination rounds easily without even trying (even he is surprised at his remarkable new power) and makes it to the main tournament.
[22]
Goku vs. Jackie Chun in the final round
In the tournament, he is put up against a
Gira named
Giran in the quarterfinals. Goku struggles with the beast when he is trapped in Giran's
Merry-Go-Round Gum, but his tail grows back causing him to break free and win the match, with Giran forfeiting from being scared of the young boy's power.
[23] In the semifinals he is put up against a warrior named
Nam. Goku and Nam take the battle into the air, and each is almost knocked off the ring. Just before Goku is knocked out by Nam's
Cross Arm Dive, Goku dodges and kicks him out of the ring.
[24] In the final round Goku battles with defending Champion Jackie Chun (really Master Roshi in disguise).
[25] During the battle, Goku turns back into a Great Ape and starts destroying the stadium. Jackie Chun who cannot leave the arena because they are still fighting destroys the Moon to revert Goku to his normal form.
[26] The two continue their match, both losing their energy at a rapid rate. Goku ends up losing the match and learns that he should always continue to train because there are always people out there who are more powerful.
[27]
Red Ribbon Army Saga

Goku vs. Colonel Silver
After coming runner up in the
World Martial Arts Tournament, Goku is told by Master Roshi that he should go out and see the world, and Goku decides that he will use this opportunity to search of his grandfather's Four-Star Dragon Ball.
[28] At the beginning of his quest he helps save
Nam's Village by accompanying him to
Giran's Village in order to get the river flowing again.
[28] After completing this task, he decides to go skinny dipping in an oasis where he gets his
Dragon Radar stolen by a homeless kid that sells it to an
Antique Store in a nearby town. Once Goku gets there and gets his radar back, he confronts Emperor Pilaf, who is holding the four-star Dragon Ball. After chasing Pilaf to his
flying fortress, Goku receives the ball finding out that it is fake.
[29] While following the radar's signal he ends up meeting back up with
Chi-Chi who had a wedding prepared for them.
[30] Goku and Chi-Chi quickly go together back to the
Ox-King's Village to find that an organization called the
Red Ribbon Army has attacked.
[31] Goku and Chi-Chi fight off the troops until they fled. Goku leaves Chi-Chi and the Ox-King in a hurry to go and chase them. He ends up in the Desert where he gets into Pilaf's flying fortress while the Red Ribbon Army was attacking it. After Pilaf's fortress is destroyed, Goku is caught in the explosion and wakes up in a forest where he meets a family of
monkeys. After Goku finds the Dragon Ball, he battles
Colonel Silver, who destroyed his Flying Nimbus. Goku easily defeats Silver and knocks him out with his tail.
[32]

After seeing that the Dragon Ball he found was not his grandfather's Four-Star Ball, he has one of the army's auto pilot droids fly him to the next Dragon Ball. The plane crashes when the droid freezes, and Goku freezes, unable to move.
[33] He is then taken to
Jingle Village by a girl named
Suno. When he awakens, he hears that the Red Ribbon Army is there as well. Goku goes to their closest base known as
Muscle Tower. Once he gets in he easily takes out three soldiers and then battles an android known as
Major Metallitron.
[34] Goku wins the battle when Metallitron's batteries die and proceeds to the next floor where he fights the
Ninja Murasaki. Goku easily defeats Murasaki and humiliates him, an example when Murasaki lands on Goku's Power Pole. Goku proves to be a difficult match for Murasaki and even
his brothers, so he resorts to releasing
Android 8.
[35] Android 8 ends up befriending Goku instead of fighting him because he dislikes violence, allowing Goku to reach the top of Muscle Tower.
General White, the commander of the tower resorts to having his pet monster
Buyon eat them, but the creature gets frozen and destroyed. General White is defeated and Goku saves the
Jingle Village Chief while obtaining another Dragon Ball that Android 8 was hiding from the army.
