Toriyama Akira, the character of the first Dragon BallThere were many characters in Akira Toriyama's first Dragon Ball. The following were some of the main characters:
- [Wukong: A Saiyan from Planet Vegeta. He was sent to Earth as a "low-level warrior" when he was young. He was adopted by Sun Wufan and named "Sun Wukong."] He embarked on an adventurous journey to collect dragon balls and constantly fought against powerful enemies. After cultivating, his strength continued to increase. For example, after drinking the super divine water, his strength increased greatly. He gradually grew up in the battle with Demon King Bick and the others.
- ** Demon King Bick **: The dark side of the immortal. He ruled the world twice and was very powerful. His full-power attack had the power of a nuclear bomb. His strength was comparable to Goku's after drinking the super magical water. The Bick (Flute Demon Child) left behind after his death also played an important role in the follow-up story.
- [Immortal: He created the Dragon Pearl on Earth. In order to become a Heavenly God on Earth, he forced out the evil part of his body to become the Great Demon King Bick. He is relatively powerful. He can flick away Little Goku, who defeated the Great Demon King Bick, with one finger. He can also revive the Divine Dragon with a divine light.]
- [Mr. Bobo: The oldest person on Earth. He has served several generations of deities. He can easily defeat Goku, who defeated Old Peeker. He can also take on Gotsu and Trakus, who have transformed into Super Saiyans.]
- [Tianjin Rice]: A mixed-blood descendant of a Three-Eyed Human and an Earthling. He has three eyes and can see the fastest movement, the evil energy of the demon race, and the Afterimage Fist. He is the inventor of many moves, such as the Sun Fist and the New Qi Cannon. He has received guidance from Tao Baibai and Immortal Crane, and has extraordinary strength.
- [Cat Immortal: Non-combatant, but Wukong wanted to learn martial arts from Demon King Bick the first time after he was defeated. It can be seen that Wukong's strength is above Turtle Hermit and the others.]
- ** Turtle Hermit **: He was an early martial arts enlighterer of Goku. Although his strength was gradually surpassed as the story developed, he was once a relatively powerful martial artist.
- [Aquilobe: The benefactor of Wukong's life. In the early stages of the Bick Demon King chapter, he was able to fight Wukong on par.]
- [** Big Drum **: The third demon born from the Great Demon King Bick. As he was born from the recovered youth of Bick, his strength was stronger than his two brothers. He could easily defeat Tien Jin Fan who had 180+ combat power. However, he was kicked to death by Goku who had 260 combat power.]
