What race is goku from Dragon Ball Z from?

Answer 1

He is a Sayan that survived other than Vegeta. When he was in the sayan's planet, his real name was Kakarot, but when his father Bardock sent him him to Earth, and Gohan found him, he named him Goku, which is why Goku named his first son Gohan. He is from the cartoon DragonBall Z and the strongest person in the whole world for some weird reason. He was trained by Master Roshi, King Kai, the cat thing, The guy that looks like Piccolo and when he was nearly killed by Frieza's self destruct he went to another planet and learnt instant transmission.

Answer 2

Trunks is vegeta and bulmas son in dbz he came from the future to warn goku about the androids and his Heart disease then he goes back to the future and in dragon ball gt he is born and he is friends/rival with goten son of goku and bulma. Trunks is a teenager in Dragon Ball GT. He is born in DBZ. The rest of the above is correct except Goten is the son of Goku and Chi Chi, not goku and bulma...

Answer 3

Right before planet Vegeta was destroyed, Goku's father sent him to destroy Earth. after he was sent to earth, Frieva destroyed Planet Vegeta and most of it's inhabitants. The earthling Goku found the Sayin Goku and raised him as his son.

Answer 4

Goku was born on planet Vegeta, the home planet of the saiyans shortly before the planet was about to expload due to frieza seeing it as a threat Bardock (Goku's Father) sent Goku in an escape pod down to earth. Alternatively another story is that Turles a character from the movie Tree of Might had sent Goku down to earth to prepare if for the tree of might but even with both story's Goku is undoubtedly from planet Vegeta.

Answer 5

Goku's original Saiyan name is Kakarrot, or Kakarrotto if you watch the Japanese version. Since Saiyan names typically are spoofs on vegetables, it may be argued that his Saiyan title is a spoof of "Carrot." This is quite ironic since he does wear an orange gi. Upon arriving on Earth as a Saiyan infant, Kakarrot was adopted by Gohan and brought up like a son. Due to a traumatic accident, Kakarrot hit his head and lost his memories. Thus he became known as Goku and considered himself an Earthling until years later when his brother Raditz (perhaps a spoof on "Radish") traveled to Earth and kidnapped his son.

Answer 6

Saiya-Jin or Saiyan. From the Planet Vegeta.
