Bulma

ブルマ

Bulma starts as a secondary main character, but her role is quickly minimized as the series progresses, even though she remains an important support character for most of it. Bulma is a direct parody of Xuanzang from the Chinese novel Journey to the West. Although Bulma's character parodies a monk, her Japanese name "Buruma" refers to a brand of popular gym shorts worn by girls in Japan. Her adapted name, Bulma, is a direct take on the word "bloomers," which was a popular brand of women's underwear in the early 20th century.
Bulma is the second character introduced in the Dragon Ball series. In the early part of the story, she invents the Dragon Radar and searches for the legendary Dragon Balls. Bulma hopes to use the Dragon Balls to wish for the perfect boyfriend. While searching for a nearby Dragon Ball, she runs into Son Goku. At this time, she discovers that Goku inherited one of the balls (the four-star ball) she is searching for from his Grandpa Gohan. Because of Goku's love for the ball and his belief that his Grandpa's spirit lives in it, Goku is not willing to give it up. Bulma then asks him to loan it to her in exchange for taking him along on her travels. At that point, they team up to find the remainder of the balls, and the adventure begins. In the later action-oriented episodes of the series, there is little room for a genius, but Bulma continues to play a role as a secondary character, helping Goku and his friends with her gadgets, and having a rather rocky relationship with Yamcha.
