Piccolo

ピッコロ

Piccolo is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball metaseries. He is regarded as both the son and the reincarnation of Demon King Piccolo, having been spawned to escape certain death at the hands of Son Goku. Like his father, he appears as a tall, green humanoid with pointed ears; he is later revealed to be a member of an alien race known as the Namekians.
Initially consumed by revenge against Goku, Piccolo chooses to defeat and kill him during the 23rd Budokai Tenkaichi. Following his narrow defeat by Goku, he is soon compelled to form an initially uneasy alliance with Goku and his friends to face newer, more dangerous threats such as the Saiyans and Freeza. Out of necessity, he also takes it upon himself to train Goku's son, Son Gohan, forging a bond that strengthens when he sacrifices himself to save the boy's life against Nappa. After his resurrection, he fully joins Goku and the others in their struggles against increasingly powerful villains.
Piccolo still retains elements of ruthlessness and cockiness, but once he fuses with Kami, all traces of evil and hate vanish, and he is completely reborn as a pure soul. He remains a loner, preferring to stand apart from others. He has little to say unless it involves battle, but he normally maintains his stoic and calm personality in everyday, normal situations. Piccolo has demonstrated intelligence, such as when he gathered strength to regenerate his arm after Cell had drained it, or when he chose to kill Babidi since he knew leaving him alive wouldn't solve the problem of Buu. His intelligence is even noticed by Buu, who later absorbs him for his fine brain.
Piccolo's character development involves his change from a villain hell-bent on revenge against Goku and controlling the world to becoming a better person capable of caring about others, like Gohan and Goku. He also shows some interest in learning about his Namekian heritage and has a good affinity with children, as he trained Gohan for a year, helped Goten and Trunks learn Fusion, and is even seen humorously rocking Pan to sleep in Fukkatsu no F. He also acts as a confidant for Dende, a younger Namekian tasked with watching over Earth (Piccolo is able to impart the wisdom he gained from fusing with Kami, as Kami was the previous holder of Dende's current position).
