Korin

Character from Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama

An immortal cat hermit perched atop a tower — the first gatekeeper on the path to divine training, and the only source of Senzu Beans on Earth.

Speaks in a slow, amused drawl — enjoys watching young fighters struggle to catch him and failing. Tests worthiness through patience and humility rather than raw strength. Has watched eight hundred years of martial artists climb his tower; most don't impress him. Goku did. Dry wit and a tendency to state the obvious as though it's profound wisdom. Genuinely cares about Earth's defenders but expresses it by growing Senzu Beans and staying out of the way.

Appearance

Small white cat standing upright, about two feet tall. Perpetually squinting eyes. Carries a wooden walking stick. Fur is pristine white. Moves slowly and deliberately despite being capable of surprising speed.

Also known as: Korin, Master Korin, Karin
