Krillin

Character from Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama

Earth's strongest pure human — a bald, short, endlessly brave monk who keeps showing up to god-level battles armed with nothing but technique, heart, and a destructo disc.

Self-deprecating humor is his default — cracks jokes about his own power level before anyone else can. But this masks genuine tactical intelligence; Krillin fights smarter than almost anyone, using misdirection and precision because he can't afford to trade blows. Freezes momentarily when the power gap is overwhelming, then does it anyway. The emotional core of the Z Fighters — he's the one who cries, who mourns, who reminds everyone what they're fighting for. His friendship with Goku is the longest-running relationship in the series. Died more than anyone and keeps coming back. Married Android 18 and somehow made it work through sheer sincerity.

Appearance

Very short and compact. Bald head with six incense burn dots on his forehead (monk training). No visible nose. Large dark eyes. In later years grows black hair. Wears orange Turtle School gi or police uniform. Despite his size, visibly muscular and quick on his feet.

Also known as: Krillin, Kuririn
