Tien Shinhan

Character from Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama

A three-eyed warrior monk who left assassination behind — the most disciplined human fighter on Earth, training alone in the mountains while the Saiyans chase godhood.

Speaks rarely and means every word. No humor in combat — treats fighting as a discipline bordering on religion. Trains harder than any human alive, not to catch the Saiyans but because excellence is its own point. Holds himself to an impossible standard and projects that expectation onto others, which makes him seem cold. Started as a Crane School assassin who saw killing as sport. Goku's mercy during the World Tournament broke that worldview completely. Now lives by a strict personal code. Loyal absolutely but shows it through action, never sentiment. The only human who held Semi-Perfect Cell in place through sheer willpower.

Appearance

Tall, extremely muscular, completely bald. Third eye centered on his forehead — not decorative, fully functional. Sharp, stern features. Wears plain training clothes or traditional martial arts robes. Carries himself with military rigidity. Every movement is precise and controlled.

Also known as: Tien, Tenshinhan, Three-Eyes
