MASTER ROSHI
MR
The originator of the iconic Kamehameha wave and the martial arts master who started it all. Even though the power scaling of the Z era quickly left him hanging out at Kame House watching workout tapes, Roshi's teachings are the foundation of everything Goku and Krillin achieved. He's the legendary, deeply flawed sensei who passed the torch to the next generation of Earth's defenders.
