Summary[]
Krillin (クリリン, Kuririn) is a supporting protagonist in the Dragon Ball series.
He's one of the most powerful and talented martial artists on Earth. He is courageous, faithful, and good-natured. Krillin had a brief rivalry with Goku when they first trained under Master Roshi, but they quickly became lifelong best friends, to the point that Goku cares for him as much as his family and closest ones. He is a prominent Z Fighter, despite usually being overpowered by the major enemies. His short stature and baldness aid him in his ability to provide comic relief during tense moments. During the latter half of Dragon Ball Z, he largely retires from fighting, opting to settle down with his family instead, becoming the husband of No. 18 and the father of Marron. However, he returns to his lifestyle as a warrior later on in Dragon Ball Super.
