Piccolo is a fictional character from the Animes Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball
Z and Dragon Ball GT. He is a Namekian.
Piccolo originated on Planet Namek, but was sent to Earth by himself as a
child. Being completely alone he was psychologically scarred by the
tumultuous incidents and wars on the Earth.
The internal torment Piccolo suffered caused him to split into two
people. One contained the good attributes, this became Kami the guardian of
Earth. The stronger, more evil part retained the name Piccolo.
Piccolo was determined to take over the Earth, his only real competition
on the planet was Goku, also not originally from Earth.
In Dragon Ball Z, at the time Raditz came to Earth in order to retrieve
Goku. Piccolo joins forces with Goku and the other Z Fighters, in order to
defeat their common enemy. Goku sacrifices himself to defeat Raditz, Piccolo
firing the fatal shot.
Piccolo takes Goku's son, Gohan, to train him to defeat the new lot of
Saiyans who were going to come to Earth in the near future. His training
style is very rough, and forces Gohan to fend for himself. Piccolo spars
with Gohan violently. The two develop a close relationship.
To increase in strength, Piccolo fuses with Nail while on Namek to better
fight Frieza. He later re-fuses with Kami to become more powerful, when it
is necessary to defeat the Android Cell.
Piccolo stays on Earth instead of going back to Namek, as he does not
feel a part of that planet. By staying on Earth he can watch over Gohan
while his father is away.
