Krillin

Krillin is a fictional character in the Anime and manga DragonBall, Dragonball Z, and Dragonball GT. Best friend of Goku, he is often used as comic relief or cannon fodder by the writers, and has been killed several times in the series. Although amazingly strong for a human, he is quickly outclassed by many of the other characters but is still fairly brave and resourceful, and the audience identifies with him as an underdog since he is goodhearted, sweet, but rather shy. He's also rather short.

In the anime, Krillin seems to have poor luck with maintaining romantic relationships, although he eventually marries the unusual but lovely Artifical Human 18 ('Android 18') after striking up an unusual relationship. They later have a daughter named Marron.

Despite popular fan belief, Krillin is not bald. It's assumed due to his training philosophy he merely shaves his head. After settling down with his new family, his hair grows out, although his original smoothcrowned look is the most familar to fans.
