Ever thought about Goku’s parents and family? Let’s know this in today’s article.

Goku’s Father :

The name of Goku’s father is Bardock who was a powerful and brave Saiyan warrior. Bardock is known for his fighting skills. He worked under the tyrant Frieza like other Saiyans who used them for his own purposes.

When Bardock learned that Frieza planned to destroy Planet Vegeta and wipe out the Saiyan race, he immediately took drastic action to save his son & send Goku to Earth in a space pod and this decision ultimately saved Goku’s life and set him on the path to becoming one of the greatest heroes in the universe.

Goku’s Mother :

The name of Goku’s mother is Gine who is a gentle and kind hearted Saiyan, different from general Saiyan nature who are considered generally more aggressive. She was also a part of Bardock’s team and they developed a deep bond that eventually led to them having Goku.

Gine’s gentle personality greatly influenced Goku as we see Goku is generally more calm compared to other Saiyans like Vegeta etc. Gine’s love and concern for Goku’s safety are what led Bardock to send him to Earth, ensuring he would grow up away from the dangers posed by Frieza and his army and this decision actually set a stage for one of the universe’s greatest fighters in Dragon Ball series.

Goku’s Brother :

Goku’s brother is known as Raditz who is a Saiyan fighter who comes to Earth in search of Goku. Unlike Goku, Raditz is much more aggressive and ruthless. When he arrived, he revealed to goku that they are both brothers and invited him to join him to conquer planets.

But when Goku refused to do so, Raditz then kidnapped Goku’s son, Gohan which actually lead to a fierce battle between two Saiyans and ultimately Goku defeated him with the help of Piccolo.
