Yamcha (ヤムチャ, Yamucha) is a former bandit and one of the Earth's greatest fighters. He was once an enemy of Goku, but he eventually reformed himself and became a lifelong friend and ally of his. He was the first of the eventual Z-Fighters to meet and team up with Goku. He was once the boyfriend of Bulma, and finds a constant companion in Puar. His name is a play on "Yum cha" (literally "drinking tea"), referring to a gathering to drink tea and eat dim sum. Now married to the blue glass people girl Vidro, he now gets back into the field of martial arts. He has the distinction of being the one Z-Fighter that has known Goku the longest, even longer than Krillin. He's pretty smart and knowledgeable about the wider martial arts.
