Son Gohan  is a half-breed Saiyan and one of the most prominent characters in the Dragon Ball series. He is the son of the series' primary protagonist Goku and his wife Chi-Chi, and the fraternal twin brother of Goten, He is named after Goku's and Zay's adoptive grandfather, Gohan. Unlike his father, Gohan wants to be a brilliant scholar and lacks a crazy passion for fighting, preferring to do so only when his loved ones are threatened. Nevertheless, he spends much of his life participating in the defense of Earth, often helping to turn the tides when the dormant depths of his power are unleashed.
