is a fictional character in the ''Dragon Ball'' manga series created by Akira Toriyama. She and her brother, Android 17, were forcibly turned into cyborgs by Dr. Gero to serve his vendetta against Son Goku. The present-timeline version of the character has very little to no interest in fulfilling Gero's orders and becomes a supporting character in the series. In the alternate-timeline, Android 18 is a ruthless killer that has a reign of terror along with Android 17 over Earth that last for twenty years until they are destroyed by Trunks. == Creation and design == Android #18, along with Android #17, were conceived after Akira Toriyama's former editor Kazuhiko Torishima expressed disapproval with Androids #19 and #20 as villains. Following their introduction into the series, Torishima soon afterward became dissatisfied with her and #17 as well, resulting in the creation of Cell.

Yūsuke Watanabe, who wrote the screenplay for the film ''Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods'', had originally written the film to take place at Android #18 and Kuririn's wedding, but Akira Toriyama wrote it to take place at Bulma's birthday party.
