Bulma
is a fictional character in the ''Dragon Ball'' manga series created by Akira Toriyama. She makes her debut appearance in the first chapter , published in ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' magazine on December 3, 1984,〔''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' #51 December 3, 1984〕 meeting Goku and recruiting him as her bodyguard to travel and find the wish-granting Dragon Balls. Bulma is the daughter of Dr. Briefs; the founder of Capsule Corporation, a company that creates special small capsules that shrink and hold objects of various sizes for easy storage. Being the daughter of a brilliant scientist, Bulma is also a scientific genius, as well as an inventor and engineer. Along with creating the Dragon Radar, a device that detects the energy signal emitted by a Dragon Ball, Bulma's role as an inventor becomes important at several points in the series; including the time machine that brings her future son Trunks to the past.
==Creation and design==
Bulma is loosely based on the character Xuanzang from the Chinese classic novel ''Journey to the West''. Bulma and Goku were the first pair of characters which were introduced in the manga and Toriyama stated that he subsequently introduced other characters in pairs because "that way, I’m able to explain the characters and their relationship to each other through their interactions. In my case, I feel that it isn’t good to insert too much narration. I suppose Goku and Bulma are representative of that." He further added that "as a child, Goku doesn’t know anything (the world ), so without Bulma, he’d be a character who didn’t say anything." The author also claimed that when the series started, his editor at the time, Kazuhiko Torishima, wanted Bulma and Goku to form a romantic relationship.
Bulma's appearance in the series is not as consistent as the other characters as she quite often changes her hair style and clothing being fashion-conscious. Her hair is usually depicted in a shade of fuchsia, although in the first chapter and the anime her hair is turquoise. When asked about the first time Bulma's hair style changed, Toriyama said it was to show that three years had passed and because he personally liked girls with short hair. She sometimes wears clothing with either her name on it or the Capsule Corporation logo.〔
Her name "Buruma" is the Japanese pronunciation of "bloomer", a type of gym shorts worn by Japanese girls at school.〔 As with most characters in the ''Dragon Ball'' series, Bulma's name is consistent with those of the rest of her family. All of Bulma's family members are named after underclothing of some sort.〔 Her father's name is Dr. Briefs, while her son and daughter are named Trunks and respectively. Her mother is never named in the series, being referred to only as . However, when asked in 1996 what name he would choose if he were to name her mother, Toriyama suggested , a pun on panties. Toriyama stated in an interview that Bulma's family has a "laissez-faire attitude, but Bulma has complete control over things."
