Piccolo (Dragon Ball)
is a fictional character in the ''Dragon Ball'' manga series created by Akira Toriyama. He is first seen as the reincarnation of the evil Piccolo Daimao in chapter #161 , published in ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' magazine on February 22, 1988,〔''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' #11 February 22, 1988〕 making him a demon and archrival of the protagonist Goku. However, it is later revealed that he is a member of the extraterrestrial race called Namekians, those able to create the series' titular wish-granting Dragon Balls. After losing to Goku, Piccolo decides to team up with him and his friends in order to defeat newer, more dangerous threats. He also trains Goku's first child Gohan in martial arts, with the two forming a strong bond.
==Creation and design==
Piccolo, more specifically his parent Piccolo Daimao, was created by Toriyama as he wanted to have a villain who would be a true "bad guy." Prior to their creation, nearly all his previous villains in the series were considered too likable. After creating Piccolo Daimao, he noted that it was one of the most interesting parts of the series and that he became one of his favorite characters. Although Piccolo's transformation from a villain to a hero was considered by Toriyama to be cliché, he still felt excited when drawing him, noting that despite having a scary face, he still looks appealing. Toriyama stated that he never thought of making Piccolo an alien until Kami was introduced. But afterwards he did try to make it consistent, such as drawing the Namekian architecture similar to the throne Piccolo Daimao had. Piccolo is initially assumed to, like his parent, be a member of the , however, mid-way through the series it is learned that they are actually members of the alien race called . He inherits his name from his parent, which, like those of his parent's minions, is a pun on a musical instrument; in his case the Piccolo. Just before characters travel to his home planet, it is revealed that Piccolo's name means "Different World" in the Namekian language.〔''Dragon Ball Z'' manga, volume 5, chapter 50〕
When Piccolo Daimao was introduced in chapter #135 first published in ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' on August 10, 1987,〔''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' #35 August 10, 1987〕 he was designed to appear as a strange-looking divine creature, who had pointy ears, antennae, fangs and four-fingers. Like all Namekians, he is hairless with green skin, aside from their shoulders, biceps, and forearm areas, which are light yellow. In the anime adaptations, this area is pink instead and all Namekians have an additional fifth finger on each hand. The audience is later introduced to Kami, who is Piccolo Daimao's good counterpart, and the two share an almost identical resemblance. Piccolo Daimao wears the kanji for meaning "demon" on the front of his gi, which becomes a representative symbol of himself and his "demon clan". Piccolo Jr. makes his first appearance in chapter #161 as a child, newly hatched from his egg, wearing an outfit similar to his parent's original complete with the kanji. However, his more common appearance is first seen in chapter #166 , which takes place three years later, wearing purple gi, without the kanji, underneath his signature large white cape with shoulder guards and a white turban (the latter two being weighted training gear). Piccolo is one of the few major characters in the series whose appearance does not drastically change as the series continues except that he is noticeably taller by the end.
