CAST OF CHARACTERS

PVT. FIRST CLASS GOMER PYLE, a sweet, innocent babe-in-the-woods stationed at the Camp Henderson Marine Base near San Diego, CA. When Colonel Gray institutes a competitive martial arts program on the base, Gomer discovers fighting skills he never knew he had...which leads him to his ultimate destiny.

CORPORAL DUKE SLATER, Company B's second in command and Gomer Pyle's best friend. When he, Pvt. Charles Yellowbear, and Gomer are selected to represent the U.S. at the Budokai International Martial Arts Tournament in Osaka, Japan, Duke is the first to discover Gomer's Saiyan heritage...something Gomer himself does not yet know about.

SGT. VINCE CARTER, leader of Company B and the best friend of Duke Slater and Gomer Pyle. He is as shocked as everyone else when Gomer Pyle proves to be a natural in the competitive martial arts program, and he is also the head coach for the U.S. team at the Budokai Tournament...and is even more stunned when he discovers who Gomer really is.

SGT. EARL HACKER, leader of Company C and the guy in charge of the mess hall. He is also friends with Sgt. Carter, Duke Slater, and Gomer Pyle, and is the assistant coach for the U.S. team at the Budokai Tournament. One of his soldiers, Charles Yellowbear, is the third competitor for the U.S. team.

PVT. FIRST CLASS CHARLES YELLOWBEAR, a Native American recruit in Sgt. Hacker's platoon. He and Gomer Pyle became fast friends while competing in the base's track and field division, and leaps at the chance to join Duke and Gomer in the Budokai Tournament.

COL. ANDREW GRAY, base commander at Camp Henderson. His decision to incorporate competitive martial arts at Camp Henderson unleashes Gomer Pyle's natural abilities, and leads to the Budokai Tournament...and Gomer's ultimate destiny.

GOKU, a Saiyan-born warrior and past champion of the Budokai. He is an observer at this year's Budokai who quickly senses Gomer Pyle's Saiyan energy...and also senses danger with the bumbling Marine's presence at the Budokai.

VEGETA, a recently widowed former enemy of Goku who is also an observer at the Budokai, as well as a Saiyan. He blows the U.S. team off as pushovers until he sees Gomer compete...Gomer fights like a Saiyan, and it doesn't take long for Vegeta to connect Gomer to his true past. Vegeta is also in mourning over the death of his human-born wife and soulmate Bulma, who was a childhood friend of Krillin and Goku.

PICCOLO, another enemy-turned-ally of Goku whose first match at the Budokai is against Gomer Pyle. He soon realizes that as much of a fighter as Goku is, Gomer is much more...

KRILLIN, Goku's best friend. A Buddhist monk before he became a fighter, Krillin balances his fighting spirit with a sense of calm and a healthy dose of fear. Like his friends, he senses something different about Gomer Pyle the minute he lays eyes on him.

GOHAN, Goku's son and a competitor in the Budokai. He and his dad have fought many battles together, both in and out of the Budokai, and this is the first year Goku has let Gohan compete solo. He and Duke Slater compete against each other in the first trials, and become fast friends...

TRUNKS, the son of Vegeta and his late wife Bulma. He is also competing in the Budokai this year, but spends much of his time comforting his grief-stricken father.

FRIEZA, the son of the intergalactic warlord Kold and a longtime enemy of the DragonBall warriors. He has been killed and reanimated several times, and has been reanimated once again. His new mission is to crash the Budokai and destroy the Saiyan warrior Virekot, who is to become the Guardian of the DragonBalls...but who is Virekot?
