However, Goku does not want Bulma touching it since it is precious to him, so Bulma decides to let Goku to join her on a quest to collect all seven Dragon Balls to summon the Dragon, not revealing to him that the Dragon Balls would be scattered across the Earth once they succeeded. Goku takes Bulma to his house, where she ends up discovering his four star Dragon Ball. Goku states that he has never seen a girl before and that the only human he has seen in his life is his deceased grandfather. When the driver shoots Goku with a gun, she becomes scared after seeing that it hardly does any damage and surrenders, revealing herself to be a Human girl, named Bulma. Having never seen a car before, he assumes it is a monster attacking him. One day, after doing his daily chores, Goku is hit by a car when on his way home after catching a Giant Fish. Goku owns the Power Pole and the four-star Dragon Ball, inheritances from his grandfather. Goku is introduced in the Dragon Ball manga and anime at 12 years of age (initially, he claims to be 14,but it is later clarified during the Tournament Saga that this is because Goku had trouble counting), as a young boy living in obscurity on Mount Paozu. From a young age, Goku developed the impression that his birth parents abandoned him in the mountains as a baby, leaving him for Grandpa Gohan to discover. After his grandpa's death, Goku stayed at his home, carrying out his daily life of survival. However, one night Goku did, and he transformed into a Great Ape, causing him to unknowingly kill Gohan. Gohan one day discovered Goku's full moon transformation, and thus told him to never look at the full moon. His Grandpa Gohan taught him martial arts and told him about such things as the city and people, as they lived in a very remote place in Mount Paozu, with no communication with other people. After he woke up, he had lost all of his Saiyan aggression due to not remembering his mission, becoming a kind and mild-mannered young boy. At first, Goku was extremely violent and ill-tempered, not obeying Gohan at all, but one day he fell down a deep ravine and hit his head, suffering severe head trauma that sent him into a coma and very nearly killed him and caused him to suffer long-term amnesia. He was then given his Earthling name, "Son Goku". After crash-landing on Earth, the baby was found in the woods by an old man named Gohan and became his adopted grandson. Goku is a Saiyan sent from Planet Vegeta to Earth. What happened to Goku's mother Gine is not clearly stated, but it is implied she was killed when Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta. Kakarot's father, a low-class Saiyan warrior named Bardock, disappeared in his home planet's destruction at the hands of Frieza shortly after Goku's departure to Earth, and his older brother Raditz was on another planet. As Earth's inhabitants were thought to be weak, a baby Saiyan was considered enough for the task, especially after transforming into a Great Ape by Earth's full moon.

Following a Saiyan custom, Kakarot was sent as a baby to planet Earth, in order to destroy its inhabitants and clear the planet for its future sale. Kakarot was born sometime in Age 737 on Planet Vegeta, during a time of great turmoil.
