Son Gohan is one of the main characters of the Dragon Ball franchise. Gohan is the eldest son of Son Goku and Chi-Chi, making him the first Human/Saiyan hybrid. His battle potential far surpassed that of his father's, yet unlike a majority of the Saiyan race Gohan had no love for fighting. It was only when his loved ones were threatened that Gohan was forced to take action, including when he surpassed his father as a child and defeated the Bio-Android Cell to save the world. Gohan eventually started a family with the Human woman Videl and had a daughter named Pan and retired from fighting, although like before he still helped battle evil when it was necessary.
He is voiced by Masako Nozawa (who also voiced Goku, Goten, and Bardock) in Japanese Saffron Henderson (who voiced Tara Duncan) Brad Swalie (who voiced Nightcrawler (Marvel)) and Kyle Herbert (who also voiced Ryu) in English.
Personality
While he is part Saiyan, Gohan in the beginning was shy and lacked the Saiyan battle spirit. It was during the time when he saw his father cornered by Raditz that he first unleashed his dormant power, showing that he only uses his strength to protect his loved ones. As time passed, Gohan grew to harness his abilities and turns out to be a very courageous warrior, assisting the Dragon Team in their fight against any threat.
Like Goku, he has a kind and gentle heart (as he can ride the Flying Nimbus without much difficulty). Gohan has a voracious appetite like other Saiyans. He is also generous, such as teaching Goten and Videl how to fly.
Gohan gets along well with others, such as forming a uncle/nephew relationship with Krillin, and developing a close bond with his mentor Piccolo. After marrying Videl and having a daughter, Gohan has proven to be a loving husband and father.
Powers and Abilities
Like most characters, Gohan has the ability to fly and can manipulate ki.
Being half-Saiyan, Gohan possesses more strength than any Human and can turn Super Saiyan and most of its following form
Super Saiyan
s. Aside from this, during his training with Piccolo before the Saiyan's arrival, Gohan has shown considerable skill in swordsmanship.
It was stated throughout the course of the Dragon Ball series that Gohan possessed bottomless power. That being said, his power makes him a noteworthy asset to his allies, occasionally becoming the team's champion, as he fought against the likes of Perfect Cell, Majin Buu, Broly, Bojack, among many others.
In his training with Piccolo, Gohan learns Mansenko. In his training with his father, Goku, Gohan learned Kamehameha. He also practice to learn Special Beam Cannon.
Alternate forms/power-ups
Great Ape/Oozaru
In his great-ape/Oozaru form, Gohan is a feral beast. This is a natural state for all Sayans that they use to devastate planets that put up fights against them. Their natural destuctive potential is increased twenty times with a massive strength, damage resistance and agility on top of their already super-human abilities in those areas. The state is triggered by light reflected in a full moon.
Unlock Potential
When seeking out the Namekian Guru to warn him of the danger to his people, the wise elder gave Gohan a power boost to help in the defence of his people. Upon placing his hand on Gohan's head, Gohan's power was unleashed - all the strength being held-back up to that point was brought to the surface without any adverse affects.
Super Saiyan
Gohan eventually excels to the level of Super-Sayan with training from his father. In this state he is twenty times stronger than he was originally, his energy projection has no limits and he is powered by his own rage.
Super Saiyan 2
In Super-Sayan 2 Gohan has excelled past what even a Super-Sayan can do. However in this state Gohan needs to strain to think clearly and a tranquil rage drives him.
Full Power
Full Power is a term for when anyone fights at full ki - maximum spiritual energy reserves. If Gohan goes into any of his alternate forms at full Full Power, he can maintain the state for a massive amount of time.
Potential Unleashed
Gohan's strongest stage is his Potential Unleashed. A boost given to him by the Elder Kai. In this state Gohan is the strongest a mortal being can possibly be. The process is temporary and takes days of meditation to achieve but in it, there is virtually nothing that can stop him.
Gohan Beast
In Super Hero movie, Gohan's most powerful is Gohan Beast mode. He resembled to his Super Saiyan 2 when he was a child but has gray hair and red eyes. He easily defeated Cell Max with Special Beam Cannon.
