Now,
don't go expecting me to get all this 100% accurate, I can read
and write one language and one language only! (Heck, I'm Welsh,
and I barley know the basics-no wonder I flunked welsh at school!)
But
this is as much as I know about the DBZ symbols. These are the
symbols you see on the gi's or the clothing, mainly of Z fighters and
the main characters. They are usually their own symbol or name, or
that of the master who trained them.
Gohan- This is what you'll see on Gohan's clothes in the
very first DBZ episodes (when he is wearing the most adorable little
outfit with the dragonball hat). I think it means descendant, and
it shows that he is a descendant of son Gohan (Goku's grandfather).
Ox King- This means Ox or bull. Like many
other DBZ characters, he first came into DB as a bad guy. I
"think" this symbol has something to do with demon.
Piccolo- This symbol also has something to do with
demon. It IS demon. It was originally that of Piccolo Dimauo
or King Piccolo. It is later worn by Gohan on his gi when he is
trained by Piccolo after Goku's death in the Saiya-jin saga. I bet
if in Dragonball, when Goku fought Piccolo, he would have been VERY
surprised if some one told him that his son would wear the same symbol
with pride in the future.
Roshi- This symbol is Master Roshi's symbol. It
means "Turtle" (turtle hermit). It would once have been
worn by Ox king and Son Gohan (Goku's grandpa), it was then worn by
Goku, who later wore it along with that of Kaio, before he stopped
wearing one altogether (after all, if you are the most powerful being in
the universe, who is going to train you?!). It is also worn by
Krillen and Yamcha. Krillen always wears it (as far as I know), ad
Yamcha also wears it along with that of king Kai after he is trained by
him after his death in the Saiya-jin saga.
Yamcha- This is the symbol worn by Yamcha in
dragonball. It means "fun" (I think). It was what
Yamcha wore on the front of his clothes when he was a bandit.
King Kai/Kaio- Kaio of the north- Like Master Roshi's
symbol, this is also worn by his students, including Goku, Yamcha and
King Yemma. It it the symbol for Kaio of the North.
Kami- This is the symbol worn on the front of Kami's
robes and means "God". But it can also be seen as
meaning "not of this world", which technically is correct,
because he is a Namekian. I'm not exactly sure, but I think it is
somehow related or similar to the piccolo's symbol. Soon as I find
out for sure, it'll be up here.
I'll add more information to this site as I get it.
