At the start of the series, Goku claims his age to be fourteen, however it is later discovered that he was actually twelve, the mishap occurring from his own mathematical error. Goku is discovered by a young city girl named Bulma, who is searching for the Dragon Balls, seven magical balls that when brought together summon Shenlong. Goku possesses one of the balls, and Bulma offers him the opportunity to travel the world with her, looking for the rest of them. Goku accepts the offer, wanting to fulfill his dream of becoming the world's strongest martial artist.

The afterlife

After choosing to stay in the Other World, Goku decides to go on a journey to the planet of the Dai Kaio (Grand Kai). Upon arrival he discovers that there are many strong fighters there who are working on their 10,000 years of training so they can earn a private lesson from the Dai Kaio. He decides to do the same, but as a fortunate turn of events, the Dai Kaio decides to reward the winner of the Afterlife Tournament with a private lesson.

Dai Kaio however, rewards him a private training session after he trains for 300 hundred years.
