| ~ Bulma |
Bulma is the initial deuteragonist of Dragon Ball and later a secondary character in Dragon Ball Z, GT and Super. She wanted the Dragon Balls to get the perfect boyfriend, though she didn't need the wish when she found Yamcha and became his girlfriend. She is also Goku's first and best friend aside from Grandpa Gohan and her personality often acts as a foil to his. She later marries Vegeta and has a son named Trunks and a daughter named Bra. She is also shown to be good friends with Chi-Chi and Videl. She is voiced by the late Hiromi Tsuru in the original Japanese version of the Dragon Ball series from 1986 to 2017 and currently by Aya Hisakawa in the original Japenese version since 2017 and was voiced by Tiffany Vollmer in the FUNimation dub of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z while Monica Rial voices her in the FUNimation dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai as well as Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods, Resurrection of 'F' and Dragon Ball Super.
Personality
 | This scum Bulma is really bothering Kenshiro! IT MUST BE REWRITTEN OR ADDED TO!! So sayeth the great god of Earthrealm Raiden: or he will send lightning bolts to terminate you. |
Bulma has a temperamental personality while being very tomboyish, and girly at the same time. While known for her extreme intellect, Bulma is considerably spoiled and vain, using her great beauty as an excuse for her selfish behavior. Her selfishness prevented her from being able to ride the Flying Nimbus. While in stressful conditions, she becomes frightened easily and gets angry toward everyone including her allies. Bulma tends to have a great deal of concern over her hygiene, frequently complaining when circumstances prevent her from taking a bubble bath or replenishing her beauty supplies, even when her hygiene is the least of her worries such as being stranded in the wilderness.

- Bulma was originally a parody of a character from Journey to the West (like Goku was too). She was adapted from Xuanzang (also called Tripitaka), the monk and the main protagonist of the novel. Like in the original novel, she leads the band of five consisting of herself, Goku, Oolong, Yamcha and Puar (each an adaptation of a Journey to the West character) in search of the Dragon Balls. Despite Xuanzang being a male, Bulma being a female follows a tradition in Chinese opera where the role is performed by a female actor.
