Biography

Chi-Chi (Japanese: チチ, Hepburn: Chichi) was a female human born on Planet Earth on November 5th of Age 737, which the death of her mother shortly followed the same year. When she was two years old, both she and her father the Ox-King were trapped outside their castle when a fire spirit was unleashed on it making it become Fire Mountain. During her childhood with the Ox-King, she was trained in martial arts, and it is said she has to behave well around him. Since her father's castle on Fire Mountain was impossible for both of them to reach, she was sent to retrieve the Bansho Fan from her father's old mentor, Master Roshi. Chi-Chi is first seen on her way to find Roshi while running away from a Dinosaur that she later decapitates with her helmet's blade and explodes with a blast from her helmet. Afterward, she runs into Yamcha who she attacks with a laser beam fired out of her helmet since she is afraid of strangers. After getting knocked unconscious by Yamcha for attempting to attack him, he returns to her aid after realizing she is the Ox-King's daughter. When she first awakens, she views Yamcha as a threat and gets ready to attack. He lied and said he loves her to keep her from hurting him because he had seen what happened to the dinosaur. Because she is naive, she believes him. When she turns her back, Yamcha runs away.

Soon afterward, she comes across Goku on his Flying Nimbus, who tells her that the Ox-King sent him to find her and take her to Master Roshi. While getting on the Nimbus, Chi-Chi accidentally pulls Goku's tail, revealing to Yamcha who was hiding, what Goku's weakness was. While riding the Flying Nimbus with Goku, he patted her genitals with his foot to determine her gender. Though Chi-Chi initially got angry and pushed Goku off the Nimbus, this act made Chi-Chi believe that Goku may be in love with her. This is when Chi-Chi falls in love with Goku, although due to Goku's much more naive personality though he did not realise this at the time. When they arrive at Master Roshi's, Roshi told both of them that he accidentally threw the Bansho Fan out and that he will have to put it out himself. Chi-Chi and Goku took the Flying Nimbus back to Fire Mountain to meet back up with everyone with Master Roshi riding Baby Gamera right behind them. Master Roshi demonstrated the Kamehameha to put out the flames on Fire Mountain, but unfortunately, it destroyed their castle, as well. After Goku's friends get the Dragon Ball, Goku leaves. Just before Goku left, she asks Goku if he will think of her during his journey, to which he replies yes. Then, he asks her if she will think of him, which causes her to blush and giggle making Goku wonder if all girls are this silly.

‎Three years later, Chi-Chi participates in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, hiding her name as Anonymous (匿名希望 Tokumeikibō, lit. "Anonymous by Request"). Her number during the preliminary rounds of this tournament was 59. Chi-Chi goes up to Goku and says "Hi", but Goku does not recognize who she is, which makes her angry, calling him stupid. She was primarily upset because Goku forgot her name and had never come back to keep 'the promise', which Goku had forgotten about because he went straight to the Lookout following the defeat of King Piccolo. She states that if Goku defeats her in the semi-final match, she will tell him why she was mad as he did not know her name. In the match, Goku does so by simply throwing a punch at the air, the force of which knocks Chi-Chi out of the ring. She then reveals her identity, shocking everybody. Goku is shocked to realize that it was the little Chi-Chi he had met earlier and that she has grown up as much as he had and gets even more of a shock when she reminds him of the promise, he made her. He then reveals that he did remember it, but also that he promised that because he was unaware of what a bride was, which is a statement that leaves Chi-Chi nearly emotionally shattered. Nonetheless, Goku keeps his promise and proposes to her in front of the whole crowd. Chi-Chi then tells Goku she was in love with him, and he, not knowing what she meant by that, is confused because of his naive nature. She says, "I'll show you" and kisses Goku on the cheek, leading to a humorous reaction from Krillin, and the applause of the crowd. She also apologized to Yamcha for not marrying him, as she still assumes that Yamcha was in love with her. Goku remains unaware of the meaning of her emotional advances towards him for the duration of the tournament.

At the age of twenty, Chi-Chi gave birth to her first son, which marked the beginning of her journey into motherhood at the dawn of the Dragon Ball Z era. While attempting to choose a suitable name for the newborn child, Chi-Chi initially suggested the name Einstein, a choice that her family immediately disliked. Her father, the Ox-King, then listed several alternative names that all incorporated the word Ox, but the infant vocally expressed his own distaste for those options as well. Frustrated by the lack of progress, Chi-Chi loudly scolded her husband, Goku, for wanting to leave for a fishing trip without contributing a single naming idea of his own. During her animated lecture, Chi-Chi happened to mention the name of Goku's late adoptive grandfather, Gohan. The baby laughed happily each time he heard the word, a reaction that the Ox-King noticed and quickly pointed out to the parents, which prompted both Chi-Chi and Goku to joyfully accept Gohan as their son's official name.Four years later, Chi-Chi’s peaceful family life was shattered by the sudden arrival of the Saiyan warrior Raditz. Following the conflict, Chi-Chi traveled to Kame House, where she flew into a violent rage before learning the devastating news that Goku had been slain in battle and that her young son had been kidnapped by Piccolo. The green warrior had taken Gohan to the Break Wasteland to forcefully train him for the impending arrival of two even more powerful Saiyans. For an entire year, Chi-Chi endured immense anxiety regarding her son's safety, eventually returning to Kame House to seek updates. Upon hearing from Master Roshi that the battle had officially commenced and that Gohan was actively fighting on the front lines, the overwhelming shock caused Chi-Chi to pass out. She briefly regained consciousness only to faint a second time after watching live television footage of the ruthless Saiyan Nappa brutally destroying the news crew that was filming the battlefield. Once the deadly conflict concluded and the Saiyan prince Vegeta retreated, Chi-Chi arrived at the battlefield alongside the rest of the Z Fighters' supporters to locate her family. She discovered that both her husband and her son had barely survived the encounter, with Gohan lying unconscious after reverting from his destructive Great Ape transformation. Overcome by maternal instincts and lingering fury, Chi-Chi completely stepped over the nearly deceased, broken body of Goku to frantically check on her son, deeply angry at her husband for allowing their young child to participate in such a lethal war. Chi-Chi then dedicated her time to nursing Goku back to health at Wukong Hospital, while a fully recovered Gohan chose to journey to the planet Namek with Krillin and Bulma to find the Namekian Dragon Balls and revive their fallen friends.

Following the massive displacement of the refugees from Planet Namek to Earth, Chi-Chi focused entirely on establishing a strict routine of academic normalcy for Gohan to make up for his missed schooling. For over a year, she raised her son alone while waiting anxiously for any news regarding her missing husband, who had vanished during the cataclysmic destruction of the alien planet. Her long wait ended when a mysterious teenage Super Saiyan named Trunks arrived to correctly predict the exact time and location of Goku's spacepod landing. Upon reuniting with Goku, Chi-Chi's initial joy was instantly eclipsed by a grim warning from the future: Trunks revealed that in exactly three years, a pair of lethal Androids created by the Red Ribbon Army would arrive to slaughter the Z Fighters, and that Goku would tragically perish from a rare heart virus before the battle could even begin. Realizing that the fate of the world and her husband's survival were at stake, a deeply reluctant Chi-Chi ultimately conceded to the reality of the situation and granted her permission for Gohan to step away from his books to train alongside Goku and Piccolo, setting the stage for the grueling preparation era. Following her decision to allow Gohan to train, Chi-Chi endured another period of intense anxiety as her husband and son ventured into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to prepare for the Cell Games. Her worries peaked when Goku made the shocking decision to step down during the tournament and allow Gohan to fight the monstrous Cell alone. Chi-Chi watched in absolute terror as her teenage son was pushed to his absolute physical limits, eventually achieving the Super Saiyan Two transformation and defeating the bio-android, though the victory came at a devastating cost. Goku sacrificed his life to save the Earth from Cell's self-destruction, leaving Chi-Chi a widowed mother once again. Shortly after the tragic conclusion of the conflict, Chi-Chi discovered that she was pregnant, and she subsequently gave birth to her second son, whom she named Goten.
