Biography
Dragon Ball
Master Roshi (Japanese: 武む天てん老ろう師し, Hepburn: Muten Rōshi, lit. "Old Heavenly Martial Arts Master") was a male human who was the younger brother of the Fortuneteller Baba (占うらないババ Uranai Baba) where in his youth around several centuries ago he came to be trained by the great Master Mutaito (武泰斗 Mutaito). He was noted as being the first on to climb the massive Korin Tower (カリン塔 Karin-tō) and came to be trained by the legendary Korin (カリン Karin). Whilst there, his training that he underwent involved trying to catch the wise cat who had incredible speed where it was said that he could drink from the Sacred Water (超聖水 Chōseisui, lit. "Super Holy Water") that could impart one incredible strength and speed. It took Roshi 3 years to be able to catch Korin where he drank the water but found it to be simple tap water as the true strength gained was from the training.
Dragon Ball Z
Five years later, Master Roshi was at his home when a reunion was held with Krillian, Bulma and Goku arriving to meet one another. He and the others were shocked though to find that Goku had a son over the years with the child being named Son Gohan. Their gathering was interrupted though by a warrior named Raditz who revealed that he was Goku's brother and they were both members of an alien species called Saiyans. He added that Gok had been sent to Planet Earth as a baby in order to wipe it of all life so that it could be sold to prospective clients. Master Roshi came to confirm part of this story as he revealed that Grandpa Gohan once told him a story on how he found Goku who emerged from an alien craft but came to bang his head leading to the child forgetting his past.
