History
The Ginyu Force (Japanese: ギニュー特とく戦せん隊たい, Hepburn: Ginyū Tokusentai, lit. "Ginyu Special Squadron") were a team of highly-skilled, powerful warriors led by Captain Ginyu that did special favors for Frieza and were characterized by crazy dances and silly poses. They were summoned to Planet Namek on Frieza’s order to kill Vegeta and obtain the Dragon Balls after his regular forces failed to do so.
Vegeta eventually killed Guldo and Jeice, and finished off Recoome and Burter after they'd already been beaten by Goku. Ginyu survived, but switched bodies with a frog. In the Other World, the dead members of the Ginyu Force worked for Frieza, but Ginyu spent the rest of his days as a frog on Earth.
