Biography
Dragon Ball
Yamcha (Japanese: ヤムチャ, Hepburn: Yamucha) was a male human who was born on the Planet Earth where he came to train in martial arts and became a warrior. He was among the warriors who fought alongside Goku and the other Z Warriors many a time. Born in the year 733, Yamcha was originally a thief with a fear of women, but changed after he and Bulma became romantically linked.
Dragon Ball Z
Over the next five years, Yamcha retired from fighting and became a baseball player on the team called the Taitans. Despite being their best player, he still longed for the days of being a fighter. By this point, Goku had been killed following a battle against his brother Raditz. This encounter revealed that two powerful Saiyans were heading to Earth and that its inhabitants had to train to fight them. Yamcha was summoned along with Tien, Chiaotzu, Krillin and Yajirobe in order to train at The Lookout for the coming battle.
Around the time of Raditz's attack, Yamcha had been pursuing a career in professional baseball for the last five years. He left this job to battle the two Saiyans who were due on Earth in a year with the other Z Warriors. He was destroyed by one of their Saibamen, but was resurrected some time later by the Namekian Dragon Balls.
During the crisis with the androids created by Dr. Gero, Yamcha was nearly killed by Android 20. Fortunately, his friends were on hand with a senzu bean to heal him. After the Cell Games, Yamcha settled down and ceased his training, but was never with any other woman after Bulma.
Seven years after Cell's defeat, Yamcha looked to attend the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament alongside the friends and family of Goku. Goku had planned for the Fortuneteller Baba to resurrect him for 24 hours so that he could participate in the competition and see everyone for the first time since his death. Unlike in previous tournaments, Yamcha did not intend to take part himself as he believed there would be no point due to the power gap between him and the Saiyans. Yamcha sat with Chi-Chi during the flight to Papaya Island and explained the reason why he wasn't entering to her.
