Dragon Ball Characters Are Named After Vegetables
If you look closely at the characters in Dragon Ball, you’ll notice a fun pattern in their names. Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, used a clever naming system for many of his characters, especially the Saiyans.
The Saiyan race features names that come from vegetables. Goku’s Saiyan name is actually Kakarot, which comes from “carrot.” His rival-turned-ally Vegeta gets his name from “vegetable.” This pattern continues with Vegeta’s brother Tarble (a scramble of “vegetable”), their father King Vegeta, and the elite warrior Nappa (a type of cabbage).
Broly, the legendary Super Saiyan, takes his name from “broccoli.” The fusion of Goku and Vegeta creates Gogeta or Vegito, both maintaining the vegetable naming theme. Even Raditz, Goku’s brother, is named after “radish.”
This food-based naming extends beyond just Saiyans. The Briefs family follows an underwear theme (Bulma, Trunks, Bra), while Frieza’s minions are named after fruits. Namekians like Piccolo, Nail, and Dende have names related to musical instruments.
Toriyama’s playful approach to naming shows his sense of humor and adds a layer of fun for fans who spot these connections. This consistent naming system has become one of Dragon Ball’s most famous characteristics
