MASTER ROSHI
MR
The ancient, perverted martial arts master living on a tiny island who invented the legendary Kamehameha wave after fifty years of concentration. Underneath his tropical shirts, sunglasses, and shameless antics lies the world's greatest living martial arts grandmaster. Disguising himself as "Jackie Chun" in the World Martial Arts Tournaments, Roshi enters the ring specifically to defeat his young pupils, teaching Goku and Krillin the eternal lesson that there will always be someone stronger in the world to strive against.

Open page →Roshi's training is almost aggressively unglamorous. Goku and Krillin deliver milk, plow fields, swim through dangerous water, dodge hazards, study and perform everyday labor while wearing weighted turtle shells.
He is not rushing them toward a secret finishing move. He is building stronger bodies, better endurance and the discipline to keep training without making fighting their entire lives.

The Breakdown
Roshi's lesson is to train hard, study hard, eat and rest properly, then enjoy life too. The Kamehameha is his famous technique, but the foundation is what makes his students dangerous.
