Goku warming up Twixtor for editing (Dragon Ball Super Broly)

Goku bears a striking resemblance to his father, with the same spiky black hair, dark eyes, and facial features. However, his eyes are softer, his demeanor is kinder, and his skin complexion is lighter due to his mother. Goku’s most distinctive feature is his hair, which consists of three bangs on the right and two on the left, with four spikes in the front and three bangs in the back. He was born with a long, prehensile tail that was removed and regrown multiple times in his early childhood, but it was permanently removed in his late teens to prevent his Great Ape transformation.

At age 12, Goku was short and appeared even younger than he was, with a simple-minded personality that made people think he was much younger. Over the next few years, he did not undergo any significant physical changes, except for more pronounced muscles. By age 15, he began to grow taller, and by age 18, he had a considerable growth spurt and developed a well-built physique. He is considered very handsome by various women, including Bulma and Heles. Despite these changes, he remained recognizable due to his naïve personality and trademark hairstyle. By age 25, he had another growth spurt and became similar in height to his taller human allies, with much more muscle.

Goku is often seen wearing a Gi due to his love of training. He initially wore an open blue gi with a white bow-tied obi over his waist, red wristbands, and dark blue kung fu shoes, as well as a tank top. After training under Master Roshi, he wore the basic Turtle School Uniform, consisting of a closed red gi secured by a black knot-tied obi over his waist, blue wristbands, and blue kung fu shoes with Roshi’s kanji on the back and front-left side of his shirt. After training with Kami and Mr. Popo, he added a black short-sleeved undershirt with this gi and replaced his shoes with dark blue boots with a yellow border and red laces. After training under King Kai, he wore King Kai’s kanji on the back of his gi shirt. During the Battle on Planet Namek, he wore his own kanji on both sides of his gi shirt. During the Android conflict and Majin Buu conflict, he wore a plainer version of this gi that lacked any kanji and featured a blue sash-style obi over his waist, as well as the same dark blue undershirt, same wristbands and the same boots from his previous gi, but with a red border and yellow/tan laces. He later retains this outfit throughout most of Dragon Ball Super while also regaining his own kanji on both sides of his gi shirt.

During his early training under Whis, Goku wore an orange traditional and loose gi with Whis’ kanji on the front-left of his shirt that was secured together with a blue obi tied in a knot at the left of his waist. He also wore blue wristbands that covered nearly his entire forearms and blue boots that clasped together on the front of his shins.

In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Goku returned to wearing a knot-style obi with his regular uniform and “Go” kanji (essentially regaining his Frieza Saga appearance). His shoes were also rounder at the bottom and had gray soles. In addition to compensate for the wintery climate he was in, he also wore a long blue snow jacket with a high turtleneck, white stripes down his shoulders and arms, and bold purple letters of “SAB” over the front-left side of it. It also had black gloves. In the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, Goku was given the emblem of the Galactic Patrol in place of his own on the front of his uniform and also switched back to wearing a sash-style obi. In the Granolah the Survivor Saga, Goku regained Whis’ kanji on his standard gi when the angel trains him in honing.
