Kami

Kami is the Guardian of the Earth, and the good counterpart of King Piccolo. Kami is a wise Namekian, who alongside Piccolo, was once a single being, who no longer remembered his real name, although it was revealed that he was the son of Katas. He hatched on Namek in Age 242 and, as a child, was launched by Katas into outer space in a Namekian spaceship which requires at least a basic knowledge of the Namekian language to pilot. The Nameless Namekian later learnt of the Guardian of the Earth, and that its role could be passed down, but only to those pure of heart. Thus, the Namekian split himself into being, while simultaneously expelling the darkness within him. The remaining good half became Kami, while the evil expunged became King Piccolo. Kami is also the Namekian that created Earth's Dragon Balls.

Appearance: Kami is a Namekian with wrinkly skin. He wears a white robe with a blue collar. On his robe he has a red colored kanji that means "God". He wears dark blue shoes as well.

Personality: According to Korin, Kami does not like visitors and will send any rocket ship trying to reach him back (implying it has happened at least once). His need for seclusion may stem from growing up by himself in the remote Yunzabit Heights. Despite having a legitimate care for the Earth, he began to think all humans were selfish and distrustful as he watched humanity grow and rebuild after the King Piccolo wars, until he meets Goku, which renews his faith in humanity. Kami's respect for Goku was great enough for Kami to see him as a potential successor and even offered him the position of Guardian of Earth after the 23rd World Martial Tournament, even suggesting that Goku and his soon-to-be wife Chi-Chi could live together on the Lookout, though Goku ultimately refused, to Kami's utter shock. Though he normally refrains from combat after the Piccolo Jr. Saga, preferring to leave it up to those younger and stronger than himself, he is willing to join the fight to defend the Earth from threats such as Garlic Jr. whom he has somewhat of a rivalry with due to his past history with Garlic.

Kami also has some complexity to his character, as even though he was the Guardian of Earth he felt as if he was not deserving of the title. This is because King Piccolo and Piccolo's existence relied on him being alive, leading him to want to take his own life on several occasions. He reiterates this to Goku at the end of the 23rd World Martial Tournament. After Master Roshi explains to him how none of this would have been possible without him and the Dragon Balls, Kami is able to forgive himself and continue as Guardian of the Earth.

His power level is around 400.

Abilities: Flight - He can use ki to fly.

Godly ki sense - As the Guardian of Earth, Kami possesses the ability to sense godly ki.

Regeneration - As a Namekian, Piccolo is able to regenerate parts of his body or cells as long as his head is intact.

Energy Cannon – Kami can shoot a visible blast of energy from his palm.

Eye Lasers – A thin laser-like beam is shot from both eyes.

Exploding Wave – An invisible ki blast of a sudden wind attack that can be launched theoretically from any part of the body. Kami used this against Piccolo while possessing Hero.

Explosive God Wave - The user fires a very powerful energy wave shot from a single hand, with the other arm supporting the one that is firing the attack.

Evil Containment Wave - It is designed to seal demons away by sucking them into a container with a special "Demon Seal" ofuda on it. The move requires huge stamina and endurance to perform; if user does not have enough life force they will die soon after performing it, despite the success of the technique. This technique, however, can be used on any living organism, regardless of if they are evil or not.

Any type of container can be used, as long as it can be sealed shut after the technique has been completed. However, the smaller the container, the harder it is to aim the target into its opening.

Divine Dragon Orb - The user creates a fiery orange energy sphere with their index finger and fires it at the opponent.

Self Destruction – Kami can convert his life force into energy to create a powerful explosion that can range for miles.

Magic Materialization – The Dragon Clan's ability to create objects from nothing. Kami used this to create the Earth's Dragon Balls giving life to the Eternal Dragon Shenron. After creating the Dragon Balls, if the creator dies (or fuses with another Namekian) the Dragon Balls are rendered inert until the creator is either resurrected or the Dragon Balls are restored by another Dragon Clan member.

Namekians also commonly known as Nameks, are a race from Namek. Namekians are green-skinned humanoids with slug-like characteristics. They have short antennae above their brow, which is protruding and pronounced while hairless. They also have long pointy ears, pronounced canine-teeth, and talon-like nails on their fingers. They have patches with red outlines on their forearms, biceps, shoulders, abdomen, thighs, knees, and shins. They also have three red conjoined rings on their ankles and wrists, appearing as bands.

Yunzabit Heights is a place at the "end of the Earth". The climate is very cloudy, and it has strong winds. It is said to be very barren and cold.

The Lookout is an ancient platform that is in geostationary orbit in the skies of Earth, and directly above Korin Tower; for some time, Korin Tower and The Lookout were connected by the Power Pole. Events occurring on the Earth can be observed from here and can sense battles in the universe. Kami is the first God of Earth seen to possess The Lookout and it starts to be referred to as Kami's Lookout.

Mr. Popo is an assistant deity who serves as the attendant to Kami. He also tends the grounds of the Lookout. Although he is bound there eternally as the gardener and caretaker, he can instantaneously travel anywhere in the world when the occasion calls for it by using a magic carpet.
