Yamucha, the one time dessert bandit, met Goku
as a boy when he tried to rob them. He and Goku fought and were evenly matched
at the time.The only thing that stopped Yamucha from continuing the assault
was Bulma. At the time Yamucha was afraid
of girls. He followed the group on their search for the Dragonballs in hopes
of stealing them when they collected all of them. He ended up helping them
a few times during their quest and eventually joined then He trained with
Goku and the rest of the Z warriors and started a relationship with Bulma.
At the beginning of Dragonball Z, we see that not all is well with between
Yamcha and Bulma, and that Yamcha is play Pro baseball. He leaves that career
to train for the upcoming battle with the Sayjins. He was killed by one
of the saibamen, but due to his part in protecting Earth, he gets to train
with King Kai. When Yamucha is brought back he and Bulma continue their
relationship but during the Android Saga, Yamucha loses out to Vegeta. Yamucha
wasn’t the bravest of the Z fighters but when he had to be he stayed right
there with the rest to defend the planet. He was one of the four who jumped
in to attack Cell and try to give Gohan
and advantage over the villain. During the Buu Series, Yamucha claimed to
have stopped training to lead a normal life. He did attend the Martial Arts
tournament with the rest for moral support and to cheer from the stands.
