Vegeta

Prince Vegeta (Bejta) is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga and anime series created by manga writer and artist Akira Toriyama. Vegeta makes his debut appearance at the end of Dragon Ball volume 17 of the manga as a primary antagonist; or Dragon Ball Z, episode 6 of the anime adaptation. Vegeta's character drastically changes as the series continues, developing from a primary antagonist, to an anti-hero and eventually to a major protagonist by the end of the series. Vegeta's character is continued into the anime-only series Dragon Ball GT, and then making a cameo appearance in a self parody manga of Toriyama's called Neko Majin Z.

Following the tradition of the Saiyan characters in the series to be named for vegetables, Vegeta's name, being from the Saiyan royal family, is an obvious pun on the word vegetable itself. Vegeta later marries Bulma has a son named Trunks and a daughter named Bra.
