Who is Yamcha?

Yamcha is a desert bandit who crosses paths with Son Goku and Bulma early in their adventure, initially as an enemy before becoming an ally. Armed with his signature Wolf Fang Fist technique, he joins the quest involving the Dragon Balls.

Yamcha is a fan-favorite fixture of the Dragon Ball universe, debuting in the very first issue of Viz's Dragon Ball in 2003 and sharing those pages with iconic company — Son Goku, Bulma, Kame-Sen'nin, Oolong, and Pu'ar. Across nearly two decades of Modern Age adventures spanning Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Super, he's been a consistent presence in one of manga's most beloved franchises. Whether you're a longtime collector or just diving into Toriyama's legendary world, Yamcha is one of those characters whose place in the saga makes him well worth tracking down.
