Name: Son Goku
Series: Gensomaden Saiyuki
Age: Appears 18; is actually 518 years old
Canon: When the peace of Shangri-La is destroyed by the "Minus Wave", a forbidden mixture of science demon magic, it's up to Genjou Sanzo and his ragtag group of three demon companions to travel to the West and return things to the way they were. . . . if they can stop fighting long enough to get going. One of these companions is Son Goku. Despite his actual age he is physically and mentally younger than the rest of the group, which means he gets conned into most of the dirty work, with any complaints met with the smack of Sanzo's paper fan.
Constantly hungry, Goku's love of food is as big as his love for fighting. His philosophy is "I fight only for myself", but that doesn't mean he isn't more than willing to fight with and for his friends, either. And while he may sometimes fit the "stupid monkey" nickname he's been given, he's one of the most loyal guys in the group, sticking by everyone and knocking sense into them when they need it. But watch out; if you remove the headband that he wears you'll unleash Goku's true form, known as Seiten Taisei; a berserker unable to distinguish between friend or enemy.

Ahhh, how do I always get stuck carrying everyone's crap?! If it wasn't for all this junk I wouldn't have fallen behind, and I wouldn't have gotten lost, and I wouldn't have had to worry about some furry guy wanting to wear my headband because he wanted to look pretty and witty and -- GAH! He even called it a crown! What the hell?! Geez, I hope I don't run into him again. Who knows what he'll grab for next!
But now . . . I'm stuck in a swamp that smells really bad. This sucks so hard. Not only is there the whole "I'm lost in the middle of a stinky place" thing, there's all these animals all over the place, too. And they keep . . . looking at me with these weird faces . . . it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
. . . you know, I bet they're hungry. That's why they look like that! Wow, those birds growling over there are making the same noise as my stomach. Wait, do birds growl? Eh, whatever. Yeah, you heard me! Stop growling, you're just gonna remind me of how hungry I am! DON'T GROWL LOUDER! Stupid birds, I'll eat you if I have to! Don't think I don't know how to hunt! I'll catch you and roast you over a fire to prove it if I have to! Mmmm . . . fried chicken. Too bad there isn't anything else around I could eat chicken with. I thought I saw some plants that might taste good while back, but there was all this salty white gunk on 'em. I like salt on my food, but that stuff tasted nasty.
Ugh, I don't care if I'm in the middle of nowhere, there's gotta be some place to eat in this stupid swamp! It doesn't really look like there would be, but looks can be deceiving, right? Maybe there's a village! I don't have any money, but . . . I'm really hungry! And you know what they say about a guy who's desperate for food.
-- dammit, you again?! I told you the headband was off limits, man! Don't make me -- what? Yeah, I said I'm really hungry but -- whoa whoa WAIT t-that isn't what I meant! I know a perverted kappa who MIGHT do something like that if he got desperate, but I won't lower myself that far just for some food! I'd rather go hungry!
. . . you've got dumplings? And they're fresh? Hey, hold on! Are you even listening to what I'm saying? I'm not gonna -- . . . if I do that, you'll give me all I can eat? Really?
. . .
Alright, I'll be your pretty princess. But don't touch the crown!
