For me, I'd go with Chico from Dragon Ball Z Episode 16.
[spoiler][/spoiler]
I'd really appreciate her returning to see Gohan; I'd be curious to see if she remembered him. It would be cool to see her grown-up, but only if we got flashbacks of her kid self.
Same here, I would like to see Chico, Pigero, Rom and the rest of the orphans as adults in Super.
I want to see how they lived in the orphanage and if they found families and how they lived as adults.
The other group of filler characters I would like to see is one of the Space Orphans who escaped Frieza.
Wishes she can change her name to YamchaFan (her name everywhere else)
Obssessed with the Earthlings and the original DB anime
Paikuhan. He was a fighter that could actually be useful even later. Not when he is severely outclassed like against Janemba but he surely can also get stronger.

YOU GUYS STOLE MY PAIKUHAN VOTE! But I'm going to agree with them and say Paikuhan definitely.
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128 Still recording Toonami broadcasts on VHS after all these years! #1 Paikuhan fan!
But seriously, she was a good comic relief character. Would like to see some more of her in Super.
I wish they could have paired her with Yamcha or did something of that nature. It always just seemed so bizarre to me that he would give up on dating entirely.
Pikkon. The only filler character worth a damn, in my opinion. Even if he is a carbon copy of Piccolo.

Baby Gamera! Or...since its been a while since they last showed up, I guess they would just be Gamera now huh? Outside of that, Paikuhan.
Going on hiatus. Too much stuff in RL to deal with for me to keep up with posts here for now. Was fun, hope you all have a nice day and future! Volt signing off.
With the many years on the net I've spent...I've learned being polite takes you much further then being a dick. So...lesson here is! Don't be a dick!

Technically, he started off as a movie character.

It's strange that even though I don't hate the Garlic Jr Saga, that he was the only movie character to actually appear in the proper anime
You could include Hiya Dragon if we count animals.
For me, maybe Annin, the keeper of the Eightfold Furnace.
