Does Goku have Telekinesis abilities?

[Bullza]

In the manga did it ever show Goku himself using a telekinetic ability?

There was a lot of characters that did have such an ability. Cell lifted up hundreds of tons worth of land when he did it, he must have inherited it from someone. Ginyu used it to keep the Dragon Balls afloat as did Frieza. Chiaotzu showed a variety of telekinetic abilites and so on.

I don't recall any saiyans using such an ability in the manga though.

Even if it wasn't shown do you think characters like Goku and Vegeta did have telekinetic powers? For example could they pick up and throw boulders without physically touching them?

I recall Vegeta throwing a rock at Freeza and rocks at Buu without touching them in the anime. Don't recall if that happens in the manga though.

Edit: Nevermind, he doesn't in the manga.

I always have trouble remembering what was done in what versions but I thought Goku or Vegeta did it at some point. But if not I'm going to say maybe for at least Goku since he did display mind reading for some random reason. Which is of course a different power but that and ki control would make sense I guess.

If you want to include anime filler, Goku lifts a cup of water with telekinesis while he's in the hospital after his battle with Vegeta.

[Polyphase Avatron]

It's not really telekinesis, it's just an application of ki, like Gohan explained that you use ki to push off against the ground to fly, you can move things by pushing them with your ki.

Wouldn't Chiaotzu or Guldo stopping people in their tracks be considered telekinesis? It's not something that anyone else did like Goku or Cell.

Yes, and I believe it's specifically referred to as such in the guidebooks.

Here we go, from the Special Attack Dictionary.

Psychokinesis
First Appearance: Chapter 80
Category: special
People: Ginyu, Gurudo, Cell, Turbo, Freeza, General Blue, Chaozu, Majin Buu (good)
Special Characteristics: A technique where, without touching them, they move objects with their thoughts. It is also called physic power. Blue guides the objects’ motion with his eyes, while Gurudo and Freeza use their arm movements. Freeza’s ability was passed on to Cell. (Daizenshuu 2, p.205/Daizenshuu 4, p.58, p.69)

Oddly enough, it lists "Telekinesis" as something different, and exclusive to Janemba.

*Telekinesis
Category: ability
People: Janenba
Special Characteristics: Janenba uses this in the movie “The Rebirth of Fusion!!~”, during his battle with Goku. Using telekinesis to move the multicolored round objects floating in Hell’s sky, he attacks by dropping them one after the other onto Goku’s head. It seems that he controls the telekinesis through his hand movements.

If they can fly themselves, kiai people around and remote control their ki blasts, I'm sure throwing rocks without touching them should be no problem.

[Monkey D Goku]

Vegeta is a earth bender there are a few instances where he lifted rocks and hurled them toward his opponent, example Frieza and Fat Buu.

He also lifts a bunch of rocks on planet Arlia but all of those only happen in the anime. The op is asking if it happened in the manga.

[Kingsley]

Goku can read minds(but that was probably just plot) why wouldn't he be able to use some simple telekinesis.

Even Master Roshi could read Nam's mind. Funny that Roshi could do it from a distance but Goku had to touch Krillin's head to do it. I guess Roshi was more skilled at that particular technique.
