Biography

Name

The Turtle Hermit's driver's license is only seen in Dragon Ball Episode 8. It reads "Muten Rōshi" (武天老師).

The Turtle Hermit's given name is not known. Akira Toriyama initially just called him the "Turtle Hermit", but then he decided to give him a more impressive title, "Muten Rōshi".

There really isn't any great reason; Kame Sen'nin just didn't seem like all that amazing a name for whatever reason, so I thought up a name that sounded suitably renowned and powerful.
— Akira Toriyama^[4]

武 (mu) stands for all things martial, while 天 (ten) means "heaven" and 老師 (Rōshi) means an old master or teacher.

For the name "Kame Sen'nin", 亀 (kame) means "turtle", while 仙人 (sen'nin) is a type of sage or saint in Japanese folklore. They generally live in the mountains and gain miraculous powers through asceticism, and they are accompanied by familiars such as a toad, a horse, or a tortoise. The Japanese sen'nin are derived from the Xian of Chinese Daoism.
