'''Piririn''' is a theoretical fusion of [[Piccolo]] and [[Kuririn]] in the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise. While Piririn does not appear in the original serialization, he was designed by original author [[Akira Toriyama]] in 1995 and made a formal debut in the 2016 Nintendo 3DS video game ''[[Dragon Ball Fusions]]''.
'''Gohanks''' is a [[fusion]] of [[Son Gohan]] and [[Trunks]] in the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise. A fusion character of this name was initially designed by a then-fifteen-year-old Kentaro Yabuki (who would later rise to prominence as the author of manga series such as ''Black Cat'' and ''To Love-Ru'') as a ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]'' contest submission in 1995. Gohanks was later re-imagined by [[Bandai Namco]] for the ''[[Dragon Ball Fusions]]'' and ''[[Dragon Ball Heroes]]'' video games in 2016, both in a younger "[[EX Fusion|EX]]" form and an older "Future" form.

Gohanks is a fusion of Son Gohan and Trunks in the Dragon Ball franchise. A fusion character of this name was initially designed by a then-fifteen-year-old Kentaro Yabuki (who would later rise to prominence as the author of manga series such as Black Cat and To Love-Ru) as a Weekly Shōnen Jump contest submission in 1995. Gohanks was later re-imagined by Bandai Namco for the Dragon Ball Fusions and Dragon Ball Heroes video games in 2016, both in a younger "EX" form and an older "Future" form.

Name

Gohanks' name is a clear combination of Son Gohan (孫悟, Gohan) and Trunks (トランクスン, Torankusu), in line with other similar combinations of character names for fusions.

Yabuki recounted his contest submission experience in the supplemental "Dragon Ball Children" pamphlet that accompanied Dragon Ball's seventh kanzenban in June 2003:[2][3]

Speaking of which, my debut in Jump wasn't with my own manga, but with Dragon Ball. Around the end of my third year in junior high, there was a "Fusion Contest" promotion in Jump, where you had to create an original character by making any two characters from Dragon Ball do Fusion. I fused together my favorite characters at the time, teenage Gohan and teenage Trunks, to create a character called "Gohanks"; I drew an illustration and sent it in. Then, I got an award called the "Cool Prize" (heh), and it ran, relatively large, in the color pages of Jump. That experience really moved me.
— Kentaro Yabuki

A completely new re-imagining of Gohanks by Bandai Namco was revealed as a forthcoming playable character in Dragon Ball Fusions and Dragon Ball Heroes in the July 2016 issue of Shueisha's V-Jump magazine.[4]

Performance

Gohanks is played in the standard dual-voice role in Dragon Ball Fusions and Dragon Ball Heroes by Masako Nozawa and Takeshi Kusao (as Son Gohan and Trunks, respectively).

Notable Appearances

"EX Gohanks" from Dragon Ball Fusions

Beyond his original Toriyama design publication in Weekly Jump (and subsequent reprint in the Daizenshuu/Chouzenshuu), Piririn thus far exclusively appears in Dragon Ball Fusions on the Nintendo 3DS.

In addition to the standard fusion dance version, Dragon Ball Fusions also features an "EX Piririn" using the game's special armband fusion method.
