Corn is an unused fictional character originally created for use in Dragon Ball Z TV Special 1 by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru.[1]
Name
Corn's name likely comes from the grain, where the Japanese approximation of コーン (kōn) is identical to the proposed character name.
A similar name of "Korn" (コルン, Korun) was later used in the Dragon Ball Super series for the angel from universe eight; in this case, the name likely comes from the German colorless distilled beverage produced from fermented cereal grain seed.
Production
Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru provided original designs for Bardock and his crew for the then-upcoming Dragon Ball Z television special in the summer of 1990. His initial Bardock design remained relatively unchanged, but the designs and names for Bardock's crew vastly differed from the final versions when series creator Akira Toriyama provided his own input and revisions.[2]
My personal thought is that Saiyan hair is black, but I also planned for them to have distinguishing features, so I changed them like this. But since it seems like you want the colors to be a little more varied, I won't mind, even if it's not black. (I've selfishly gone and changed the names, as well...)
— Akira Toriyama
While Jaga (who would become Totapo) remained relatively close to the design and name pun (jagaimo meaning "potato"), Tomah (Toma) received a haircut and a different syllable emphasis, Pumbkin (Panbukin) received a slightly rearranged name, and Corn received a complete design and name overhaul into the character Selypa.
Notes
While the four other unused character designs can be seen in the background of an eyecatch during the Bardock television special, Corn's original design is not present.
