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.
Biography
ピッコロとクリリンがフュージョンした常。常にハイテンションなお調子者。驚異的な強さと謎のキメポーズで蔵を翻弄する。[1]
Name
Piririn's name is a clear combination of Piccolo (ピッコロ, Pikkoro) and Kuririn (クリリン, Kuririn), in line with other similar combinations of character names for fusions.
Production
Following up on other demonstrations, Piccolo and Kuririn demonstrate—but do not actually complete—the fusion dance for Goten and Trunks in episode 249 of the Dragon Ball Z television series (originally aired 07 December 1994 in Japan).

Piririn was revealed as a forthcoming playable character in Dragon Ball Fusions in the May 2016 issue of Shueisha's V-Jump magazine alongside the game's name change from its "Project Fusion" codename.[2][3] Piririn was often used in promotional coverage leading up to the game's release (typically in the same pose as his original Toriyama design), such as the June 2016 issue of V-Jump's coverage which uses Piririn to note the difference between standard fusion and EX Fusion.[4][5]
Performance
Piririn is played in the standard dual-voice role in Dragon Ball Fusions by Toshio Furukawa and Mayumi Tanaka (as Piccolo and Kuririn, respectively).
Notable Appearances
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.
Notes
Score's Dragon Ball Z: Collectible Card Game features a "Fusion Frenzy" promotional pack with new theoretical fusions; a fusion for Piccolo and Kuririn (named as "Krillin" in line with FUNimation's English dub of the franchise) is represented by a "Piccillin" card.
