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.
Biography
The "EX" version of Gohanks the result of fusion of the younger Son Gohan and younger present-day Trunks using Bulma's Metamo-Ring. Perhaps due to Gohan's influence, this super cool young fighter may be more mature than Gotenks.[1] The "Future" version Gohanks is the result of the Metamoran fusion dance with the alternate, older versions of Son Gohan and Trunks, master and student from a desperate future. He sports a scar carved into his left eye courtesy of Gohan.[2]
Dragon Ball Fusions
Following the appropriate QR code scan, players will find the "future" version of Gohanks at Urabai Baba's in-game. Alongside their own avatar, the player's core group of Son Goten, (the younger, present-day) Trunks, Pan, and (the younger) Son Goku marvel at this new fusion. Gohanks notes that if you are willing, you may challenge him (prompting the game's sub-event "Hero From Another World"). Speaking to Gohanks once more prompts the battle. Upon winning, Gohanks remarks that you are indeed strong and that he wishes to join your team; in order to defeat the Artificial Humans in his time, he wishes to train and learn more in this world.
"Gohanks: Future" is character no. 1010 in Dragon Ball Fusions. Similar to other QR code unlocks like Taks, "Gohanks: Future" takes up his own character slot and acts as a unique, individual character; he cannot be split back apart into his two base characters (and, in fact, the "future" version of Son Gohan himself is not actually available as a standard character in-game).

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:[3][4]
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.

— 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.[2]
In May 2016, the two new versions of Gohanks were formally unveiled in a cross-promotion with Dragon Ball Fusions and Dragon Ball Heroes.
Performance
Though fusion characters typically speak with a dual-voice role, in Dragon Ball Fusions "EX Gohanks" is solely played by Masako Nozawa; due to the large number of possible fusion combinations, it is likely that a single voice is assigned.
Notable Appearances
Kentaro Yabuki's original concept appears exclusively in the 1995 No. 13 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.
Both the younger and future versions of Gohanks appear in Dragon Ball Fusions on the Nintendo 3DS as well as various Dragon Ball Heroes game versions, including Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission X on the Nintendo 3DS.
The younger version (as "EX Gohanks") appears in Dragon Ball Fusions as a standard EX Fusion available to players that have progressed far enough in the game and have recruited the younger version of Son Gohan. In Dragon Ball Heroes, he appears (as "Gohanks: EX")...
The "future" version of Gohanks appears Dragon Ball Fusions as an unlockable character via QR code functionality. After scanning the code, Gohanks will appear at Uranai Baba's to challenge and recruit. In Dragon Ball Heroes, he appears (as "Gohanks: Future")...
In Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission X on the Nintendo 3DS, players may encounter "Gohanks: Future" in the game's story mode by challenging the then-recent Jump Victory Carnival Dragon Ball Heroes tournament champion, who can be found flying around the map. Players may also unlock Gohanks in the story mode's 4-3 portal by...
Notes
The first-pressing release of Dragon Ball Fusions for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan came packed with the GDPB-63 Gohanks: EX card for the Dragon Ball Heroes arcade edition. This card was later adapted (with all of the same attributes but with slightly different hues in the artwork) as HGD10-58.
