Piririn is a fusion of Piccolo and Kuririn in the Dragon Ball franchise. Though Piririn does not appear in the original serialization, he was designed by Dragon Ball author Akira Toriyama in 1995 and made his formal debut in the 2016 Nintendo 3DS video game Dragon Ball Fusions.
Biography
Piccolo and Kuririn's fused form. Makes sport of enemies with increased durability and speed, and ever more nimble fighting poses.[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
Ahead of Son Goten and Trunks' expected battle against Boo, Son Goku and Piccolo go through the motions — but do not actually complete — the fusion dance as a demonstration for the two children. Following Goku's return to the afterlife, Piccolo and Kuririn perform the same demonstration 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 Shōnen Jump (and subsequent guidebook reprints/notations), Piririn thus far exclusively appears in Dragon Ball Fusions on the Nintendo 3DS. Players must first recruit Kuririn as a team member by completing the sub-event "An Old Rivalry" as well as Piccolo by completing the sub-event "Teach Me, Piccolo!"
Piririn (Metamoran/Dance Fusion)
With Piccolo and Kuririn as active team members, players may use the standard Metamoran fusion in-battle as a regular special move to create Piririn. Following the battle, the fusion will revert back to separate Piccolo and Kuririn playable characters.
EX Piririn (EX Fusion)
Players may create EX Piririn by meeting the following requirements:
- Piccolo is at least level 40
- Kuririn is at least level 40
- Received the title "Expert Team Player" (unlocked by having two teammates join in a support attack twenty times)
With these met, "EX Piririn" becomes an available EX Fusion option for the characters.

Notes
The original 1995 No. 13 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump with its Piririn design was featured as an entry in the Dragon Ball Official Site's The Nearly Complete Works of Akira Toriyama ongoing weekday column in February 2019.[6]
The Dragon Ball Z Online Card Game ("a fan recreation of the original Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game") features a "Fusion Frenzy" 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.[7]
