Litt is a fictional celestial body that is referenced in the Dragon Ball franchise, located within Universe 7, with inhabitants that would be considered small.

General Overview

Vegeta suggests that Kuririn and Son Gohan wear the armor meant for the people of the planet Litt.

Following the defeat of Ginyu, and with Son Goku placed in a rejuvenation chamber, Vegeta provides Kuririn and Son Gohan with battle jackets from Freeza's ship. He states that these are smaller-sized versions made for the people of Planet Litt (リット星人間 ritto-sei-ningen).

In filler material within Dragon Ball Z television series episode 110, Vegeta continues his search for Son Goku out in space. Having arrived on a planet that he believes "Kakarrot" has recently been on, Vegeta slaughters an entire army consisting of what appears to be the same race of beings. The sole remaining member of the race — a beak-faced, green/brown-ish alien wearing an arm blaster and armor akin to Freeza's forces — refers to his group as "Littians" (リット星人 ritto-seijin).

Name

The planet's name of "Litt" (リット ritto) may be a play on the Japanese approximation of the English word "little" (リトル ritoru), particularly alongside Vegeta's description of the specific armor in question being smaller (ちび chibi).

Viz's English translation of the Dragon Ball manga adapts this as "the planet Lilliput", referencing the nation of the same name from Jonathan Swift's 1726 novel Gulliver's Travels, which features inhabitants one-twelfth the size of a standard human being.

FUNimation's English dub of the Dragon Ball Z television series... Any update in Dragon Ball Kai...?

In the 2004 western-developed video game Dragon Ball Z: Sagas, certain characters (Son Goku, Son Gohan, Vegeta, and Future Trunks) can be equipped with "RIT Armor" (with shoulder pads) and "RIT Armor Variant" (without shoulder pads) model options. This armor matches that provided to Son Gohan and Kuririn in chapter 291 and later worn by these same characters in the series. The name "RIT" is therefore likely an alternate transliteration of the original リット (ritto), with the game's developers and writers perhaps working without knowledge of prior adaptations/spellings/changes.

Notes

In translating information from Dragon Ball Daizenshuu 7: Dragon Ball Large Encyclopedia on his fan website The Ultimate DBZ Information Site in the 1990s, Greg Werner erroneously posited that Planet Litt was home to the orphans that Son Gohan, Kuririn, and Bulma meet in episode 39 of the Dragon Ball Z television series:

Rito Sei-jin "People of planet Rito*- I'm not totally sure but I believe the people of Rito are the orphans that Gohan, Kuririn and Buruma meet in outer space. All of the adults on the planet were killed by Freeza's men and the children escaped on a large mirrored space ship.

This misinformation remains oft-repeated and unsourced within lesser Dragon Ball fandom documentation projects. The book's entry simply states that the battle jackets Vegeta provides to Son Gohan and Kuririn are those for the people of the planet Litt:

フリーザとの戦いに備えて、ベジータが悟飯とクリリンに与えた戦闘用ジャケットは、小柄なリット星人のものだった。

The battle jackets that Vegeta gave to Gohan and Kuririn in preparation for the fight with Freeza were those of the people from Planet Litt.
