CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA is the first opening theme song for the Dragon Ball Z TV anime series, used from episode 1 until episode 199. It was written by Yukinojō Mori with vocals by Hironobu Kageyama. As the major theme used by the program for much of its run, the animation behind CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA was updated twice (in episodes 22 and 118) to reflect the changing plot and antagonists for the series. A widescreen version was also used for the first nine Dragon Ball Z movies, with special animation commissioned for Dragon Ball Z Movie 3 to reflect the plot of that film. Fifteen years after its last use in the anime, CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA was once again used as the opening theme of Dragon Ball: Heya! Son Goku and Friends Return!!, the Jump Super Anime Tour special. That version featured updated animation, as if the original has been further progressed into the Boo-arc and its characters.
