Kinto'un is a flying cloud that can only be ridden by the pure of heart. The Turtle Hermit gifts Kinto'un to Son Goku in Dragon Ball Chapter 4, published on 11 December 1984.

Overview

Karin's giant Kinto'un.[1]

Kinto'un is a large, magical cloud that answers to Karin of Karin Tower. Small pieces of it can be broken off to be used as vehicles by those pure enough of heart to ride them,[1] but only one piece is active at any given time in Dragon Ball.

Kinto'un was apparently destroyed by Colonel Silver,[2] but the elders of Jingle Village tell Goku that Kinto'un used to be commonly seen when they were younger, and that they cannot be destroyed. Goku calls for Kinto'un, and it comes to him.[3] However, when Kinto'un is destroyed again by Tambourine,[4] it does not come when Goku calls.[5] After Goku drinks the Super God Water, Karin calls the giant cloud to allow him to choose another Kinto'un.[1]
