Kame-Sen'nin's trusty turtle, Umigame constantly complains about his master's perverted actions. He tries to keep him in-line around the ladies, but his objections usually result in a scolding. He plays a relatively small part in the manga, but he has quite a few large roles in the anime.

Oolong

Japanese VA: Naoki Tatsuta

A perverted shape-shifting pig, Oolong terrorizes a small village and abducts their girls. As Oolong fights Goku, it is apparent that he doesn't acquire any special skills from whatever he shape-shifts into, and that he can hold a form for no more than five minutes. It is soon obvious that Oolong is more of a spectator than a helper when it comes to fighting. He is also considered a coward by most, especially Bulma.

Pu'er

Japanese VA: Naoko Watanabe

Pu'er is Yamcha's shape-shifting friend and together they rob anyone that wanders into their desert. Like Oolong, Pu'er has the ability to change his shape into any form. Though unlike Oolong, Pu'er can hold that form an indefinite amount of time.

Vegetto

Japanese VA: Masako Nozawa & Ryō Horikawa

With no other warriors left on Earth, Son Goku pleads with Vegeta, who eventually agrees, to fuse with him before Majin Buu destroys the planet.

One of the finalists of the 21st Tenka'ichi Budōkai, Namu has entered the tournament to win the prize money which has plans to use to buy water for his drought ridden village.

Ran-Fan

Japanese VA: Yōko Kawanami

Kung-Fu Man

Japanese VA: Naoki Tatsuta

He's a typical martial arts-looking guy who faces off against Kuririn in the preliminary round of the 21st Tenka'ichi Budōkai.

Shuu (Soba)

An officer of the Red Ribbon Army, he commands an expedition to find one of the Dragon Balls in a remote region. Goku arrives in the area, having used the Dragon Radar, and quickly finds the Dragon Ball.

General White

Japanese VA: Tesshō Genda

The Red Ribbon Army general in charge of Muscle Tower. In order to find the Dragon Ball located somewhere around Jingle Village, he took the village mayor hostage to force the villagers to search for the Dragon Ball. When Goku came to free the mayor, he used a handy trap door to drop him down into Buyon's lair, but Goku managed to defeat the monster.

He acts as the second-in-command at Muscle Tower and fights Goku on the tower's third floor, but is quickly outmatched. Even calling in his brothers as reinforcements doesn't help much, so he brings out his secret weapon, Artificial Human No. 8.

Murasaki then tries to blow No. 8 up for his insubordination, but Goku intervenes and knocks him out for good.

Murasaki's Siblings

Buyon is the mysterious monster that lives on the fifth floor of Muscle Tower in Jingle Village. His elastic body makes him virtually immune to any of his victim's attacks.
