Biography

Early Life

There are few people who are familiar with Ginyu's original form; one of them is Sauza, a henchman of Coola's who hailed from the same solar system as Ginyu. When Ginyu first discovered his Body Change ability, he used it on the wealthiest child in his class. This made him very popular with the girls, but he lacked intelligence; because of this, he realized that men should compete for strength rather than money.

Name

This is of course from gyuunyuu (牛乳). I thought it'd be good to think of the names from things that you put in refrigerators, so I was able to complete the names for the Freeza-related characters without much difficulty.
— Akira Toriyama, "I want to know the characters' name sources!"
