Birthday
誕生日 (tanjōbi)
English Name(s)	Birthday

A birthday is an observation of the date that an individual was physically born into the world or existence, which may include a party of other kind of celebration.

Very few Dragon Ball character birth dates are ever confirmed, and what few have been are all done external to the series itself, effectively exclusively through a spotlight column in a single 1986 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump. Numerous birthdays are also erroneously celebrated by fans.
