This article is about Son Goku's son. For Son Goku's adoptive grandfather, see Son Gohan (Grandpa).

Son Gohan is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. Gohan makes his debut in chapter 196, published in the 1988 #46 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Age

Gohan's official birth month is given in Daizenshuu 7 as "one day in May", Age 757. This is based on the fact that the Artificial Humans' initial attack occurred on May 12, together with an anime-exclusive scene where Chi-Chi throws Gohan a birthday party before the Cell Games on May 26. However, Gohan says this is not his actual birthday.

チチ：きょうの午後は悟飯のバースデーパーティーを開くつもりだったのに｡ 一体 どうしてくれるだ！
孫悟空：バースデーパーティー？
孫悟飯：でも お母さん｡ きょうは僕の誕生日じゃ…｡
チチ：そんなことは分かってる！だども いいか？ ｢精神と時の部屋｣っつーとこに入ってた間に悟飯ちゃん11歳になっちまったべ？ 誕生日っていうのは大切な けじめだからな｡ きょう改めてお祝いすることにしたんだ｡

Chi-Chi: This afternoon, I was meanin' to have a birthday party for Gohan! Why are you doin' this to me?!
Goku: Birthday party?
Gohan: But Mother, today isn't my birthday...
Chi-Chi: I know that! But even so, listen. When you were in that Room of Spirit and Time place, Gohan-chan turned 11 years old! Birthdays are important milestones and all. I decided that we were goin' to celebrate it today.
— Dragon Ball Z Episode 171

Gohan tells Bulma he is 4 years old.

Gohan's age is stated outright only twice in the manga. He tells Bulma that he is four years old when he is introduced, and the narration states that he is sixteen years old after the seven-year time skip that follows the Cell arc. The latter ignores the ~11 months Gohan spent in the Room of Spirit and Time, and Daizenshuu 7 gives the date of Gohan's first day at Orange Star High School as 07 April, just before his official 17th "birthday" in May.

After Gohan's introduction, a year passes, and he is 5 years old on Planet Namek. One year and nine months later, Goku returns to Earth, and Gohan is about 7 years old. Then about three years pass, and he is about 10 years old when he enters the Room of Spirit and Time. Then seven years pass, and he is 16 years old, nearly 17 years old when he starts high school. He is 21 years old when Dragon Ball Super begins, about 23-24 when the anime ends. He is 27 years old in the epilogue of the manga (or the epilogue of Dragon Ball Z), and about 32 at the beginning of Dragon Ball GT. Various time stamps throughout the original manga are helpful for making sense of Gohan's age.

• Gohan says he is 4 years old in Dragon Ball Chapter 196 (May 757). Goku dies that same day, and Raditz tells him before his own death that his fellow Saiyans will be arriving on Earth in one year.
• After six months running on the Serpent Road, Goku arrives on Kaiō's planet. Kaiō tells him that the Saiyans will arrive in 158 days. That leaves 207 days in the year, or about seven months. Later, when Kaiō tells Goku he must go back down the Serpent Road, Goku says it took him six months before.
• When asked to wish Goku back to life, the Turtle Hermit realizes it is a month earlier than expected. When Piccolo notices the sky going dark, he has the same realization: the Saiyans are early. There are about 11 months between Goku's death and the arrival of the Saiyans.
• After the fight with Nappa and Vegeta, Goku learns that it will be four months before he is healed, but Karin tells him there will be more senzu in one month. After a few days, Mister Popo and Bulma test God's spaceship, and Bulma tells the others that they will be able to reach Namek in one month after the ship is updated. According to Daizenshuu 7, it was 11 days between the fight and their departure, and the journey to Namek ends up taking 34 days.
• On the same day that Bulma and the others arrive on Namek, Goku gets his senzu and departs for Namek himself. In Dr. Brief's spaceship, he makes the trip in six days.
• After the battle on Namek, it takes a total of 260 days to wish everyone back from the dead using the Namekian Dragon Balls, which have a cycle of 130 Earth days. Then it is another year after that before Goku returns. In the anime, the narrator states that it has been one year since Goku defeated Freeza on the day that Goku returns to Earth, but in the manga it is explicitly one year plus 260 days.
• Gohan trains with Goku and Piccolo for three years in preparation for the arrival of the artificial humans. According to Daizenshuu 7's timeline, it is August 764 when Goku returns to Earth, making the training period 2 years and 9 months.
• Goku and Gohan spend about 11 months in the Room of Spirit and Time. This is not counted toward Gohan's age in the manga.
• Seven years after Cell, Gohan is 16 years old. The date is given as 07 April 774 in Daizenshuu 7. This means that, according to his official "birthday", Gohan would have turned 17 years old shortly after Boo was defeated in May 774.
• Six months after Majin Boo is defeated, everyone's memories of him are erased, aside from the Dragon Team. This is still in Age 774.
• Ten years later, Pan is 4 years old when she is introduced on 7 May 784, but according to Daizenshuu 7, she was born in Age 779, so she would have turned 5 some time later that year.
• Videl reveals that she is pregnant with Pan in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and the corresponding arc of Dragon Ball Super, both of which take place on 18 August 778, on Bulma's birthday. This means that Pan would have turned 5 years old very shortly after she was introduced in the epilogue.
• Bra's official birth year is Age 780. She was born just before the Tournament of Power, the final arc of the Dragon Ball Super anime.

When Trunks is 8 years old, Gohan is nearly 17. Future Trunks was 14 years old when Future Gohan died, making Future Gohan about 23 when he died, i.e. about the same age as Present Gohan in Dragon Ball Super.
