I20 is the official catalogue number of a piece of background music (BGM) composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi for the Dragon Ball anime in 1986. The piece debuted in Dragon Ball Episode 3 which was broadcast on 12 March 1986.

Overview

I20 is probably intended to be a reference to the melody of Makafushigi Adventure!, though the melody is fairly different. The full composition is part b of the suite entitled "Setting Out", which is track #02 on both the Ongakushū record and disc #2 of the Daizenshuu.

I20 is a piece that we imagine was included with the idea of a mighty foe lying in wait for Goku & co. It's a distinctive theme of evil, frequently used much later on in (among others) the Tenka'ichi Budōkai and Piccolo arcs.
— Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu (2:2b)

I20 is given the title "The Kuma Mercenary" on The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant, the most common source for fan titles of Kikuchi's compositions. The piece was assigned the Kanzenshuu catalogue number of K-36 based on its placement in the series.
