Lee is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball universe by Akira Toriyama. Son Goku and Bulma rescue Lee and her companions after she was kidnapped by Oolong in Age 749. While her role is restricted to a single panel in the manga, she has a small speaking role in the anime adaptation.
Biography
Lee's village has been repeatedly attacked by a shape-shifting "demon", actually the perverted pig Oolong. In one such attack, Lee is kidnapped and taken to her attacker's mansion hideout.[1] Unknown to her family, Lee is treated well and is seen relaxing with her fellow prisoners, Hedge and Hogg. In the anime, Lee is pleased with her new life as it means that she does not need to work in the fields. In exchange for the six-star ball, Goku and Bulma defeat Oolong and rescue his captives. Afterwards, she returns to her family's village.[2]
Name
Lee's name is given in dialog in the manga, but only in the anime is it clear which of the three young women are Hedge, Hogg, and Lee. Her name is a pun off of the M3 Lee tank, part of a set of tank-related in the chapter including "Hedgehog" (a combination of Hedge and Hogg) and Sherman Priest.[3] The episode credits for episode 4 lists her only as "Villager" (村人たち).[4] In the English-language adaptation of the anime by Funimation, Lee's name is given as Little Flower, although this may be a nickname. The Native American style of name may have been selected because her father is depicted as wearing native-style clothing, similar to that of Upa and Bora later in the series.
