Queen Harumaki is a minor fictional character in the Dragon Ball universe by Akira Toriyama. Son Goku briefly visited her kingdom while training for the 22nd Tenka'ichi Budōkai. During that time, he participated in her husband King Wonton's Imperial Match, a one-match martial arts event. She only appears as a background character (in an episode written by Toshiki Inoue) and her face is never fully visible.
Biography
Nothing is known about Queen Harumaki except that she married King Wonton and helps to oversee some official functions, such as his Imperial Match.[a] During that public appearance, she is depicted only with her face covered by a fan.[1]
Name
Queen Harumaki's name derives from a Japanese spring roll (春巻き, harumaki). Like her husband King Wonton, she is named for a stuffed food.
Production
Due to the production schedule inherent in producing a weekly anime series based on a weekly comic, the writers of Dragon Ball interjected anime-only material both as a means of extending the runtime and to flesh out the Dragon Ball universe. King Wonton and his Imperial Match help to flesh out Son Goku's training prior to the 22nd Tenka'ichi Budōkai.
Performance
Queen Harumaki is silent in the anime.
Notable Appearances
- Dragon Ball Episode 80 - King Wonton introduction and only appearance to date.
Notes
- ↑ Subsequent episodes of Dragon Ball, starting with Dragon Ball Episode 113, will establish that the world is ruled by a single King of the World who lives in King Castle. It is unclear what relationship Queen Harumaki and her husband have to him.
