	'''Hoi-Poi Capsules''', usually just referred to as '''Capsules''', are devices which allow for the shrinking of inorganic objects down to portable size. They are some of the first technologies introduced in the series by [[Akira Toriyama]], appearing in [[Dragon Ball Chapter 1]]. An earlier incarnation of capsules were included in Toriyama's Dragon Ball prototype manga, ''[[The Adventure of Tongpoo]]''.

	~~==General Overview==~~
	~~[[File:manga-shrinking-capsule.png\|200px\|thumb\|Bulma shrinking her capsule house.]]~~
	Hoi-Poi Capsules are a key element to the background technology of the series. Each Hoi-Poi Capsule is a numbered cylinder with a button on top. Activating the capsule is as easy as clicking the button and tossing it; the contained object will appear with a "Bom!" sound-effect.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=1}}</ref> The expanded capsule can be shrunk again by pushing a button on the expanded object.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=4}}</ref> For safe-keeping, capsules are often kept in a hard case when not in use.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=1}}</ref> The exact process for encapsulation is unknown, but [[Bulma]] describes it as shrinking the objects into its component particles.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=423}}</ref> The resulting capsules are light-weight and portable, regardless of how large of an object was placed inside. Although most capsules in the series are only shown to contain the vehicle, house, or weapon that they were designed for, Bulma designed freezer capsules that permitted the cold storage of dead bodies, such as [[Kuririn]]'s after he had been killed by [[Tambourine]].<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=137}}</ref>

	The capsules produced by Capsule Corporation appear to be individually numbered, excepting [[Trunks]]'s time machine which returned to number one.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=332}}</ref> In all, the following numbered capsules have been seen in the manga series:<ref>{{Cite guidebook\|Title="Item Dictionary"\|Book=13\|Page=pp. 178-181}}</ref>

	Hoi-Poi Capsules are named for the sounds that are made when the capsules are deployed. In [[Dragon Ball Chapter 1]], Bulma shouts "Hoi" (ほいっ) when she throws a capsule, with the sound effect "Poi" (ポイッ) appearing as the sound of capsule in the air. The word "Capsule~~" for カプセル is frequently written out in Latin characters throughout the series.~~

	~~[[File:tongpoo-capsules.png\|thumb\|200px\|Tongpoo boils a variety capsule.]]~~
	The concept of capsules was initially explored in Akira Toriyama's one-shot, ''The Adventure of Tongpoo'' which premiered '''29 November 1983''' in ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' as one of a series of experiments culminating in the ''Dragon Ball'' story. In this science-fiction series, Tongpoo, an analog for Son Goku, explores a strange planet. By boiling specially designed "variety capsules" (いろいろカプセル ''iro-iro kapuseru''), Tongpoo is able to extract a jet-bike and a house to aid in his explorations, just as Bulma would subsequently do in the ''Dragon Ball'' series when meeting Goku for the first time. In ''Dragon Ball'', Toriyama dropped the requirement that the capsules be boiled before use.
