'''Napapa''' is a fictional character in the Japanese animated television series ''[[Dragon Ball Super]]'' and its companion manga series written by [[Toyotarō]]. Napapa makes his debut in [[Dragon Ball Super Episode 90]], broadcast on '''14 May 2017''' on [[Fuji TV]], as a member of the [[Universe 10]] team.

==Biography==
Napapa is the reigning champion of [[Dohyōdoru]], a [[Universe 10]] martial art similar to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumo sumo]. In the [[Tournament of Power]], he uses his strength to try to force [[Caulifla]] out of the ring, but he is instead pushed out by her [[Super Saiyan]] power.<ref name="Kagari">{{Cite web|URL=http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/dragon_s/chara/chapter4/no10.html|Website=Toei Animation|Title="Universe 10"|AccessDate=20 October 2017}}<br>{{Cite web|URL=https://redd.it/77mqzm|Website=Reddit|Title="Tournament of Power: Toei Website Profiles"|Date=20 October 2017}}</ref><ref name="ep100">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=100}}</ref>

==Tournament of Power==
Napapa is recruited for the [[Tournament of Power]] by [[Rumoosh]], the [[God of Destruction]] of [[Universe 10]]. As the leader of the team, Mulithim introduces the otherwise-hooded members including Napapa to his [[Kaiōshin]] [[Gowasu]], demonstrating their dedication to a regular protein intake in order to build strength.<ref name="ep90">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=90}}</ref>
[[File:Bio-napapa-top-design.png|thumb|200px|left|Napapa's anime character design for the [[Tournament of Power]].<ref name="Kagari"/>]]
The [[Angel]] [[Kusu]] leads the team in a dance to foster team unity, while Gowasu records. He plans to upload it as a video entitled "Us Dancing" on [[GodTube]], and hopes it will get a lot of views.<ref name="ep91">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=91}}</ref>

The team is next seen when they are transported to the [[World of Void]] by the [[Great Priest]].<ref name="ep96">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=96}}</ref> After Napapa's teammate [[Rylibeu]] is eliminated by [[Basil]], the [[Universe 9]] warrior tells Napapa he is next, while Basil's [[Kaiōshin]] [[Rou]] cheers him on. Napapa attacks Basil from behind, and Basil attempts to push him our of the arena with a [[Shining Blaster]] attack, but Napapa drags his fist and manages to stop himself before he goes over the edge, shouting "''Dosukoi''!" (a sumo chant) as he deflects Basil's attack.

Gowasu compliments Napapa from the sidelines; Rumoosh gloats that his faith in Napapa was well-placed; Napapa is called the "Magician of the Edge Ring", and the "Yokodzuna of Dohyōdoru". (横綱/''yokodzuna'' is a grand champion in sumo.) The Great Priest explains to the [[Omni-Kings]] that Dohyōdoru is a martial art in Universe 10, and the Yokodzuna is the strongest ''Rikishi'' (sumo wrestler); they are very impressed.<ref name="ep97">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=97}}</ref>

Later, Napapa runs afoul of [[Freeza]], who stomps him into submission, but Freeza abandons him when he sees that [[Goku]] is having more fun.<ref name="ep98">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=98}}</ref> When Napapa recovers, he finds his teammate [[Methiop]] in a confrontation with [[Kale]] of [[Universe 6]]. She gets in one good punch on Methiop, but he traps her fist in his shrimp-like mouth. Then Napapa appears behind her, and she accidentally steps on his foot. He complains that she hurt him, grabbing her up by the hair. Laughing, he tells her she will become a human punching bag. Methiop obliges, punching Kale while Napapa holds her immobile. She eventually loses consciousness, so Napapa kicks her aside.

[[Caulifla]] catches Kale, telling her to rest. She confronts Napapa and Methiop for daring to make her protegée cry. Napapa says they will make her cry too, so she gets angry and transforms into a [[Super Saiyan]], warning them not to underestimate her. She punches Methiop repeatedly before knocking him aside. Then Napapa attempts to force Caulifla over the edge with brute strength. She has trouble trying to stop him, but when he pushes her to the edge, he finds that he cannot push her over. Caulifla throws him over her head, and the edge of the arena crumbles underneath their struggle. Napapa falls off, while Caulifla easily jumps back on the arena stage.<ref name="ep100">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=100}}</ref>

On the sidelines, Napapa and the other eliminated male members of the Universe 10 team are enthused by the transformations of [[Universe 2]]'s [[Maiden Squadron]].<ref name="ep102">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=102}}</ref>

After the elimination of [[Obni]], Universe 10 is erased.<ref name="ep103">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=103}}</ref> When [[No. 17]] uses the [[Super Dragon Balls]] to restore all of the destroyed universes, Rylibeu is seen with her teammates and [[Gowasu]] in the [[Kaiōshin realm]] of Universe 10.<ref name="ep131">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=131}}</ref>

==Name==
Napapa's name is likely derived from the element [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanadium Vanadium] (バナジウム), a transition metal with the atomic number 23. This pun follows the theme of [[Universe 10]] warriors being named after elements of the periodic table.<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://twitter.com/sailorspazz/status/894609621989576704|Website=Twitter|Title=@sailorspazz|Date=7 August 2017}}</ref>

==Production==
[[File:U10-dance.png|thumb|325px|[[Kusu]] leads the [[Universe 10]] team in a dance.<ref name="ep91"/>]]
In [[Dragon Ball Super Episode 90]], the [[Universe 10]] team appears hooded, with the exception of [[Mulithim]]. They remain hooded in [[Dragon Ball Super Episode 91|Episode 91]], suggesting that their designs had not yet been finalized when animation began on these episodes.

==Performance==
Napapa is voiced by [[Yasuhiro Mamiya]], whose roles include [[Iwen]] and [[Sidra]], the [[Gods of Destruction]] of [[Universe 1]] and [[Universe 9]] respectively. In the [[FUNimation]] dub, Napapa is voiced by [[David Wald]], who also voices [[Hyssop]] of [[Universe 9]].
