'''Olivu''' is a fictional character in the ''Dragon Ball'' universe by Akira Toriyama. [[Son Goku]] first encountered him in the [[Afterlife]], after dying in the battle against [[Cell|Perfect Cell]]. Olivu was a fighter from Earth, but died hundreds of years prior. [[North Kaiō]] claimed that some of Earth's legendary warriors were based on Olivu<ref group="note">Olivu's appearance and outfit resembles that of a Greek hero such as Hercules or Achilles and Kaiō may have been alluding to a Dragon World equivalent of those legends.</ref>. He was voiced by [[Masaharu Satō]] in his initial appearances but was replaced by several other actors in his later appearances.

==Biography==
Olivu was born and lived his life on [[Earth]] at some point in the distant past. A hero and powerful martial artist, his deeds were remembered in later mythology. He was also gifted and just enough to be granted his body in the Afterlife. He may have trained with [[North Kaiō]] and by [[Age 767]] was training on [[Dai Kaiō]]'s planet in the hopes of being trained by the master himself.<ref>{{Cite episode|Series=Z|Eps=196}}</ref>

==Name==
Olivu's name is derived from "olive" (オリーブ in Japanese). His overall appearance and clothing suggests a Greek origin; olives are commonly cultivated in and associated with Greek culture. Several of the [[Afterlife Tournament]] characters are named for foods include [[Sate]] (for satay) and [[Migoren]] (an Indonesian fried noodle dish).

==Production==
Due to the production schedule inherent in producing a weekly anime series based on a weekly comic, the writers of ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' interjected anime-only material both as a means of extending the runtime and to flesh out the ''Dragon Ball'' universe. Olivu and the entire [[Afterlife Tournament]] arc was written to depict [[Son Goku]]'s experience in the afterlife prior to the time-skip and the arrival of [[Boo]].

==Notable Skills==
Olivu is a formidable martial artist, one of the most powerful in the history of Earth. He has continued to train and improve himself after his death.

==Performance==
Olivu is played by [[Masaharu Satō]] in his initial appearances, then replaced for one-off episodes by [[Hisao Egawa]] and [[Yasuhiko Kawazu]]. Satō played numerous bit parts throughout the series and eventually became the primary voice actor for the [[Turtle Hermit]].

==Notable Appearances==
