'''Piano''' is a fictional character in the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' manga series by [[Akira Toriyama]]. Piano makes his debut in [[Dragon Ball Chapter 135|chapter 135]], published in the 1987 #35 issue of Shueisha's ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]''.

==Biography==
Piano is a demon spawned by the [[Demon King Piccolo]], born at some point after the [[Pilaf Gang|Pilaf Gang's]] retrieval and opening of the [[Denshi Jar|rice cooker]] Piccolo had been sealed in. Piano serves the Demon King as his right-hand man, attending to his needs and desires while Piccolo spawns more demons to advance his plans. [[Tambourine]] and [[Cymbal]] are sent out to gather [[Dragon Balls]] and eliminate martial artists, as Piccolo wants to wish for eternal youth and make sure no one can ever seal him away again.<ref name="ch135">{{Cite manga|Chp=135}}</ref><ref name="ch136">{{Cite manga|Chp=136}}</ref><ref name="ch137">{{Cite manga|Chp=137}}</ref>

When Piccolo learns that Cymbal and Tambourine have been killed, he goes after the mysterious demon slayer himself. This turns out to be a boy named [[Son Goku]], who has foiled the Pilaf Gang's plans multiple times in the past.<ref name="ch142">{{Cite manga|Chp=142}}</ref> He even manages to knock the Demon King to the ground, which freaks out the Pilaf Gang, but Piano is not worried.<ref name="ch143">{{Cite manga|Chp=143}}</ref> Piccolo gets back up, easily defeats Goku, and takes a Dragon Ball from his lifeless body.<ref name="ch144">{{Cite manga|Chp=144}}</ref> The remaining Dragon Balls are held by an [[Turtle Hermit|old man]] who turns out to know the same ''[[Mafūba]]'' technique that sealed the Demon King away long ago. This does scare Piano, but the old man fails to seal Piccolo away and dies.<ref name="ch146">{{Cite manga|Chp=146}}</ref> Piccolo gets all the Dragon Balls together, summons [[Shenlong]], and has his wish granted.<ref name="ch147">{{Cite manga|Chp=147}}</ref>

Having regained his youth, Piccolo sets his sights on world domination and dethrones the [[Earth's King]] at [[King Castle]].<ref name="ch150">{{Cite manga|Chp=150}}</ref> He announces his demonic plans for the world live on television, and [[Tenshinhan]] comes to challenge him.<ref name="ch153">{{Cite manga|Chp=153}}</ref> Piccolo spawns [[Drum]] and has him fight in his stead, but then Goku shows up and instantly kills Drum.<ref name="ch154">{{Cite manga|Chp=154}}</ref> Astonished that Goku is still alive and so much stronger than before, Piccolo starts to fight him. Goku says he will make Piccolo pay for killing people he cared about, and sends him flying — into Piano, killing the latter.<ref name="ch156">{{Cite manga|Chp=156}}</ref>
