'''Porunga''' is a fictional character in the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' franchise. He first appears as the [[dragon]] of [[Planet Namek]] in [[Dragon Ball Chapter 292]], which went on sale in the 1990 #42 issue of ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]'' on '''18 September 1990'''.

==Overview==
It is unknown who originally created Porunga, but the ancient [[Namekian Characters|Namekians]] are said to have chipped off small pieces of the [[Super Dragon Balls]] in order to create their own. When Porunga was introduced to the story, he was tied to the then-current [[Eldest Namekian]], the lone survivor of the climate cataclysm on [[Planet Namek]] and the father of all Namekians living on the planet at the time [[Freeza]] destroyed it. When he died, his [[Namekian Dragon Balls|Dragon Balls]] and Porunga were passed on to [[Muri]], the eldest of his children. Porunga's rules and their evolution are detailed below.

==Notable Skills==

==Performance==
In ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'', Porunga is voiced by [[Junpei Takiguchi]], who also voiced the [[Eldest Namekian]] and [[Uranai Baba]]. Porunga was recast for ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]'', shortly before Takiguchi's death in 2011; [[Daisuke Gōri]] handled the role in [[Dragon Ball Kai Episode 36|episode 36]], and [[Ryūzaburō Ōtomo]] took over the role beginning with [[Dragon Ball Kai Episode 51|episode 51]]. Ōtomo had previously voiced the [[Six-Star Dragon]] in ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'', and he went on to take over the role of [[Shenlong]] after the death of [[Kenji Utsumi]] in 2013.

In the [[Funimation]] English dub, Porunga has always been voiced by [[Christopher Sabat]], who also voices [[Shenlong]] and all of the other [[dragons]].
