==Name==
Tolbee's name is a pun based on the Japanese word for "beetle", ビートル (''Bītoru''). Unlike many [[Afterlife Tournament]] participants, Tolbee was not named for a type of Southeast Asian food.

==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. Tolbee 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==
Tolbee is a formidable martial artist from the South Galaxy, however his fighting prowess is never directly portrayed in the series.

==Performance==
Tolbee is mute in his several appearances in the series.
