List of Dragon Ball characters - Saichourou

Also known as Guru and Great Elder. He is a Namekian from Planet Namek.

Guru is the oldest remaining Namek in existence and the sole survivor of a cataclysmic climate shift several hundred years prior to the events in the series. All current Nameks alive on the planet are descended from him. (It was revealed that he had at least 108 children, though some may not have still been alive at the time of the Freeza Saga. Piccolo / Kami are descended from a Namek that died in the cataclysm: Kazatz.) He was also in control of the Dragonballs of Planet Namek (though he may not have created them). He had many powers similar to that of Kami on Earth, but it is never stated whether he was the local Kami of Namek.

Note that "Guru" and "Great Elder" are just titles. The actual name of the character is never revealed in the series. After the death of Guru on Earth, the position was passed on to the village elder of the Dragon Clan, Muri.

Morbidly obese in his old age, Guru sits stationary in his chair during the Dragonball Z series. He dies before Freeza is defeated, of a broken heart but not before unlocking the hidden power of Kuririn (Krillin) and Son Gohan. He is briefly brought back to life on Namek and brought to Earth, but dies of old age before the population could be moved again to New Namek.

In the Manga it is revealed that he knew about the Super Saiyans.
