Tien

He was a disciple of Tsurusennin, who is a rival of Kamesennin training to become an assassin like Tao Paipai (Tsurusennin's brother). He first appeared in the 22nd Budokai and presented himself to be quite an arrogant character who was quite certain that he'll win the competition. All that changed after he met Goku.

Goku defeated Tao Paipai. Tien wanted vengeance, even if it means cheating in the competition and killing Goku. When Tien faced Goku on the final match, Goku turned out to be such a challenge that he no longer wanted to be a killer nor a disciple of Tsurusennin. He only wanted to have a fair match against Goku using his own strength. After defeating Goku by a very narrow margin, he realized he did not want to learn the evil ways of Tsurusennin and he along with Chao-zu became disciples of Kamesennin instead. Thereafter, Goku became someone he constantly tried to emulate. Even the presence of poweful Saiyans does not stop him from trying to become the best.
