'''KrillinKuririn''' is a [[fictional character]] in the [[manga]] ''[[Dragon Ball]]''/''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'', and the anime for ''[[Dragon Ball (anime)|Dragon Ball]]'', ''Dragon Ball Z'', and ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]''. His name is more widely spelled "Krillin" to English audiences, as it is his name that appears in the FUNImation Dub of the anime, and is closer to the correct pronunciation of the name in Japanese. In the early ''[[Harmony Gold USA|Harmony Gold]] English Dragon Ball'' dub from the [[1980s]], he is known as '''Bongo'''. His [[seiyū]] is [[Mayumi Tanaka]]. In the English dub he is voiced by [[Sonny Strait]] and [[Terry Klassen]] (as an adult) and by [[Laurie Steele]] (as a kid).
 
Kuririn is introduced in Dragon Ball, and appears similar to a typical [[shaolin]] [[monk]], with a bald head and incense burns on his forehead (but he has 6 burns on his head, as opposed to the 9 burns associated with Shaolin). Later in the Dragon Ball Z series, he grows his hair out as he settles down and becomes family oriented. Kuririn is the only human in the series who doesn't have a visible nose, even though in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai, he is seen to exhibit behaviors that are associated with the nose. In the beginning of the series, Kuririn is seen to have a love for women, however, this soon fades as the series continues. At his introduction, Kuririn was seen to be a rival student of [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]]'s, however, he quickly became his best friend while training under [[Muten-Rôshi]]. Later in the series, he can also be seen to have a close relationship with Goku's son, [[Son Gohan|Gohan]]. Kuririn eventually settles down and marries a cyborg named [[Android 18]], having a daughter named [[Marron (Dragon Ball)|Marron]].
