Background/History: Tenshinhan is one of the first really powerful characters that Goku encountered. Trained by Tsurusennin (a rival of Kamesennin), Tenshinhan fought Goku in the 22nd and 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, winning the 22nd, but loosing to Goku in the 23rd. In both Tenkaichi Budokais Tenshinhan demonstrated some amazing chi powers, several of which were never seen again.

After the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai, Tenshinhan renounced his association with Tsurusennnin and became one of the Z-fighters, helping Goku battle the Evil Demon King Piccolo, Nappa, Vegita, Freeza, and Cell. He was killed battling Nappa and Vegita and almost dies later on in a fight with Cell. Although a secondary character, Tenshinhan is a powerful fighter, with some impressive chi powers, and appeared frequently throughout the series.

Personality/Motivation: Tenshinhan was originally very arrogant, and very sure of himself. He shattered Yamcha's leg in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai and was very confident about beating Goku in the finals. Interestingly enough, he was angered by Tsurusennin having Chao-zu interfere in the fight and demanded that Chao-zu stop. When Kamesennin rescued Chao-zu from injury and/or death, Tenshinhan began to doubt his former training. He also stated that he was not a killer, and had no desire to replace Tao-pie-pie (Tsurusennin's brother) as an assassin. Tenshinhan became more of an honorable fighter, disdaining the use of weapons and other tricks and preferring to win his fights fairly, using only his own skills and chi powers.

Tenshinhan's closest friend and constant sidekick is the diminutive Chao-zu. The two are inseparable and are often found together. Tenshinhan is very protective of him, and will do his best to keep him out of harm's way.

Powers/Tactics: Tenshinhan is the master of a number of unique chi powers, many of which he only used once. Starting from the top, we have:

Dodonpa: This is a powerful chi blast that is shot from one finger. Initially, the Dodonpa was more powerful than the Kamehameha, but the Kamehameha can be increased.
Kamehameha: The signature attack of the series, the Kamehameha is a powerful blast of chi energy created by cupping one's hands to the side and then thrusting out with the arms.
Kiai: By focusing his chi and yelling, Tenshinhan can dispel and dissipate incoming chi attacks.
Shinkikoho: Tenshinhan brings his hands in front of his face, touching thumbs and index fingers. Sighting through the open space, he then unleashes a massive blast of chi energy that vaporizes anything it hits. This attack can be very deadly, however, and can kill the user.
Taiyokan: This technique releases a bright flash of light from the body, blinding anyone nearby.
Shishen no Ken (12 Eyes): By using this technique, Tenshinhan can divide himself into 4 identical duplicates, each 1/4 the power and speed of the original.
Shiyoken: This allows Tenshinhan to grow an additional set of arms, allowing him much greater flexibility in hand-to-hand combat.
Zazoken (One pattern): By moving quickly, Tenshinhan can leave an afterimage behind, confusing his opponents as to where he really is.

Naturally, Tenshinhan can utilize a number of other, more common, chi techniques, including flight, moving too fast to be seen, detecting other's chi, and deflecting (and possibly reflecting) chi blasts fired at him.

Appearance: Tenshinhan is tall and broad, standing at least six feet in height. He is well muscled, bald, and has three eyes (With the third set right above his nose in the lower half of his forehead.). He normally dresses in green trousers, white boots and a yellow sash for a belt. At other times he wears a partial tunic that leaves most of his chest bare. When fully dressed, he wears Mandarin Chinese looking clothing.

Tenshinhan has a long scar running across the right side of his chest. This is a result of a fight with Tao-pie-pie, after Tao-pie-pie was rebuilt as a cyborg.
