Goku began his breeding to be the right warlike creative person in the world even before the start of the originalDragon Ballseries , as his adopted grandfather , Gohan , took him under his wing both as his child and as his student . After Gohan ’s go by , Goku jump take with perhaps the greatest human battler the world had ever seen , Master Roshi . From there , Goku would go on to train with some of the most powerful entity in the universe ( including literal gods like Kami , King Kai , and finally Lord Beerus / Whis ) . With all this accumulated preparation , Goku has not only become vastly powerful on a cosmic scale , but he ’s also become an inspirational character who values hard work and believes that ’s the only way true specialty can be gained .
