#REDIRECT [[List of Dragon Ball characters#Chiaotzu]]
Chaozu (餃子, Chaozu?) is seemingly a small, doll-like human with plain white skin and red cheeks; his name is based off of the food jiaozi. In Chinese Folk Lore there are ghosts called Jiang Shi (僵屍 or 殭屍). They are described as having white skin, red cheeks, and wearing a Qing Dynasty outfit similar to Chaozu. These ghosts can not walk, only hop, and they always keep their arms stretched out in front of them. These Ghosts often eat living humans although some stories have good versions.

When first introduced Chaozu is a student of the Crane Hermit (a rival of Muten-Rôshi) and the constant companion of fellow student Tenshinhan; he quickly amends his ways though and joins Goku and his friends. While not outstanding in physical prowess compared to other superhuman warriors in Dragon Ball, Chaozu has considerable potency in psionics, especially in psychokinesis. Chaozu is not very well educated, as shown in the Tenshinhan Saga. At one point during the 22nd Martial Arts Tournament, Chaozu calls Kuririn a "squid" (__魚) due to his shaved head. Kuririn is angered and said that Chaozu was also bald. But Chaozu took off his cap, revealing a single strand of hair on top of his head (which makes Kuririn very angry). Chaozu lost his match in the 22nd Martial Arts Tournament when Kuririn confused him with easy math problems. After that, Chaozu watched the rest of the tournament from the sidelines. He later joined Master Roshi's cause.

After the tournament, when Piccolo Daimao is revealed to the world, Chaozu goes with Master Roshi and Tenshinhan to find the Dragon Balls. He succeeds with his friends, but is killed by Piccolo before he can wish the demon's demise. Later, Chaozu is brought back to life and goes with Tenshinhan, Kuririn, and Yamcha to train with Karin. Three years later he participates in the next Tenkaichi Budokai, but loses in the preliminaries to Tao, and after that watches from the sidelines.

In Dragon Ball Z, Chaozu trains with his Z Warriors mates with Kami to defend from Vegeta and Nappa. When they arrive, Chaozu is the second to die, he blows himself up on Nappa's back to destroy him, but gets killed, as it was a sacrifice. In the Afterlife, he trains with the North Kai along with Tenshinhan, Yamcha, and Piccolo. He is wished back to life much later, and trains with Tenshinhan in the mountains for the next few years until the Androids arrive. He doesn't participate in the battle, he just takes care of Goku at Master Roshi's house. Once the threat of Cell is eliminated, he goes with Tenshinhan back to the mountains for the next seven years, until Buu attacks. He is only seen thrice, sensing Super Saiyan 3 Goku's power with Tenshinhan, dodging Buu's genocide attack, and donating energy to Goku's Genki Dama. After that he is seen at a party at Bulma's house, his last appearance in Dragon Ball Z.

In Dragon Ball GT, he only appears in the end where he is training with Tenshinhan by a waterfall and sees Goku pass him by, riding on Shenlong.

Chaozu's importance in the series rapidly diminishes after his introduction in the Tenshinhan Saga, where he is a major character. He is a minor character in the subsequent King Piccolo Saga, Piccolo Jr. Saga and Vegeta Saga, and is more-or-less a background character for the others. Chaozu also has a prominent role in the Dragon Ball movie "Mystical Adventure".
