A master martial artist once known far and wide. He trained Goku and Krillin in the ways of the Turtle School when they were children. Though he is skilled and rather strong, he is quite the pervert, oftentimes getting himself into trouble with women.
He is much older than he looks, being around 332 years old when the Saiyans first arrived on Earth. When he was younger, he trained under a martial artist known as Mutaito, and was later joined by the Crane Hermit. The two students did not get along well, and their disdain for one another still stands to this day. After establishing the Turtle School, Master Roshi took the Ox-King and Goku's adoptive grandfather Gohan as his first students.
In the 21st and 22nd World Tournaments, he disguised himself as Jackie Chun with his pupils' future in mind, acting as an obstacle to teach them the harsh reality of combat. By the 23rd tournament, Roshi acknowledged that his pupils had surpassed him, attending instead as a spectator.

In terms of power, he was eventually surpassed by Goku and Krillin, but he is still greatly respected by the two, as well as by Tien and the others. Krillin, who has given up martial arts to focus on his marriage with Android 18 and their daughter, now lives with Master Roshi at Kame House.
