:'' "Kaio" may also refer to [[Kaio Hiroyuki]] a professional [[sumo]] wrestler.'' |
|||
:'' "Kaiō" is also a [[Japan]]ese surname. It can refer to several people or fictional characters, including [[Michiru Kaioh]], a character in [[Sailor Moon]]. |
|||
The '''Kaiô''' ('''Kai''') are upper-level gods of the fictional [[Dragon Ball]] universe. The name Kaiô is a conjunction of the word for kai for 'World' and ô for 'King'. There are five per galaxy, with one presiding over each of the four quadrants and the last (the '''[[Dai Kaiô]]''' or '''Grand Kai''') overseeing them all. The Kaiô are responsible for the lower-level gods [[Kami (Dragon Ball)|Kami]], who rule over individual planets. The Kaiô reside in the [[Other World]]. |
|||
Above the Kaiô are the '''Kaiôshin''' (in English dubbed '''Supreme Kai'''), who look after the entire universe. Like the regular Kaiô;, there is one for each quadrant (a collection of four galaxies) and a '''Dai Kaiôshin''' to preside over them. Or at least that was the established order, until Majin Buu killed or absorbed most of the Kaiôshin, with only the East Kaiôshin surviving. |

All Kaiô are colorful skinned toad-like creatures with sunglasses. |

*[[North Kaio|North Kaiô]] - ('''King Kai''') The Kaiô of the quandrant of the galaxy where [[Earth (Dragon Ball)|Earth]] resides. In the English manga, he is also known as ''Lord of the Worlds''. Very humorous; if you laugh at his stupid jokes he will like you. Trains those who can reach the end of the never ending Snakeway road. He trained Goku, who succeeded in doing so and taught him very powerful techniques that have been essential to many of his battles: the [[Genki Dama]] (Spirit Bomb) and the [[List of Dragon Ball special abilities#Kaiô-ken|Kaiô-ken]]. |
|||
*[[East Kaio|East Kaiô]] - This Kaiô is a woman with pale lime-green skin and orange-blonde hair at the After-Life Budoukai, though she had no participants from her quadrant. Her quadrant is known for having fast fighters, like Globe. Rides a hover bike. |
|||
*[[West Kaio|West Kaiô]] - Very short and chubby, purple Kaiô with a monocle. His star pupil is [[List of other Aliens in Dragon Ball#Paikuhan|Paikuhan]] ('''Pikkon'''). |
|||
*[[South Kaio|South Kaiô]] - Rival of North Kaiô, he claims his pupil, [[Papoi]], would mop the floor with Goku. South Kaiô also makes fun of North Kaiô for being dead. His quadrant has the reputation of being a peaceful area of space because all the fighters from this quadrant are comparatively weak. He is the only other Kaiô to appear in the manga. |
|||
*[[Dai Kaio|Dai Kaiô]] - Eccentric and cooky, sly-talking old man that likes rock music. Hosts the After-life Budokai. Reputed to be the greatest fighter in the universe, but he has been out of training for centuries. Still trains others. |
