A formidable native who resides at the base of Karin Tower with his son, Upa. He is muscular, tall, and a man of few words.
After befriending Son Goku, he successfully defends against Captain Yellow's men single-handedly but is later killed by Tao Pai Pai, who was searching for Goku. Goku avenges him by training under Karin and defeating Tao Pai Pai himself. When Shenlong is summoned again, Goku wishes for Bora to be brought back to life.
In his next appearance, Bora helps Goku once more by throwing Yajirobe, who has an injured Goku on his back, up Karin Tower. Bora is seen with his son (and several other natives) in the first and last few episodes of Dragon Ball Z when the Z Warriors gather at Kami's Lookout for training against the Saiyans and when he contributes energy to Goku for his Genki Dama. He also briefly appears in the GT episode "Piccolo's Decision" when Goku visits Upa. Bora's appearance and customs are based on the stereotypical Native American.
