jinzouningen 8-gou

Android 8 is the first android to appear in the series and the eighth in the line of androids created by Dr. Gero. He bears a resemblance to the creature from Frankenstein. Goku gave him the nickname "Eighter," which is known as "Hat-chan" in Japanese and "Octavio" in the Mexican dub, and he later adopted this nickname as his real name.

He was initially encountered when Murasaki attempted to use him as a last resort to fight Goku inside Muscle Tower. However, due to his gentle nature, he refused to kill Goku and instead assisted him in defeating General White and driving the Red Ribbon Army away from Jingle Village, where he now resides.

In the anime, Android 8 makes an appearance during the King Piccolo Saga when Chow Castle is attacked by Piccolo and Snow is present. He also has minor cameo appearances in the sequels, Dragon Ball Z and GT.
