 The stop motion character I'm doing is named Goku. This character came from an anime series known as Dragon Ball Z. Goku is the main character of Dragon Ball Z which he is the most recognized character whenever Dragon Ball Z is mentioned. Dragon Ball Z is basically an action anime show. This show is referred to supernatural characters that basically fight using physical strength and powers such as energy blast or shooting laser beams. Goku has human features, but he is not native to earth. Technically, he is an alien from a different race. The different race Goku came from are referred as saiyan. Saiyan is human like creatures. The difference between saiyans and humans are their characteristics and especially their physical strengths. Although Goku is a saiyan, he posses incredible strength compare to humans.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              In my figure Goku have yellow spiky hair. Naturally, Goku has black hair. Saiyans have this special ability that they could posses. This ability is classified as a legend beacause not all saiyans are able to do this process awaken this hidden ability. This hidden ability is called Super Saiyan. Super Saiyan is a whole different stage a pure saiyan can posses. Only one saiyan was able to inherit that power a long time ago.  No other saiyans were able to turn in that stage, except for Goku. As you turn super saiyan your blood starts to boil. Your body will suddenly burst with incredible energy. The power of the super saiyan is in a whole different level. It is why Goku's appearance changes when he turns super saiyan.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   The clothing Goku wears came from his old master named Master Roshi. Since Goku's first arrival to Master Roshi's home back when his little, Goku was taught there to learn how to fight. Master Roshi was impressed with Goku's lack of skill and ablility even strength in such a young age. He decided to give Goku a uniform that runs through his family. That uniform is called Kami which refers to shintoism, a native religion in Japan that worships the emperor as a decendant of the sun goddess. Goku uses this uniform through training and anywhere else because he doesn't usually wear different clothing but that uniform, but Goku usually cleans his uniform at some point in the series.
