Goku

Son Goku (born Kakarot) is the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball manga and anime series created by Akira Toriyama. He is based on Sun Wukong from the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West.

Goku is regarded by anime fans as one of the most powerful fictional characters to ever exist. As such, he is a popular subject of the fandom's "who would win" debates, most notably in a long-standing rivalry against comic book hero Superman, with One Punch Man protagonist Saitama recently joining the conversation as well.

Despite his iconic status, Goku falls into the category of shonen guys who perform poorly in otaku-oriented saimoe tournaments. A Goku vs. Saitama match actually happened in an early Best Character 5 round, but that's already a foregone conclusion considering the massive seed diparity between them.
