Gohan

The look

Young Gohan's early battle appearance is strongly influenced by Piccolo. The recognizable version uses a martial-arts uniform with a sleeveless orange/red-toned gi, neck scarf, belt, boots, and Gohan's distinctive young Saiyan hairstyle. This is one of the most recognizable early versions of Gohan and is particularly associated with his training before the Saiyan conflict.

Base costume

1. 01Young Gohan martial-arts gi — loose-fitting orange/red training uniform.
2. 02Neck scarf — the early outfit's distinctive scarf-like collar.
3. 03Waist belt/sash — tied around the waist.
4. 04Dark wrist/arm details — depending on the exact reference.
5. 05Saiyan-style boots — sturdy martial-arts boots.

7. 07Optional Dragon Ball insignia — depending on the specific outfit reference.
