Gohan — GREAT SAIYAMAN

The look

Gohan's Great Saiyaman identity is one of his most visually different designs. Created to conceal his identity while attending high school, the costume intentionally looks like an exaggerated superhero outfit. The official Dragon Ball site specifically identifies the costume as being created by Bulma and notes Gohan's transformation watch.

Base costume

1. 01Green bodysuit/jumpsuit — fitted superhero-style base.
2. 02White gloves — oversized superhero gloves.
3. 03White boots — tall and dramatic.
4. 04White cape — flowing behind the character.
5. 05Orange/red chest and shoulder accents.
6. 06Great Saiyaman helmet — one of the most important pieces.
7. 07Red scarf — depending on the exact Great Saiyaman reference.
8. 08Transformation watch — worn on the wrist. Tournament Version For the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai version:
9. 09Replace the helmet with sunglasses.
10. 10Add the bandana/head covering.
11. 11Keep the main Great Saiyaman suit.

Character details

• Exaggerated superhero silhouette. • Bright green dominates the costume. • Large white gloves and boots. • White cape adds movement. • Poses should intentionally imitate an over-the-top superhero.

Hair / face / makeup

• The helmet hides most of Gohan's normal hair. For the tournament disguise:
• Black spiky hair.
• Dark sunglasses.
• Headband/bandana.
• Keep the face relatively youthful because this is teenage Gohan.

Props

• Great Saiyaman helmet.
• Transformation watch.
• Sunglasses.
• Bandana.
• Optional superhero pose cards/signage for photography.

What makes the cosplay read as Gohan

The green superhero suit + white gloves + white boots + cape + helmet are essential. The exaggerated poses are just as important as the clothing.
