When Gohan was four years old, Earth was threatened by Goku's brother Raditz, who arrived to claim his brother and bring him over to the Saiyan side. During this battle, Goku was killed, and Gohan was kidnapped by Piccolo, who planned to train him to fight the Saiyans coming to Earth. Although Gohan and Piccolo did not get along at first, they soon developed a strong bond as Piccolo became concerned for Gohan's well-being and became his mentor.
