Yajirobe is a ronin (masterless samurai) who met Goku while the latter was searching for Tambourine. He spends most of his time with Korin on Korin Tower, and usually delivers Senzu Beans to the Dragon Team. Despite his obesity and desire to avoid fighting, he is quite strong and swift in his movement, also being highly skilled with his katana. Yajirobe is a fat samurai vagabond who eventually started living with Korin. Yajirobe acts as Korin's messenger later on, mostly being paid in food.
