"Stop doubting your own abilities and start listening with your mind. Calm your thoughts." - Mr. Popo
Mr. Popo is an assistant deity who serves as the attendant to Earth's Guardian. He also tends the grounds of the Lookout. Although he is bound there eternally as the gardener and caretaker, he can instantaneously travel anywhere in the world when the occasion calls for it by using a magic carpet.
Appearance
Mr. Popo takes the form of a short, plump humanoid. His distinguishing features include his markedly dark complexion, red lips, and pointy ears. Interestingly, he possesses neither a nose nor teeth, though in early episodes of Dragon Ball he is shown to possess a single tooth. He has a modest stature and appears to be a grade shorter than the average Earthling. He nearly always wears a smile, but does express a range of emotions depending on the circumstances. His polite, formal style complements his calm demeanor and upright posture. Mr. Popo's appearance does not change over the span of years comprising Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT. This agelessness results from his Otherworldly origins.
Mr. Popo's outfit likewise never changes during the course of the series. He is always seen wearing a white turban adorned with an aqua-colored jewel resting on his forehead. He also sports a single gold hoop earring on each ear. On his upper body, he wears a maroon-patterned, gold-trimmed sleeveless vest that exposes part of his torso, as well as gold armbands on his upper arms. He touts a red sash around his waist. His white pants appear in the style of harem trousers, wrapping in around his ankles. And on his feet, he wears a pair of red slippers with white soles.
Biography
Background

Techniques
- Floating Popo Defense – A defensive technique used against Goten and Trunks. Named in the Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game.
- Ki Sense – Mr. Popo is one of the first people shown to sense ki and track the movements of others as he used it to defeat Goku. Additionally during his training of Goku he teaches the boy how to refine his Ki Sense (which Goku had recently acquired as a result of drinking the Ultra Divine Water) to sense an opponent's attacks instead of relying on his eyes.
- Levitate – This is the ability to fly using one's ki. Mr. Popo can quickly control his energy and push ki out from underneath him allowing him to fly or levitate in the air with ease.
- Magic Materialization – A magical ability used to create objects from seemingly thin air. Mr. Popo can bring out a rolled-up ball of carpet from nowhere and throw it upon the ground which, instead of actually touching the floor, opens up in mid-air and becomes his magical flying carpet.
- Dragon Ball Creation - In Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, Mr. Popo creates his own set of Dragon Balls after Goku's resurrection and Kami's death. However his version of Shenron isn't as powerful and cannot be used to wish back deceased characters, but has the advantage of being able to be reused constantly after being re-gathered and seemingly capable of summoning someone as powerful as Legendary Super Saiyan Broly (though it is unclear if this Broly is the real one or simply a creation of Mr. Popo's Shenron to provide the Dragon Team a challenging foe).
- Energy Absorption – Mr. Popo can swallow blasts of ki as shown in Dragon Ball when he fought Goku at Kami's Lookout. Devouring Goku's Kamehameha resulted in a smoky belch.
- Immortality – As the eternal caretaker of The Lookout and assistant/teacher to the Earth's Guardians, he possesses ageless-immortality, enabling him to outlive all former guardians and help properly train the next guardian. However, it appears he can be killed as he was vulnerable to Super Buu's Transfiguration Beam and the explosion of Earth.
- Bōjutsu - The art of wielding a staff. Mr. Popo demonstrates this talent while training Goku in the anime.
- Faster than Lightning (カミナリよりも速はやく!!, Kaminari yori mo Hayaku!!) - Mr. Popo's Super Attack in Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle. Popo flies at the opponent on his Magic Carpet and hits the opponent with a rush attack. This attack's name comes from the original japanese title for the Dragon Ball episode "Quicker Than image widget
