Seventeen years ago, Yamcha was a notorious bandit and has been a long time friend of Goku since, but his past before that time is a total mystery. His Wolf Fang kung fu and extensive knowledge of nearly all Tenka Ichi Budokai competitors, techniques, mythology, and legends make one believe he was instructed under a master long before his bandit days.

From the beginning, Yamcha's ultimate goal was to get married. Yamcha at one time was terrified of women, but over time with his first girlfriend, Bulma, he managed to at least remain coherant, although his shyness never truly left. Bulma has since left him for the Saiyan Prince, Vegeta, the man responsible for his one time death, and requested that Yamcha move out of her parents' monolithic residence, Capsule Corp.

As a fighter, Yamcha has always been competent, but his distraction by Bulma and having a job have kept him from training and his battle plans always seem to backfire or be too complex to work. After being resurrected by the Dragon Balls, Yamcha developed an intense fear of dying before he will find true love. Now that Bulma has left him, Yamcha begins to accept that it's deeper than just a distraction that keeps him from becoming stronger, and he embarks on a quest to confront his past.
