Bonyu (ボニュー, Bonyū) was a former Ginyu Force member who appears in a short sub-quest^[1]in the video game Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.^[2]

Appearance

Bonyu is a chubby and busty member of the Brench-seijin race, she has the same hairdo and facial features as Vados, and her eyes have green irises.

She wears the female version of the V-Neck Battle Armor of the Ginyu Force with thigh protection. She also uses a green Scouter of the same model/generation that the Ginyu Force used in Dragon Ball Z.

Personality

Bonyu is an incredibly adept individual, being highly intelligent and a capable warrior. However she was lacking in Ginyu's view of charisma and could not keep up with the Ginyu Force's posing which Bonyu herself found detestable.

Biography

Pre-Dragon Ball Z

At some point, Bonyu became part of the Frieza Force, she was recruited by Captain Ginyu as the first member of his elite Ginyu Force. However, she couldn't keep up with the Ginyu Force's habit of weird posing, which she found detestable and asked to leave the group though she remained a serving soldier in the ranks of the Frieza Force.

Power

As a former member of the Ginyu Force, Bonyu is strong enough to join such an elite mercenary force.
