Tagoma is a tall purple-grey humanoid alien.He wears a new type of Battle Armor coloured black, green, and red. He also has black armbands around his wrists and has a visor-like scouter that covers both his eyes.
In Dragon Ball Super Tagoma was given a more muscular look than in his movie appearance.
Personality
Tagoma is seen as a loyal member of Frieza's army. He is patient, analyzes the situation at hand, and has a higher power level than most of his subordinates.

Years after Frieza's death, the two come to Earth, collect the Dragon Balls and revive their master.

Tagoma had served in the Third Stellar Region under his superior officer, Sorbet, for years. He's one of Sorbet's finest fighters, and is described by his superior to be a fighter on par with the late Zarbon and Dodoria. When the Frieza Force forces have been outmatched in putting down an uprising in Planet Frieza 448, Sorbet, who is now standing-in-leader of the Frieza Force, has decided that there is no escape. Sorbet decides to revive Frieza so he'll reorganize the empire, and calls Tagoma to join him on a two-person spaceship to Earth. During the operation to revive Frieza, Tagoma shares his concerns about it with Sorbet, emphasizing that Frieza was an evil dictator, who they may just be better off without, Sorbet agrees but says that with the Army's current achievements and weakened power they have no other choice.[1]

They scout the planet and sees that the Pilaf Gang is collecting the Dragon Balls. Tagoma and Sorbet quickly went to Earth before they find the seventh Dragon Ball. The final Dragon Ball to be retrieved is in the ocean and Tagoma was sent down to retrieve it. Tagoma, Sorbet, and Pilaf Gang go to the desert to summon Shenron to revive Frieza. After Shenron states that he couldn't revive Frieza due to him being cut into pieces, Tagoma suggests that they use the recovery chambers they have built before. On Sorbet's spaceship, Frieza is quickly revived and made whole. Tagoma was briefly reintroduced to Frieza who he forgot who his soldiers were. Frieza starts to describes his plan to avenge his fall at the Saiyans. Tagoma says that Frieza should just ignore the Super Saiyans and focus on the universe. As a result of angering the tyrant, he is blasted by Frieza into outer space, calling Sorbet to help him while Sorbet is torn apart by his demise and screams his name.[2]
Power
- Anime
Tagoma is said by Sorbet to be on the level of Zarbon and Dodoria. After training with Frieza for several months Tagoma becomes "super-strong", powerful enough to fight and beat around Gohan. This power up results in him becoming the strongest soldier in Frieza's army.
- Movie
Tagoma possesses a power level comparable to that of Zarbon and Dodoria in their prime.[2] Tagoma is easily defeated in a single blast from Frieza in his first form (before his training), whose power level at the time was at this point lower than 530,000.
Techniques and special abilities
- Flight - The ability to fly using ki.
- Ki Blast - The most basic form of energy wave. Used in Dragon Ball Heroes.

Trivia
- While in the manga his scouter doesn't get broken by the newly revived Frieza's power level, in the movie and anime it does happen, and Tagoma spends the last moments of his life scouter-less.
- In Dragon Ball Super, Tagoma survives after telling Frieza what a bad idea his revenge plot is, as Frieza simply shoots Tagoma in both his knees and elbows. As such he's healed and survives to take part in Frieza's invasion on Earth. Unlike the movie where he's tossed into space right after Frieza's revival.
- In Dragon Ball Super, Tagoma claims to Sorbet that before Frieza's revival he only saw him for a glance while he was talking with Captain Ginyu and Dodoria, but wasn't impressed by his look.
- In an interview, the author Akira Toriyama says that there are also dual-eye types of Scouters. Tagoma is the first character to display the new version of it.[3]
