In ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', Upa first appears as a five year old and has beady eyes. He has long black hair which is braided and he wears a red and white feather. He wears the traditional clothing of the [[Karinga Tribe]] (whom are based on Native Americans in the real world). His outfit consists of a tan colored vest with a blue sash and tan colored pants.

When appearing in the [[Vegeta Saga]] of ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'', Upa is 16 years old. He is a muscular young man and has darker skin, his skin being the same tone as his father. He also wears an outfit similar to what Bora wore in Dragon Ball. However, Upa still has the same beady eyes and still wears a feather in his hair.
  +

In the [[Kid Buu Saga]], Upa is now 29 years old. His muscles have become noticeably more defined, and his eyes are now a more normal shape instead of their previously beady appearance. He has this same appearance when appearing in ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'', where he is 44 years old.

Being a five-year old, he's timid and a little cowardly but because he was able to ride the [[Nimbus Cloud]], he has a pure heart. He looks up to his father [[Bora]] and his new friend [[Goku]] and strives to be like them. He's kind and loyal to his friend and does show some signs of bravery as he does attempt to challenge [[Mercenary Tao]] with a spear after thinking the former killed Goku in their rematch (albiet meekly). As he got older he became braver and a capable leader.

When Tao returns to the Korin Tower's base to find the missing Dragon Ball, Upa flings an axe aimed at Tao's head, but Tao dodges this with ease, kicks Upa upwards into the air and instantly grabs him with one hand, whilst demanding Upa tells him where the Four-Star Dragon Ball is. After Upa refuses to tell him, Mercenary Tao flings Upa towards the pole of Korin Tower. He is then luckily saved by Goku, who returns from his training with [[Korin]]. Goku overpowers and defeats Tao.

Upa later accompanies Goku for a short time during the [[Fortuneteller Baba Saga]], in order to recover all of the Dragon Balls so they can wish his father back to life. When [[Krillin]] first meets Upa, he thinks that Upa is a cute girl. He is disgusted when he finds out otherwise and apologizes to Upa. Upa participates in the fight against [[Fortuneteller Baba]]'s fighters and helps [[Puar]] defeat [[Fangs the Vampire]], using the mythological weapons against [[vampire]]s such as garlic breath and the shape of a cross. When Fangs turns into a [[bat]], Puar, using [[shapeshifting]], turns into a hand and swats Fangs into the water, allowing Puar and Upa to win the match. After Bora is revived, Upa tells his father that he will climb Korin Tower also. It is never revealed whether or not he succeeded.

— "We Are the Five Warriors"


Upa (ウパ Upa) is a member of the native tribe whose members serve as the guardians of Korin Tower. His father, Bora, is the chief of the tribe.

Appearance

In Dragon Ball, Upa first appears as a five year old and has beady eyes. He has long black hair which is braided and he wears a red and white feather. He wears the traditional clothing of the Karinga Tribe (whom are based on Native Americans in the real world). His outfit consists of a tan colored vest with a blue sash and tan colored pants. He also wears moccasins and his pants are similar to the buckskin pants worn by Native Americans in the real world.

When appearing in the Vegeta Saga of Dragon Ball Z, Upa is 16 years old. He is a muscular young man and has darker skin, his skin being the same tone as his father. He also wears an outfit similar to what Bora wore in Dragon Ball. However, Upa still has the same beady eyes and still wears a feather in his hair.

In the Kid Buu Saga, Upa is now 29 years old. His muscles have become noticeably more defined, and his eyes are now a more normal shape instead of their previously beady appearance. He has this same appearance when appearing in Dragon Ball GT, where he is 44 years old.

Upa is with his father when he is being interrogated by Captain Yellow from the Red Ribbon Army for his Dragon Ball. After Bora defeats Captain Yellow's men, Captain Yellow jumps into his plane and kidnaps Upa, forcing Bora to hand over the Dragon Ball, or he will kill his son. Luckily, right on time, Goku arrives on his Flying Nimbus and takes down Captain Yellow with his plane, saving Upa from the brink of death. Upa and Bora thank Goku by giving him their Dragon Ball, which is the Four-Star ball Goku was seeking. Shortly after, Upa's father is killed mercilessly by Mercenary Tao, who came to their village to do his duty of killing Goku and retrieving the remaining Dragon Balls. After Tao blasts Goku with a Dodon Ray, Upa tries desperately to fight Tao himself while he was leaving by throwing a rock at him. However, Tao easily blows the rock back at Upa, which hits him on his head. When Tao leaves, Upa buries his father and just when he is about to bury the supposedly dead Goku, it is revealed that Goku is actually alive, with the Dragon Ball in his outfit saving him from Tao's Dodon Ray.

Trivia

  • In the Vegeta Saga and Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, Upa is shown as an adult, yet he still has dot eyes, however, in the Kid Buu Saga and Dragon Ball GT, he has normal eyes.
  • In the Spanish dub, there seems to be some confusion as to whether Upa is a male or female. Bora once refers to him as his daughter, and then in another episode Upa is addressed as a boy. Apparently Krillin wasn't the only one to be confused about Upa's gender.
  • In the Creation Corps 1996 dub, Upa's name is changed to Little Feather.
