Android 18

From the dragonball universe, Android 18 is a human remodeled as an android by Dr. Gero. She becomes a good guy after Gohan defeats Cell. Android 17's twin sister, one of the androids created for making Cell perfect. She is slightly less powerful than 17. She becomes Krillin's wife, and has a kid with him named Marin, much to Goku's surprise. She uses computer speak every now and again, demonstrated in her amazement to how Vegeta became so much stronger in such a short time, after training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, saying "It just doesn't compute 16, there's just no way".
Android 18: Whoever owns these clothes should have their optic sensors adjusted. They are obviously malfunctioning.

Raditz

Goku's (Kakarot, Kakarrot) saiyan brother. He is a first class warrior, presumably making him stronger than "lower-class" saiyans like Tarble and Goku. and makes his first appearance in the first episode of Dragonball Z (DBZ for short). His name is a pun on Radish.

Raditz is a typical saiyan, he's naturally violent in nature, and his evil becomes even more clear as the series goes on. When he shows up, he is the strongest fighter on earth, and non of the Z Warriors had a chance against him alone. However Piccolo and Goku join forces momentarily to help stop him. He meets his end when Goku has him in a hold from behind, and having being weakened by Gohan's earlier attack (a flying, head-on (literally) attack while his power level was 1,370)), he is unable to break free.

As you might have guessed, Goku sacrifices himself to kill Raditz. He is killed with Piccolo's "Special Beam Canon" attack and it goes right through Raditz as well as Goku, killing them both.
Raditz was the first villain to die in the Dragonball Z Series.

Tien Shinhan

Tien's full name, a pupil of Master Shen, the crane hermit. He starts off as a bad guy but begins to become good after Master Roshi's lecture, during his fight with Jackie Chun (Roshi in disguise). He is chiaotzu's best friend. He was taught how to fight by Mercenary Tao. He refers to Master Roshi as Master, after defeating Tao, and abandoning his loyalty to Master Shen. Chiaotzu follows suit and also becomes good.
Tien Shinhan is arguably the strongest full blooded human on Earth in Dragon Ball Z. While it has been shown that he is stronger than Yamcha, it has never been further explained who is the strongest out of Tien and Krillin after Tien receives King Kai's training and Krillin receives the Namek Elder's unlock potential boost.

In the English Dub, Tien is the only character, aside from Goku (Son), and Bulma's (Brief) family, to have an official last name stated.

Android 17

From the dragonball universe, Android 17 is Android 18's twin brother. They were created by Dr. Gero to kill Goku, the one responsible for the fall of the Red Ribbon Army, and to make his last creation, Cell, reach his full potential by absorbing them through his tail.
Android 17 and 18 were designed to make Cell perfect.

Gogeta

The resulting fusion between Goku and Vegeta. He is the most powerful Z Fighter, next to Vegito, who would be more powerful than him in their regular and super saiyan states, due to the different methods of fusion, his form also only lasts for 30 minutes, and only 10 minutes while in Super saiyan 4.

In Fusion Reborn, Gogeta is not seen as cocky whatsoever when compared to his Super Saiyan 4 form, and eliminates his enemy quickly. As a Super Saiyan 4 however, he acts somewhat similarly to his Potara counterpart Vegito as they both toy around with their respective opponent in order to achieve their true goal.

He is also the only fusion to be dead, as both Goku and Vegeta were deceased when they fused and fought Janemba.

Gogeta is the only Fused Saiyan character (Potara or Fusion Dance) to successfully defeat a villain without the fusion wearing off (he defeats Janemba without even coming close to running out of time).
Gogeta is the only Saiyan fused or otherwise to not be shown with a base form, although when he dies in Buu's Fury like any Super Saiyan who dies, his hair turns black and he also appears there as Veku and a unique skinny Gogeta, both black haired.
