From the anime Dragonball Z, Kaioken is the fighting technique taught to Goku (the only one to master this technique) by King Kai. Though King Kai created this technique, he admits that not even he is able to fully master it.
The technique is very similar to going super saiyan, although the power increase is not as high, it is very effective before Goku first transforms. Goku discontinues using the Kaioken attack after his fight with Pikkon, opting instead to attain high super saiyan levels.
The technique only last a few seconds according to Goku so you "have to get the job done quickly". It momentarily greatly increases your speed, strength and abilities, allowing you to achieve a power level unobtainable without the use of this technique.
Through experience and training, the user can achieve multiple 'levels' of Kaioken, increasing the users abilities even further. However, according to King Kai, if you go up too far, your body will not able to handle it, and all the mass in your body will be replaced by energy, thereby making it explode. Goku is able to withstand a 4x Kaioken while fighting Vegeta, (putting his fighting power well over 23,000) in order to counter his Galick Gun attack. However, after this feat his body is thrashed and has no other way of attacking other than using the spirit bomb, another technique exclusive to Goku and King Kai. Cell states that he could use this technique if he wanted to, however.

An alternate spelling of Frieza, one of the main villains in the dragonball series. Both spellings are valid and can be used interchangeably, much like Kakarot.
He is defeated once by the recently super saiyan Goku, and is killed by Trunks at the beginning of the android saga, after being restored and now mostly machine, his father, King Cold is also killed in the same episode.

Freeza was the most powerful being in the universe, until Goku came along and handed his ass to him after transforming into a super saiyan.

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.

The prince of all saiyans. He is dragonball z's second villain (along with nappa). He is named after his father and his home planet, formerly Planet Plant. It is when he first arrives on namek that he begins to change his evil ways, and later in the series, he would become one of the good guys. After witnessing Goku (Kakarot)'s strength, he understands his potential to become a super saiyan, and obsesses over becoming one throughout the rest of the series.
He falsely believes he is a super saiyan after coming back from near death some time after realizing that Goku is a super saiyan. He starts to become less evil after arriving on Earth after Frieza's defeat, but still retains his mean and arrogant attitude. He starts dedicating every hour of every day to training, pushing himself to hit limits and beyond, training at 450x normal gravity in order to become a super saiyan, and nearly killing himself in a training accident on earth. He goes to train in space as not to be bothered by Bulma or anyone else, and finally transforms on a planet where a meteor shower was going on.
His name, like all Saiyans is a pun on vegetables, his name is a pun on the word vegetable.

Vegeta was able to transform into a super saiyan because of his motivation to be the best, and more importantly, better than Goku. His extreme frustration and NEEDING to experience becoming a super saiyan, he finally transforms after giving up his selfish ambition. For the brief period of time between Goku getting sick and transforming, he becomes stronger than him, but is surpassed during his training in other world where he learns to become a super saiyan 3. He does not surpass Goku until he transforms into a super saiyan 4.
