Pan (パン), or more properly Son Pan, is a fictional character in the anime series Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. She is a Human-Saiyan quarterbreed.
[edit] Biography
Pan is the daughter of Videl and Son Gohan, which also means that she is the granddaughter of both Son Goku and Mr. Satan. She is the strongest female with Saiyan blood to ever live. In her infancy she spent a lot of time with Goku, so she trained a lot. When she was 4 years old she was already regularly flying around the world, and attempting to beat her best times. Pan is also good friends with Vegeta and Bulma's daughter Bra. It is speculated that Pan, like her father, may have a lot of hidden potential.
When Goku leaves at the end of the Dragon Ball Z series, to train Uub, he also leaves behind the very impressionable Pan who develops anger towards Goku for failing to keep his promise to visit his family and friends.
From the closing scenes of Dragon Ball Z, she is fighting Goten and appears to be victorious as Trunks holds her hand up in victory. (This also makes it clear that in the tournament Majin Buu never finished as the runner up since Goten was Buu's first opponent, in which case Goten wouldn't had been fighting Pan.) It is still hinted that she won the Tenkaichi Budokai for that.
During Dragon Ball GT, Pan goes into outer space with Goku and Trunks in order to find the Black Star Dragonballs. This was not intentional, Goten was supposed to take her place, but she hit the launch button on the space ship before he had boarded. She develops quite an attitude, and gets into a lot of trouble on different planets. Giru, the helpful little robot who travels with them, tries to protect Pan, but usually ends up getting yelled at by Pan. However, deep down Pan really has feelings for the little guy.
The very last part of the series' timeline shows Pan as an old lady with a great-great grandson called Goku Junior. It is unknown what happened to Goku Jr.'s parents. However, it is speculated that she must have had children.
Pan had raised questions before the series started over if females could go Super Saiyan or not.
It should be noted that Pan's name comes from the Pan of Roman (as well as others) mythology. That means that, at first glance, she appears to have been named after her mother Videl rather than her father Gohan. However, closer inspection reveals a double-pun on behalf of author Akira Toriyama, in that Pan is also the Japanese and Spanish word for bread<ref name = "portuguese">See Infoseek Japanese-English dictionary for pan/パン and Japanese words of Portuguese origin).</ref>, continuing her father's food-based name.
