Dragon Ball Character Episode Counts

So, I'm not sure if I've mentioned this here (and I know this board is basically dead) but I've always been curious about how many episodes each character is in and what the rank would be. So I decided I'd start from episode 1 of Dragon Ball, and go through the final episode of DBZ and count it up.

This was about four years ago.

I've just now finished Dragon Ball. Not DBZ. Just Dragon Ball. So, it's slow going and I'm not exactly working around the clock, but I figure I'd share the totals. Here's the rank of every character who appeared in at least 5 episodes:

1. Goku: 153
2. Bulma: 113
3. Master Roshi: 100
4. Yamcha: 98
5. Puar: 93
6. Krillin: 92
7. Oolong: 87
8. Launch: 78
9. Tien: 67
10. Turtle: 47
11. Chiaotzu: 45
12. Announcer: 39
13. Chi-Chi: 27
13. Emperor Pilaf: 27
13. Mai: 27
13. Shuu: 27
17. Yajirobe: 26
18. King Piccolo: 22
19. Master Shen: 21
19. Upa: 21
19. Commander Red: 21
22. Piccolo: 20
23. Adjutant Black: 19
24. Piano: 18
25. Kami: 17
26. Suno: 16
27. Fortuneteller Baba: 15
28. General Blue: 14
29. Korin: 13
30. Ox-King: 12
31. Android 8: 11
32. Mr. Popo: 10
32. Mercenary Tao: 10
34. Nam: 9
35. Bora: 8
35. General White: 8
35. King Fury: 8
38. Tambourine: 7
39. Grandpa Gohan: 6
39. Ghost Usher: 6
41. Shenron: 5
41. Colonel Silver: 5
41. Sergeant-Major Purple: 5
41. King Chappa: 5
41. Panput: 5
41. Man-Wolf: 5

See you guys when I'm done in 2019!

Very interesting. I'd never have thought that Puar was in more episodes than Krillin.

She never did much, but more often that not, if Yamcha was in an episode back then, she was floating at his side.

I like how in DragonBall, we get to know most of the humans we know in DragonBall Z. However, they play a bigger role in DragonBall. There also aren't any saiyan characters in DragonBall, we don't even know what a Saiyan is until Z.
