NAPPA RACE -- saiya-jin BIRTHPLACE -- Vegeta-sei YEAR OF BIRTH -- ? NEXT OF KIN -- ? Nappa's not a very important character.... He was the *bodyguard* to Vegeta ever since Vegeta was very young. (But Vegeta didn't really NEED a bodyguard.) Nappa was one of the very few surviving saiya-jins. He comes with Vegeta to Earth to collect the dragonballs and wish for immortality. He's atleast twice Vegeta's (adult) size! Nappa's a big burly guy and is bald with a mustache. If you watch the Bardock TV special, you get to see a younger Nappa with hair o_O. Upon arrival on Earth, Nappa and Vegeta fight Tienshinhan, Chaotzu, Yamcha, Kuririn, Piccolo, and Gohan (Goku is en route of being brought back to life). When Goku gets to the scene, he fights Nappa. Goku ends up breaking the brute's back. Nappa implores to Vegeta to help him up. Vegeta grabs his hand... and HURLS Nappa, dumbstruck, into the air. Vegeta charges up to an emmense level (showing off), yells out "Shine!" [pronounced: shee-nay] (translation: die) and blasts Nappa -- killing him. Vegeta kills Nappa because he lost his battle to Goku, in Vegeta's mind [ack! scary!], a fight can only end with the weaker one dead. He feels that Nappa is no longer of any use to him if he can't kill a low level saiya-jin [Nappa and Vegeta are both super elites].
