King Piccolo (ピッコロ大魔王 Pikkoro Daimaō, lit. Piccolo the Great Demon King) is a character from the anime and manga series Dragon Ball, and appears from time to time in a couple flashbacks of Dragon Ball Z. He is introduced as a Mazoku (Demon) in the story who once precipitated the Earth into utter chaos and pandemonium,spawning an army of animal-like Namekian sons and converting a peaceful planet into a living hell.Later, it is revealed that he is the evil counter-part of Kami; the two were once a single entity. King Piccolo's name is based on the instrument of the same name — hence, all of his sons share the names of various musical instruments. While he is named after a flute, the others are named after percussion instruments.
