Great Saiyaman Costume
Fight evil in style with Gohan's legendary superhero disguise.
The Great Saiyaman is the superhero alter ego created by Gohan in Dragon Ball Z to hide his identity while fighting crime in Satan City. Fans love this costume for its vibrant, retro-futuristic anime aesthetic and its mix of heroic flair and goofy charm. The look centers around a green tunic, a black bodysuit, a red cape, and his signature white and orange helmet.
