Son Goku
From Wikipedia ~
In Saiyuki, Son Goku, like the legendary Sun Wukong, is a deity who was imprisoned in a cave for five hundred years. When Sanzo was dispatched by the gods to journey to the west and stop a process that was causing the world's demons to go mad and turn on the humans with whom they had lived peacefully, Son Goku accompanied him, along with the demon Cho Hakkai and the half-demon Sha Gojyo.
Son Goku is a skilled fighter with the nyoi-bou (nyoi-b?). Although a deity, he is kept in human form with a golden power limiter that he wears as a coronet. When this is removed, he goes berserk and is unable to distinguish friend from foe. He is known for his voracious appetite. The power-limiting coronet concept is inspired by the original Chinese legend.
In the anime and manga, Goku is seen as a monster rather than a demon, and cannot die no matter how brutally he's beaten or how long he goes without food. He's a bottomless pit for food, and extremely affectionate. It has also been said that he was born from a rock. Thus, he has no parents and Genjo Sanzo acts as a guardian to him in his former and current life. Goku is very attached to Sanzo and if Sanzo ever gets hurt, Goku tends to lose it, and his fighting ability greatly increases.
He's voiced by Soichiro Hoshi, a good friend of Akira Ishida, who voices Hakkai. In the English dub, he's voiced by Greg Ayres, who was a fan of Goku even before the dub.
