About this converter
Dragon Ball heights are fixed in the guidebooks even when the animation wobbles. Goku stands 175 cm, Vegeta 164, and Piccolo towers at 226. The villains scale bigger: Perfect Cell is 213 cm and fat Buu is 240. This page collects the official adult heights in one table with the era each figure belongs to, because characters like Tien and Krillin grew between Dragon Ball and Z. Weights from the same guides sit in the notes for anyone checking proportions for art or cosplay.
How to use it
Pick two fighters and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first fighter, one the matching count of the second, one the height in the chosen unit. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Cell against Krillins.
Forms change heights, so each entry pins one form: Perfect Cell, fat Buu, adult base Goku. Fusion and Great Ape forms are out of scope for this table. Guidebook weights come from the same pages as the heights, which keeps every proportion on one consistent source instead of mixing books.
FAQ
How tall is Goku?
175 cm (5 ft 9 in) as an adult, per Daizenshuu 7.
How tall is Vegeta?
164 cm (5 ft 5 in) as an adult, 11 cm shorter than Goku.
How tall is Broly?
There is no single official Broly height in the classic guidebooks, so he is left out rather than guessed. The listed fighters all have published figures.
Why is Buu listed at 240 cm?
That is the Dragon Ball Z era guidebook value for fat Buu. Super-era material lists him shorter, which the entry note says.
