A mother of Son Goku (Kakarot) and Raditz, Gine is also the wife of Bardock and the grandmother of Gohan and Goten. 

Gine had a gentle personality, and unlike many other Saiyans, she was not cut out for fighting. She used be a member of Bardock's team; and while she was a part of that team, Bardock routinely saved her from many dangers on the battlefield. This caused her to develop romantic feelings for him, and the two grew to have a special bond. It was a rare case for Saiyans, who normally do not develop male-female relationships except for breeding purposes. Incidentally, Gine, who was not cut out to be warrior, would go on to work at the meat distribution center on Planet Vegeta.

On Planet Vegeta, Gine is butchering meat when Bardock returns from a mission and both greets each other in a hug. She tells Bardock that Raditz is already a fighter, and is working with Prince Vegeta. Since they are far away, though, they have not returned yet. When Bardock asks if Kakarot is still in the incubator, she replies yes and tells that took three years. Gine then say that she will take Kakarot out soon. A while later, Bardock tells Gine that he will steal an Attack Ball in the night so that they can send Kakarot to Earth. Gine questions Bardock, who reassures her that it is for Kakarot's sake. Gine then says that it is not like a Saiyan to worry about his children. Bardock shoots back that her "softness" disease spread to him too. Couple Gine and Bardock hugging each other. Later on, when Bardock brings the Attack Ball at night, he and Gine put a little grown and desperate Kakarot in it. Gine suggests they all run away, but Bardock says it is no use since they would immediately be found through the scouters. Gine nervoursly says to her son that if his father is just overthinking this, they will come after him right away. Bardock warns Kakarot not to look for too long at the full moon; they will tell Raditz about this too and Kakarot's whereabout. Bardock also warns Kakarot to watch out for the Galactic Patrolmen as the pod starts to shoots off the planet. Bardock puts his arm around Gine and both watch their son leaving Planet Vegeta. Eventually, she is killed along with most of the other Saiyans when Planet Vegeta met its destruction at the hands of the evil tyrant, Freeza.    

In the past, Goku's mother is never mentioned in the original Dragon Ball manga, nor in the anime adaptation. The character was first introduced in an interview with Akira Toriyama in the March 2014 issue of Saikyō Jump (released on February 2014), and her design was first presented in April 2014 on the Dragon Ball Minus, a short story featured in the collected volume of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman.
