Goten was created in the series to replace Goku as the creator wanted to retire Goku from the series. However, Toriyama was forced to bring Goku back when the fans disapproved of the decision to replace the main character with an identical version of him (Goten). He looks a lot like Goku when he was a boy. Goten's appearance is very similar to Goku's childhood look, including messy, unkempt hair and a playful face. However, Goten's appearance drastically changes as he grows older, resembling his brother Gohan more than his father. Unlike his older brother, Gohan, Goten was raised in a carefree environment, and spent most of his days playing with his best friend Trunks.

Similar to his brother, however, Goten has great fighting potential. When Goten and Gohan trained together, Gohan was surprised at Goten's ability to transform into a Super Saiyan so easily. Goten and Trunks later used the Fusion Technique taught to them by Goku and Piccolo to stand against the monster Majin Buu as the world's last great hope.

As he got older, Goten gave up fighting and became much more interested in dating girls... However, In Dragon Ball GT, Goten has grown into a young man, and has become more powerful. Goten's power is displayed during various sagas of Dragon Ball GT, like the Super 17 saga, where Goten destroys countless enemies, that Goku and the other Z warriors from Dragon Ball Z would struggle with at his age. Goten and Trunks seem to have their power levels as equals, due to Goten and Trunks requesting fusion through multiple moments in Dragon Ball GT. Goten is seen to have become slightly stronger than Trunks in Dragon Ball GT, due to each statement Baby makes after controlling both Saiyan warriors (implying that there is more power in Goten than in Trunks). He has also helped in giving Goku his energy, along with the help of Trunks and Gohan.

In Trunks and Cell's futures, Goten does not exist due to Goku dying of a heart disease before the arrival of the Jinzoningen, as he was conceived shortly before the Cell Games (stated in Japanese tankoban 36).
