[Manga]; Episode 066 [Anime, DBZ]Appearances: DBZ, DBSSeiyuu: N/AVoice Actor: N/AYamoshi was a Saiyan in a appearance of Vegeta who had a righteous heart that existed long before Planet Vegeta. Along with his five allies, Yamoshi started a rebellion against the evil Saiyans, he was cornered and became a Super Saiyan, but was still defeated. According to Shenron's story from the Namekian Book of Legends, Yamoshi's five righteous comrades helped him to transform into the Super Saiyan God, however while he overwhelmed the evil Saiyans, his power vanished as quickly as it came and as such he and his comrades were wiped out. However his spirit continued to search for a new Super Saiyan God. A Namekian elder tribe sympathized with Yamoshi's spirit and so recorded the information about him in the Namekian Book of Legends.

The original legend of Yamoshi as a Super Saiyan was more about his power than the Saiyan himself, stating that he had achieved a level of power so overwhelming that it could only be maintained in a transformed state. When the anime episode was released, a filler scene in the episode "Goku's New Power" was added showing the Super Saiyan as a Oozaru with yellowish colored fur instead of the standard brown, implying that he had achieved Golden Oozaru. This may be possible Toei Animation based this transformation off what they had created years prior.

Eventually, Yamoshi himself was fabled to have been destroyed by his own power, and the filler visual in the anime suggests that his power destroyed the planet that he was on. In the series, the form was believed to be a myth, until Vegeta began to suspect that Goku was a Super Saiyan after seeing his drastic increase in power in a short period of time. Vegeta's suspicions aren't confirmed until later, when Goku transforms against Freeza, and states that he was a Super Saiyan.
