Bulma (ブルマ, Buruma) is the Dragon Ball series' longest appearing female character. While she is referred to only as "Bulma" throughout the series, the English translations imply that Briefs or Brief is her family name. As common in the Dragon Ball universe, family names are based on themed objects (also useful as a mnemonic device); in her case, these are types of garments. Bulma is based off of a Japanese pun that refers to bloomers (ブルーマー, burūmā), a type of gym shorts (trousers). Voiced by: Hiromi Tsuru (Japanese), Tiffany Vollmer (English). Her original English voice actor for the Ocean Group is Lalainia Lindbjerg, and when the Canadian dub resurfaced, Maggie Blue O'Hara took over for Season 5.
In the early Harmony Gold English Dragon Ball dub from the 1980s, she is known as Lena.
Bulma has a very spunky, tomboyish, temperamental personality. She is quite spoiled and vain, is known for her extreme intellect, and is a genius inventor. Bulma is portrayed as the daughter of the family who own Capsule Corporation. She'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants and she won't let anything stand in her way, not mountains, not monsters, not even pride, in the form of her husband Vegeta: she is in fact the only person who never seems intimidated by him (although she initially was terrified of him, she later develops a tolerance of him).
Rare for a cartoon character, even in anime, her hairstyle varies considerably depending on what point the narration is in the storyline. Throughout the entire series, she has 17 different hairstyles. Bulma has turquoise hair in the anime, and purple hair in the manga. Her outfit also changes often. Bulma is the only female character to be featured topless in the series. (© <a href="
