Fictional character from Dragon Ball
the fictional character

, known as Tenshinhan in the Japanese media and Viz Media's release of the manga, is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball franchise created by Akira Toriyama. He made his appearance in chapter #113 "The 22nd Tenkaichi Budōkai", first published in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on February 24, 1987, entering the World Martial Arts Tournament to defeat Son Goku and his fellow students. However, he later teams up with them to defeat King Piccolo, accompanied by his best friend Chiaotzu. Tien becomes Goku's rival for a period and is notable for being the first person in the series to fly using Bukū jutsu and to use the Taiyōken technique. The character of Tien has received praise from reviewers of manga and anime. They praised his quest for redemption in the King Piccolo arc and his fights have been celebrated as dramatic, intense, and entertaining. Numerous pieces of merchandise have been released bearing his likeness including action figures, key chains, and capsule toys.

The character's is named after tenshindon, a chūka dish consisting of a crabmeat omelet over rice. Toriyama said that although Tien is strong and cool, he based his name on a well known Chinese food just to be "silly." Tien is loosely based on Erlang Shen from Journey to the West, a three eyed taoist deity who first appears as an adversary of Sun Wukong, later becoming his ally and rival.

Tien Shinhan is one of the strongest humans on Earth in the series. Through training with Master Shen, he became superhuman, gaining super strength, speed, agility, reflexes, the ability to fly, with telepathy, telekinesis, generate energy from his very being called ki, produce energy blasts, absorb energy and energy blasts, control as well as sense energy around him and enhance his abilities by increasing his energy through force of will.

Tien was voiced by Hirotaka Suzuoki in most media, with the exception of episodes 82 and 84 of Dragon Ball Z, where he is voiced by Kōichi Yamadera. Suzuoki said that despite joining the cast while the show had already been in production for a while, it was easy for him to relax and find his place. After Suzuoki's death in 2006, Mitsuaki Madono voiced Tien in several video games such as Burst Limit and World's Greatest Adventure, before Hikaru Midorikawa took over the role for Dragon Ball Kai and all media since. In the Funimation dub of the series, Tien is voiced by Chris Cason and John Burgmeier.

Tien is introduced as the star pupil of Master Roshi's rival, Tsuru Sen'nin, who has him and Chiaotzu enter the Tenkaichi Budōkai to prove his students' superiority. He begins as an arrogant, but talented martial artist, antagonizing Goku, Krillin, and especially Yamcha. He first fights Yamcha in the tournament, whose leg he ruthlessly breaks to win. Upon learning that Goku killed Tao Pai Pai, the younger brother of Master Shen and a mentor of Tien's, he decides to kill Goku in revenge. He fights Master Roshi (disguised as Jackie Chun) in his next match, and Roshi shakes his resolve to kill Goku. In the final fight, he battles Goku and brutally beats him down early in the fight, before Goku uses his full power, making the fight more even. Chiaotzu interferes with the fight by using his psychic powers to paralyze Goku without Tien's knowledge or consent, but once Tien realizes that Chiaotzu is cheating, he defies his master and refuses to kill Goku. Tien wins the tournament after destroying the stage with the powerful but potentially life threatening Kikōhō, and after abandons Master Shen with Chiaotzu. Launch falls in love with him and asks him to live at Kame House with her and Roshi, but Tien refuses, saying that he does not want to live with the rival of his former master. After the death of Krillin at the hands of King Piccolo, Tien and Chiaotzu offer to help Roshi in the search for the Dragon Balls. But when Chiaotzu and Roshi are both killed and Piccolo wishes for his youth, he learns the suicidal Mafūba technique in order to seal away King Piccolo. After Piccolo chooses to attack West City, Tien intercepts him despite knowing that he cannot be revived by the Dragon Balls, but must defeat Piccolo's strongest son Drum first, having to be rescued by Goku. In the final battle against King Piccolo, Tien uses the last of his energy to save Goku from Piccolo's strongest attack, but is then taken hostage by Piccolo as he cripples Goku. After Goku kills Piccolo, he is taken by Yajirobe to be healed at Korin Tower, while Tien reunites with Bulma, Yamcha, and Launch, the latter of which nurses him back to health. Tien participates in the next Tenkaichi Budōkai, where he fights the previously assumed dead Tao Pai Pai, Tien then fights Goku again in the semi finals, is defeated, and later protects their allies from being caught up in Piccolo Jr.'s attacks during the final fight. Tien prepares for training along with the other heroes at Kami's in order to fight the invading Saiyans. Tien manages to defeat a Saibaman, but when Chiaotzu sacrifices his life in a failed attempt to kill Nappa, he knowingly uses the last of his power attempting to kill Nappa, but fails. Along with Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo, he goes to King Kai's planet to train under him in the afterlife. He is revived by the Dragon Balls and prepares to fight against the returning Frieza, before Future Trunks appears and beats them to it. He trains for the battle against the Androids, but does not bring Chiaotzu as he believes that he is not strong enough. He accompanies Piccolo and Goku to fight Android 20 and Android 19. He searches for Doctor Gero's hideout. After Androids 17 and 18 are released, he tries to fight them with Vegeta, Piccolo, and Trunks, but they are all defeated. He saves Android 18 and Android 16 from being absorbed by Cell and gives them time to escape by continuously attacking Cell (who had just easily defeated Piccolo and Android 16), expending all his energy and having to be rescued by Goku. He then participates in the battle against the Cell Jr. s. When Goku returns from the afterlife and asks where Tien is, Krillin says that he is not coming. However, after Majin Buu is released, Tien appears and saves, Gohan, Dende, and Mr. Satan from being killed by Buu. He fights Buu, but is unable to damage him, and is defeated by a single kick. He and Chiaotzu later contributed their energy for Goku's Genki Dama attack to defeat Buu once and for all. In a filler episode of Dragon Ball Z, during the Saiyan arc, Tien trains for the Saiyans by fighting members of their race in the past using the Pendulum Room.
