Videl (ビ ー デ ル, Bīderu) is a fictional character from the Dragon Ball franchise, created by Akira Toriyama and appears for the first time in Chapter 421 of the Dragon Ball manga originally published in Shūkan Shōnen Jump Number 23 on May 11, 1993. His name is a pun on his father's name, Mr. Satan. Within the series, she is a martial arts expert like her father and uses her skills to fight crime in the city. She is Gohan's love interest and plays an important role during the story in which he is the main character in Dragon Ball. When Gohan appears as a disguised vigilante known as the Great Saiyaman, he quickly discovers his identity and blackmails him into teaching him new techniques using his ki. After the main antagonist in the story, Majin Boo, is defeated, the two establish an established lifestyle and later have a daughter named Pan.
Reception of Videl has been generally positive among fans of the series, while commentators have mixed opinions about her relevance as a character. As one of the few major female characters in Dragon Ball, commentators have described her role in the series, as well as other Dragon Ball outlets, as either significant or inconsequential.
