He is a child from Planet Namek, who helped Son Gohan and Kuririn use the Dragon Balls, and was sent to Earth along with the rest of his revived race. Later when Earth needed a new guardian, he was chosen, and helped create the new set of Dragon Balls made from the old ones. Since then he's been Earth's guardian.
