Editing Nameless Namekian (section)

====Pre-Dragon Ball====
The Nameless Namekian was born on planet Namek in Age 242 to the Namekian Katas. During his childhood, a catastrophic natural disaster struck the planet, wiping out nearly the entire Namekian population. Only a few Namekians, including the [[Guru|Grand Elder Guru]] and [[Lord Slug]] (in non-canon media), survived. To ensure his son's survival, Katas launched him into space in a Namekian spaceship. This spacecraft required basic knowledge of the ancient Namekian language to operate, and it eventually landed on Earth in the harsh, remote region known as Yunzabit Heights. Here, the Nameless Namekian spent his formative years alone, with no memory of his origins.

In the ''Dragon Ball'' storyline, Kami recounts to Mr. Popo that he has no recollection of how he arrived at Yunzabit Heights, having suffered amnesia early in his life. It wasn’t until later, when the Saiyans [[Vegeta]] and [[Nappa]] revealed his extraterrestrial origins, that Kami (as the good half of the Nameless Namekian) learned the truth. Throughout his childhood, the Nameless Namekian often gazed at the sky, seeking answers about his past. He eventually discovered the Namekian spaceship hidden on a plateau and used it as a home while awaiting some form of contact or explanation for his existence. Despite exploring Earth, he frequently returned to Yunzabit Heights, hoping for answers, but none came. 

As he wandered Earth, the Nameless Namekian's heart—initially pure—became tainted by the violence and hatred he witnessed. Later in life, he sought to become the Guardian of Earth, but the then-current guardian recognized the darkness within him. To qualify for the position, the Nameless Namekian was instructed to rid himself of his evil essence. This separation led to the creation of the malevolent entity known as King Piccolo.

In the film ''Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone'' and during the [[Garlic Jr.|Garlic Jr]]. Saga of ''Dragon Ball Z'', it is revealed that the Nameless Namekian competed against [[Garlic]] for the role of Earth’s Guardian. The Nameless Namekian won the position after purging his evil half, as Garlic’s motivations were rooted in selfish ambition.

This division of his being had two significant consequences. First, the Nameless Namekian's power level took a significant hit. During the Frieza Saga, the Namekians suggest that, had the Nameless Namekian remained whole, he could have easily defeated [[Frieza]], whose power level ranged from 530,000 in his first form to 120,000,000 at full strength. However, after the split, Kami and King Piccolo’s power levels dropped to mere hundreds. Secondly, the two remained spiritually linked: if one died, so would the other.

King Piccolo ravaged Earth for several years until he was eventually sealed away by [[Master Mutaito]]. Hundreds of years later, [[Emperor Pilaf]] freed King Piccolo, only for him to be killed by a young [[Goku]]. However, before his death, King Piccolo created an egg containing his reincarnated form, Piccolo Jr. This action preserved Kami's life, as the two were still connected.

In ''Dragon Ball GT'', it is revealed that before the Nameless Namekian split into King Piccolo and Kami, he created a powerful set of Dragon Balls known as the Black Star Dragon Balls. Unlike the regular Dragon Balls, these possessed significantly greater power. However, after the Nameless Namekian separated into two beings, the Black Star Dragon Balls became inert, as their creator no longer existed as a single entity.

When Piccolo and Kami reunited during the events of ''Dragon Ball Z'', the Black Star Dragon Balls were reactivated. To prevent their misuse, they were hidden on The Lookout by Kami, as their use carried a catastrophic side effect—any wish made using the Black Star Dragon Balls would trigger the destruction of the planet from which the wish was made, unless the Dragon Balls were gathered and returned to their original location within a year. This immense risk to Earth played a central role in the plot of ''Dragon Ball GT''.
