Dirty Details Done Dirt Cheap:
Master Roshi (a phonetic adaptation that means, roughly, "Master Master") is a centuries-old martial arts master known for inventing the Kamehameha technique, an extremely powerful energy blast attack. His home, known as Kame House, is located on a secluded island, where he teaches his students. Master Roshi is often referred to as the "Turtle Hermit," due to the large turtle shell his students wear on their backs for weight training. He goes by several other aliases as well, one of the most popular being "Jackie Chun," an homage to a certain fellow martial artist. He is a former student of Master Mutaito, the martial artist who imprisoned the evil Piccolo.
