Trunks (Japanese: トランクス, Hepburn: Torankusu^?) is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. He makes his debut in chapter #331 The Young Boy of Mystery (謎の少年, Nazo no Shōnen^?), first published in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on July 15, 1991, as an unknown young man who has traveled back in time to warn of a deadly enemy. Trunks is later revealed to be the half-Saiyan half-Human son of Vegeta and Bulma.

Trunks' most prominent physical features come from his maternal side, as he inherits Bulma's blue eyes and lavender-colored hair which is mostly shown in the undercut style. As he is not full-blooded Saiyan, his hair grows and is worn in an over-the-shoulders style for a period. He inherits his skin tone and facial features from his father, with Bulma, Kuririn, and Goku pointing out Trunks' resemblance to Vegeta on several occasions. Trunks can transform into a Super Saiyan which causes his hair to spike on end and takes on a golden color and his eyes a certain turquoise or green color.

When the character is first introduced he wears a steel blue cropped jacket with a Capsule Corporation, his grandfather's company, patch on its upper left sleeve, over a black tank top and dark gray baggy pants and wears yellow tanker boots. During the Cell Games he wears Saiyan battle armor identical to his father's that was made by his mother. The present incarnation wears a dark green gi with matching orange belt and wrist bands and wears the same yellow tanker boots. Trunks' first depicted form has been referred to as "Future Trunks" (未来のトランクス, Mirai no Torankusu^?, "Trunks of the Future") in media in order to distinguish it from the character's present-timeline incarnation, where he is a child. However, in Dragon Ball Super, Future Trunks' design was different from his appearance in the manga, wearing an outfit similar to when he traveled to the past, which is a periwinkle colored jacket with the Capsule Corporation logo on the left sleeve (albeit without the logo's name), a red scarf, black baggy pants, and olive green boots, the jacket and pants appear to have two small rips on the left ends, his hair is now blue, like his mother's and is now messier, and lacks the two thin bangs he initially appeared in, to distinguish him from his present-timeline counterpart, and he also gains a new sword.
