GoChi

GoChi is the het ship between Son Goku and Chi-Chi from the Dragon Ball fandom.

Emperor Pilaf Saga
Goku and his party had arrived at the infamous Fire Mountain in their search for one of the legendary Dragon Balls. After learning that Goku knows Master Roshi, the mountain's ruler - Ox King - asks Goku to both get the legendary Bansho Fan from Roshi (to clear the flames from the mountain) and to find his daughter Chi-Chi - who he sent to get the fan the previous day. Goku agrees on the condition that if he does both, he get's Ox-King's Dragon Ball, a deal that the ruler not only agrees to, but also sweetens by also promising Chi-Chi's hand to him in marriage if she is brought back. Although Goku misunderstands what "marriage" means, he agrees and promptly sets off after learning what Chi-Chi looks like.

Goku eventually locates Chi-Chi from his vantage point on the Flying Nimbus, having been just left alone by the bandit Yamcha. Thanks to Yamcha's earlier fake flirting with her, Chi-Chi believed that Goku was coming by to express his love, a prospect that Goku is oblivious towards. Regardless, after Goku tells her that he father sent him to get her and the Bansho Fan, Chi-Chi climbs onto the Nimbus but accidentally weakens Goku by pulling on his tail when she nearly falls off. While flying to Roshi's house to get the fan, Goku begins touching Chi-Chi inappropriately to confirm she's a girl in his own way, which angers Chi-Chi to the point of pushing Goku right off the Nimbus, in turn causing her to crash. When they recover and Chi-Chi's anger settles, though, she starts feeling affection towards Goku.

The two eventually arrive at Roshi's island, only to discover from him that he threw the Bansho Fan out. Instead, the old master agrees to go with Goku and Chi-Chi to personally deal with the fires of Fire Mountain. Upon arrival, Roshi manages to blow away the fires (and the castle) with his Kamehameha technique, allowing Goku and company to get the Dragon Ball. As the group prepare to leave, Chi-Chi asks Goku about her becoming his bride when they're older. Though Goku is still oblivious to what that means, he agrees to return if she really wants to as he and the group leave to find the final Dragon Ball.

At some point, Goku did return to Chi-Chi and went on a date with her. However, Goku was unaware of what to do on a date, prompting Chi-Chi to have him think of the most enjoyable thing he can think of. Due to his Saiyan nature, Goku's answer defaulted to fighting, resulting in a sparring match between him and Chi-Chi, something that they both had fun doing. The two would separate again after the date, with Goku going on to train with Roshi while Chi-Chi returned to the rebuilt Fire Mountain.

Red Ribbon Army Saga
At her home, Chi-Chi became increasingly lonely since it had been a while after meeting Goku. Seeing his daughter's longing to see her future husband, Ox-King decides to bring Chi-Chi to the town's psychic so that she can locate Goku. The divination revealed that Goku was on his way to the village, which Chi-Chi takes as a sign that it's finally time to marry him. Seeing his daughter wants to finally do it, Ox-King begins organizing the wedding, with the village decorating and the ruler himself taking down a large pterodactyl for the feast. Meanwhile, Chi-Chi went to a nearby field to get some flowers for Goku.

Goku, currently hunting for the 4-star Dragon Ball, accidentally finds Chi-Chi during her flower-picking while he was taking a break. Chi-Chi is pleased that Goku was there and offers the flowers she had already picked to him. When told about the wedding, Goku shows his continued ignorance on what marriage is, though accidentally offers a romantic gesture by sharing some apples he picked with her. Their time together is interrupted when they see smoke from the direction of the village. Hopping aboard the Flying Nimbus Goku and Chi-Chi race back to the village, nearly crashing into Emperor Pilaf's flying fortress along the way and causing Chi-Chi to nearly fall off had Goku not stopped her fall.

The two eventually make it to the village, only to discover it under attack by a new enemy - the Red Ribbon Army - who were after the Dragon Ball within the same pterodactyl Ox-King shot down for the feast. The two proceeded to battle their way through their forces, eventually forcing the army to retreat and also saving Ox-King. While resting, the two learn that people claiming to be Goku and his friends - in reality Pilaf and his henchman - arrived at the village for some unknown reason and Goku surmises that they were after a Dragon Ball that somehow ended up in the village. As Goku checks his Dragon Radar, however, he discovers it's on the move again, forcing him to leave quickly while Chi-Chi flutily reminds him about the wedding. Goku promises to come back and "eat it" later before taking off, finally making Chi-Chi realize that he thought "wedding" was a kind of food. Ox-King then comforts her, saying to just wait until he gets the Dragon Ball back.

Piccolo Jr. Saga
3 years after their last meeting, Chi-Chi - fed up with waiting for Goku's return - decides to go to him by entering the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, hiding her identity by entering as an anonymous individual. Upon finding Goku, she attempted to greet him, only to discover he doesn't remember her at all. This angers Chi-Chi as she storms off, leaving Goku and his current circle of friends confused before the preliminaries begin. The two proceed through the preliminaries and eventually make it to the quarterfinals, finding themselves facing each other.

As their fight begins, Goku notes how Chi-Chi always seems to be mad, which she angrily claims is thanks to him before proceeding to try and hit Goku. As their fighting intensifies, Chi-Chi tries to remind Goku about her only for him to continue forgetting about all of it, until she reveals his promise to make her his wife. Although he still doesn't remember her, Goku now wants to know Chi-Chi's name, which she will only do if he wins the match. Goku then proceeds to use his kiai to push Chi-Chi out of the arena, winning him the match. Honoring her agreement, Chi-Chi reveals her name, shocking everyone in the arena, but Goku most of all as he finally remembers his promise. While he initially thought everything about "weddings" was food-related, he agrees to be Chi-Chi's husband nonetheless, to the joy of the spectators as they walk backstage arm-in-arm.

Fanon
Goku and Chichi remain a popular pairing among Dragon Ball fans due to their odd relationship providing amusing moments between the two. The fact that they are canon has helped the pair garner support as well. Their rival ship is GoBul.

There are many fans who do not like Goku and Chichi, as the pair got together very early on before the fans had a chance to explore their relationship. On top of this, their relationship is generally believed to be poor, due to Goku rarely being around, and Chichi excessively nagging him all the time. Chichi has also been criticised for, occasionally, not showing to care for Goku's well-being.
