Kale originated as a concept inspired by Broly, a menacing and immensely powerful Saiyan villain from the Dragon Ball animated film series Toei Animation production staff decided to make the character female as an interesting variant on the original. Neither Caulifla nor Kale were part of Akira Toriyama's initial rough draft for Dragon Ball Super. Bennett and Elizabeth Maxwell in the English dub respectively.īoth individual characters as well as Kefla have received a positive reception, leading to appearances in other franchise media like the promotional web series Super Dragon Ball Heroes, as well as various licensed Dragon Ball video games. Caulifla and Kale are voiced by Yuka Komatsu and Yukana in the Japanese Dub, and by Dawn M. During the Universal Survival Saga storyline, both characters utilize a matching pair of magical earrings known as Potara (ポタラ) which allow them to merge into a single being known as Kefla (ケフラ Kefura), whose resulting power rivals that of series protagonist Son Goku. Members of the extraterrestrial humanoid species known as the Saiyans (サイヤ人, Saiya-jin), Caulifla and Kale are the first female characters in the series outside of videogames to have attained Super Saiyan forms.
Created as part of a collaborative effort between franchise creator Akira Toriyama and Toei Animation, the characters first appeared in the Universal Saga arc of Dragon Ball Super as antagonistic characters from an alternate universe to the setting of the Dragon Ball series: Kale was originally conceived as a derivative character of popular Dragon Ball villain Broly by Toei Animation staff, and Caulifla was personally designed by Toriyama as a companion and counterpoint to Kale.
