By the time he reprised the voice in Dragon Ball Super, Piccolo had become Furukawa's favorite character of all his roles. Furukawa also cited Piccolo making a pun for Kaiō-sama as memorable because it was so out of character for him. He said the fans really enjoyed those episodes as well. Furukawa, as well as Gohan's voice actress Masako Nozawa, said the episodes where Piccolo trains Gohan left an impression on them. When asked if Takeshi Aono's work as Piccolo Daimaō influenced his portrayal of Piccolo, Furukawa replied that because Piccolo Daimaō was impulsive, he initially played his own role as an energetic person around eighteen-years-old and later imagined him as close to thirty-years old in Dragon Ball Z. He said it was difficult to constantly perform with a low voice because his normal lighter voice would break through if he broke concentration. Furukawa, who up to that point had mostly played happy lighter-voiced characters, said he got the role because he stated in interviews at the time that he wanted to play a villain. In the original Japanese version of the anime and all other media, Piccolo is voiced by Toshio Furukawa, with the only exception being his initial newborn child form which was voiced by Hiromi Tsuru. Toshio Furukawa has been adult Piccolo's Japanese voice actor in every single piece of Dragon Ball media. But afterwards he did try to make it consistent, such as drawing the Namekian architecture similar to the throne Piccolo Daimaō had. Toriyama stated that he never thought of making Piccolo an alien until Kami was introduced.

Piccolo is initially assumed to, like his parent, be a member of the Demon Clan ( 魔族, Mazoku), however, midway through the series it is learned that they are actually members of the alien race called Namekians ( ナメック星人, Namekku-seijin). Although Piccolo's transformation from a villain to a hero was considered by Toriyama to be cliché, he still felt excited when drawing him, noting that despite having a scary face, he still looks appealing. After creating Piccolo Daimaō, Toriyama noted that it was one of the most interesting parts of the series and that he became one of his favorite characters. However, the Shenlong Times issue #2, a bonus pamphlet given to some buyers of the Daizenshuu 2: Story Guide guidebook, says that the character was modeled after Torishima himself. Piccolo Daimaō was created after he told the author how Roman Emperor Nero enjoyed watching people suffer. His editor, Kazuhiko Torishima, stated he introduced Toriyama to evil historical figures for inspiration. Piccolo, more specifically his parent Piccolo Daimaō, was created by Toriyama as he wanted to have a villain who would be a true "bad guy." Prior to his creation, nearly all the previous villains in the series were considered too likable. The character has also inspired Naruto manga author Masashi Kishimoto, as well as an internet meme which became popular in Japan in 2013.
The character has been consistently well received by fans and video game publications, with high placements in multiple "top" character lists and popularity polls. Piccolo is one of the most popular and recognizable characters of the Dragon Ball franchise. He also trains Goku's eldest child Gohan in martial arts, with the two forming a strong bond. After losing to Son Goku, Piccolo decides to team up with him and his friends in order to defeat newer, more dangerous threats, such as Vegeta, Frieza, Cell, Majin Buu, Beerus, Zamasu, Jiren, Broly, and Moro. However, it is later revealed that he is in fact a member of an extraterrestrial humanoid species called Namekians, those able to create the series' eponymous wish-granting Dragon Balls. He is first seen in chapter #161 Son Goku Wins!! ( 孫悟空勝つ!!, Son Gokū Katsu!!), published in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on February 9, 1988, as the reincarnation of the evil Piccolo Daimaō, who was positioned as a demonic antagonist of the series. Piccolo ( Japanese: ピッコロ, Hepburn: Pikkoro) is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball media franchise created by Akira Toriyama.
