Master Roshi's first appearance is in chapter #3 of the ''Dragon Ball'' manga. Roshi lives with his longtime companion, an anthropomorphic turtle referred to as Umigame (ウミガメ, "Sea Turtle"), on an island with a house built on it known as "Kame House". Kame House eventually serves as a gathering place for Goku and his associates throughout the series, as well as a home for certain recurring characters like [[List of Dragon Ball characters#Oolong|Oolong]] or Krillin and his young family. Graduates of Roshi's training (i.e. Goku, [[Krillin]], [[Yamcha]]) often wear the [[kanji]] for "Turtle" ("Kame") [[wiktionary:亀|亀]] on their ''[[Keikogi|dogi]]''. When wishing to fight anonymously at the World Martial Arts Tournament, Roshi assumes a disguise and calls himself "Jackie Chun".

Master Roshi is consistently depicted as a pervert who frequently flirts with or harasses physically attractive female characters. In Chapter 5 of the [[Dragon Ball (manga)|''Dragon Ball'' manga series]], published in ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]'' on January 15, 1985, Roshi makes sexual advances on "Bulma" who is wearing a suggestive bunny costume; it is in fact an impersonation by a shapeshifting Oolong, who seduces Roshi by inviting him to place his face between his "breasts" and calls the act "Puff Puff".<ref>{{cite journal |title=Ūron Arawaru!! |script-title=ja:ウーロンあらわる!! |trans-title=Oolong Appears!! |journal=[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]] |language=ja |publisher=[[Shueisha]] |issue=4/5 |date=1985-01-15}}</ref> The term is derived from the Japanese [[onomatopoeia]] for a woman rubbing her breasts in another person's face, though it can also be used to refer to a woman juggling her own breasts.<ref name="Kalata">{{cite web|url=https://www.gamedeveloper.com/game-platforms/the-history-of-dragon-quest|title=The History of Dragon Quest|first=Kurt|last=Kalata|publisher=[[Gamasutra]]|access-date=2015-11-27}}</ref>

When tasked with putting out a fire on Mount Frypan, Master Roshi demonstrated an ability to greatly increase his energy. In this state, his appearance changes dramatically, with an enormous increase in muscle mass and likewise height which was nearly equal to Piccolo. Due to his natural precision in battle, this bulky state does not appear to affect his speed and agility. In this state, he can perform many ki attacks at their maximum potential, most noticeably an enhanced version of his ''Kamehameha'' attack, which was so powerful that it was able to destroy the moon.

At the beginning of the ''Dragon Ball'' series, he is considered to be the strongest mortal fighter in the ''Dragon Ball'' [[Fictional universe|universe]], however his power level began to pale in comparison to Goku and his allies later in the series. While his legacy is demonstrated in the prolific use of the ''Kamehameha'' technique by numerous characters in the series, his prominence has diminished greatly by the time Goku reaches adulthood. He would only make occasional appearances as a supporting character and no longer operate as an active fighter.

===''Dragon Ball Super''===
Master Roshi would return to prominence as a major character with the revival of the ''Dragon Ball'' series in the 2010s. In the film [[Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F']] and [[List of Dragon Ball Super episodes#Season 2: Golden Frieza Saga (2015–16)|its counterpart story arc]] in ''[[Dragon Ball Super]]'', Master Roshi would join Goku and his friends in their fight against a resurrected Frieza leading his army to Earth and exact vengeance against Goku. It is also implied on one episode that the Paradise Herb is the source of Master Roshi's long lifespan, as he claims that eating some of it would allow him to live on for another millennia.

In the Universe Survival arc of the ''Dragon Ball Super'' manga, Roshi is revealed to have been secretly training and holding back his true strength, and he is later recruited as one of the representatives of the Seventh Universe by Goku, not for his strength, but for his knowledge in fighting in tournaments. But as his perverted behavior got him caught in a mind control spell by a Crane School student named Yurin, Roshi enlists Puar to build up a resistance to beautiful women. Master Roshi manages to eliminate competitors from other universes during the tournament and is one of the last 6 remaining members of universe 7 in the tournament. Roshi later instructs Goku as he struggles fighting against Jiren, telling him that plain old fighting strength is not a way to measure things, that they master the martial arts not to win fights but to conquer their own selves. Jiren begins to attack Roshi, but the old master is able to avoid all attacks as he focuses on controlling his body. Ultimately, Jiren is able to eliminate Roshi after chopping at his neck, but his sacrifice is not in vain as Goku uses Roshi's teaching to unlock the new form, "Ultra Instinct", as Roshi watches from the sidelines.

In the anime he is forced to eliminate himself when an altercation with the Sixth Universe warrior Frost nearly kills him from excessive use of the ''Mafuba'' technique.
