Karin Tower

Karin-tō Tower (カリン塔 タワー, Karin-tō Tawā; FUNimation "Korin Tower") is a tower where Karin lives. It is located in the Sacred Land of Karin and is so tall that it takes Son Goku an entire three days to reach the top the first time he climbs it.

The name Karin-tō (カリン塔) is a pun on a type of fried dough cake called karintō (花林糖).

History

The top of Karin Tower

The base of Karin Tower with Upa's and Bora's teepee.

Karin Tower was built to honor a great hero (it is neither stated who the hero was nor if was Karin himself, but in anime filler it was implied that this hero could have been Olibu). The "owner", Karin, grew Senzu in Karin Tower which he gave to the Z Warriors freely (that is, when he had some in stock).

At the top of Karin Tower was a hole that fit Goku's Power Pole, which served as the link between Karin Tower and the Heavenly Realm. It should be pointed out that it was made of a quite durable material and that the structure itself was hard to destroy.

Bora and the rest of his tribe were located at the base of the tower as guardians as seen in Dragon Ball.
