Majin Buu (Japanese: 魔人ブウ, Hepburn: Majin Bū), generally spelled Majin Boo in subtitles of the Japanese anime, and rendered as Djinn-Boo in the Viz Media manga, is a fictional character and antagonist in the Dragon Ball series by Akira Toriyama. He made his debut appearance in chapter #460 "Majin Buu Appears?!", first published in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on March 1, 1994. Majin Buu has had multiple origins throughout the series. In Dragon Ball Z, he is explained as being a creation of the evil warlock Bibidi, who is unleashed by his son, Babidi, onto Earth. Alternatively, in a later interview, Dragon Ball's author Akira Toriyama states that Buu had existed outside of Bibidi and that Bibidi simply knew how to summon him. Recently, Dragon Ball Daima reveals that Buu was created by the Demon World witch Marba when she was commissioned by Bibidi.

Majin Buu was sealed away by Bibidi and brought to Earth; however, while Buu was sealed away, Bibidi was killed, and Buu remained sealed away and dormant. During the events of Dragon Ball, he is revived by Bibidi's son Babidi to continue his father's plan to conquer the entire universe.
