Raditz is a Saiyan who initially comes to Earth to check on the progress of his younger brother, Kakarrot ( Goku). After discovering that rather than wiping out the inhabitants of Earth, Goku has been aiding them, Raditz decides to kidnap Goku's son, Gohan, to try to force Goku to join him and destroy the earthlings as he was originally supposed to do. This action leads to the demise of both Goku and Raditz as Piccolo fires his new Special Beam Cannon attack at Raditz while Goku is restraining him from behind, Goku sacrificed himself in order to rid the world of his evil brother. Before he died he used his scouter to send a messege to his fellow Saiyans Nappa and Vegeta to inform him of the magical Dragon Balls on Planet Earth which could grant wishes.
