Kai(race)

In the Dragon Ball universe, there are five Kais for each galaxy. Four of them are given the job of controlling a particular quadrant of the galaxy each, and overseeing the local deities (Guardians) on each planet of their part of the galaxy. They are called the North Kai (this position is held by King Kai in the local Earth galaxy), the West Kai, the South Kai, and the East Kai. The fifth one is a Grand Kai who oversees them all and rules over the entire galaxy.

Above the Kais there are Supreme Kais who each rule over a quadrant of the entire universe, with a Grand Supreme Kai overseeing them and who rules over the entire universe.

The Kais live in the Other World. It should be noted that they are among the few living residents in Other World. They are considered immortal, in the sense that they refer to residents of the living world as "mortals," but can still die of unnatural causes (as King Kai does, when he is inadvertently killed by the self-destructing Cell), however since they are already in Other World it doesn't really affect them in the long run (however, King Kai did receive tons of laughter and bullying from his fellow Kais for being dead). The Kais are also known to have a love for fancy cars and each Kai owns one.

During the events in the series, Kais prove not to be strong enough to oppose the villains directly, though they seem to influence the process by giving wise advice or providing training. King Kai has amazingly powerful telepathy skills, being able to transfer his thoughts to the whole planets or even galaxies, and he also teaches Goku highly useful techniques such as the Spirit Bomb and the Kaio-ken attack.
