Origin
A Namekian came to Earth due to a violent cataclysm on his home planet Namek. His name was long forgotten, only known as the Nameless Namek. When he came to Earth he knew he wanted to be the next Guardian of Earth, but the current guardian sensed evil inside of him. Kami had to split himself into to entities of the good and the bad. King Piccolo was the offspring of the split.
Kami became the Guardian of the Earth while King Piccolo wanted to rule it. In order to guard the Earth, Kami instinctively created his own Dragon Balls and the eternal dragon Shenron. The end of King Piccolo came when Goku killed him, but not before King Piccolo released an egg that hatched into Piccolo Jr., who while different, was still one being with Kami.
Major Story Arcs
When the Saiyans came to Earth, Raditz proved to be more than a match for both Goku and Piccolo. In order to defeat him, Goku sacrificed himself. When the stronger Saiyans Nappa and Vegeta arrived, Piccolo’s power still proved to not be enough. When Nappa attempted to kill Gohan, Piccolo sacrificed himself. Since they were the same being, Kami departed to the Other World as well.
While in Other World, Kami gave Chao-Zu his body back and sent the other Z-Fighters who died in the battle – Yamcha, Tien and Piccolo – to train with King Kai. When Piccolo was revived by the Namekian Dragon Balls, Kami returned to life as well.
During the Cell Saga, Piccolo has no other choice but to fuse with Kami to return to their original fused power level. They take Piccolo’s form since it is more youthful. He returns to his full power and becomes The Namek. Krillin joking around tries to find a new name for him so he says things like Kamiccollo. The Namek was not amused, but to save everyone from confusion he decided that they can still call him Piccolo.
Kami leaves the position of Earth’s Guardian to fellow Namekian Dende.
