Dragon Ball Kami is God?
When I look back on DB while I was a child, I always thought that Kami was the actual name of the namekian who was guarding the Earth. Sometime during my early teens I looked up the word and found out it meant "God" in Japanese, then his whole role made a lot more sense to me. throughout this entire series (anime) not once did they actually say that Kami is the God of Earth, at the age I was I had disregarded the title "Guardian of Earth" and sorta figured he was an old namekian warrior who defended Earth at a time.
I always wondered why would the series uncut or otherwise never refer to Kami as God?
I know he doesn't play a significant role for very long, but it would be nice to actually know up front how important he is besides being connected to piccolo's life force.
What was you're view on Kami before or if you hadn't learned what his name means?

Actually, 'Guardian' is a much better designation. But yeah, his full name is 'Kami-Sama' which is also the Japanese term used for the Judaeo-Christian God.
But he very clearly is nothing like that character.
It's interesting: Piccolo Daimao is in fact the Devil, because Dai-Ma-O means 'great demon king'. The Devil is God's evil side! Again inconsistent with the Biblical god, because he is his own evil side.
