Kūriza (or Kreeza) is a fictional character from the manga Neko Majin Z, a parody of Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama. Although the manga is written by Akira Toriyama and features characters from Dragon Ball, it is not considered canon to series, however, Kuriza has appeared in his first form in the Japanese edition of the PlayStation 2 video game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 as an unlockable alternate costume for Freeza. Kuriza's name is a pun on both his father's name, Freeza (Fūriza in Romaji), and Kūri, the Japanese word for "chestnut".
Kuriza is the son of Freeza from Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z. (And, by extension, the grandson of King Cold, and the nephew of Coola.) He shows up on Earth to cause some trouble, is met by Z (the title character), and hilarity ensues.
Unlike his father he isn't especially evil, and has a fit when the manga runs out of pages before he has a chance to show off. Kurīza later cheers on Vegeta (who still worked for Freeza during this alternate storyline) when he arrives to take on Neko Majin, but is shocked when the Saiyan Prince unexpectedly leaves, claiming he just received an emergency message on his cell phone.
Kuriza was able to change into a "final" form akin to his father's immediately after his first stage. Like Kuririn, the pun on his name is derived from kuri, or chestnut. This breaks the tradition of Freeza's family members' names being taken from terms for "cold", although an element of the play on the word "Freezer" is still in the name.
