Bibidi is the evil alien wizard responsible for awakening Majin Buu millions of years before the events of Dragon Ball. He used the destructive monster to eliminate most of the Supreme Kais before being killed by Shin, the Eastern Supreme Kai.
Bibidi was an ancient sorcerer who sought universal domination. While initially said to have created Majin Buu, later revelations clarified that Buu had existed since time immemorial. Bibidi simply knew the means to awaken him from dormancy. In Dragon Ball Daima, it is further explained that a witch named Marba actually created Buu at Bibidi's request, as the wizard himself lacked the power to produce a Majin.
After unleashing Buu, Bibidi nearly died at the hands of his own weapon when Buu destroyed Planet Alpha. He managed to convince Buu that he was his "father" and proceeded to direct the creature against the Supreme Kais. Buu killed the West and North Supreme Kais and absorbed the South Supreme Kai. When Buu then absorbed the Grand Supreme Kai, the resulting innocent, childlike version proved more cooperative, swayed by promises of food.
Bibidi devised a magical sealing ball to contain Buu during transport and when the monster became disobedient. He sent the sealed Buu to Earth as his next target, but before he could arrive to release the creature, Shin tracked him down and killed him. Bibidi effectively lived on through Babidi, a doppelganger he had created to assist him. Their names, along with Buu's, reference the fairy tale magic words "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo."
No. Bibidi is the original ancient wizard who awakened Majin Buu, while Babidi is a doppelganger he created to assist him. Bibidi effectively lived on through Babidi after his own death.

Their names reference the fairy tale magic words "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo." The trio of evil wizards and the monster they control are named in sequence as a nod to that classic phrase.

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....

Dragon Ball handed us a protagonist with no history and the internet named him John Dragon Ball. So we built him somebody to talk to....
