His name is Raditz. And one thing game is bad at telling you is that you can buy and use healing items during fights to help you. You just need to assign them to shortcuts beforehand.

Eat more food, this will increase your stats permanently, spending even a small amount of gameplay time, once a sessions or so, gathering / cooking food will make your characters super over powered. Stat gains from food are shared across all chars, unlocked or locked. So its best to start eating food right away. Burning tofu is one of the best/easiest foods to make early game.

After that, with enough food, you can fly through enemies in the open world instantly killing them, without a combat phase, this makes for super easy orb/exp farming.

with occasional food grinding sessions the game is ridiculously easy even on hard mode.
