Only because Goku sought him out. Being

Only because Goku sought him out. Being \"Guardian of the Northern Quadrant\" amounts to absolutely nothing and never comes up for any purpose beyond comparing students with the other Kaios. Goku has all of the agency in their relationship. Goku acts, Kaio follows. Goku asks, Kaio answers. Goku requests, Kaio acquiesces. Goku \'\'kills\'\' Kaio-sama and he still sticks around for the next seven years helping Goku train in the afterlife.
The only time Kaio-sama ever acts on his own initiative is when enacting the plan to get everyone off of Namek. Even then, it\'s implied that he\'s doing it because of Goku\'s HonorBeforeReason decision to let Frieza finish powering up - which Kaio-sama was actively lamenting when the idea suddenly hit him. It\'s an attempt to get Goku out of what he\'s been saying for the entire arc is an unwinnable battle and it still winds up overruled by Goku\'s refusal to leave with everyone else on Namek. Between Kaio-sama and Goku, Goku holds all the cards.
Now, all this discussion has got me thinking about God and I can agree to him being considered BigGood of the Saiyan arc. He brought the humans to his Lookout to train, he sent Goku to Kaio-sama\'s, and he monitored Piccolo\'s training of Gohan. Nearly every part of the resistance against the Saiyans was made possible by God\'s agency.
