Dragon Ball held a special place in my heart during my childhood, making it my favorite anime series. I vividly recall rushing home from school to immerse myself in its captivating world. This anime not only fueled my imagination but also inspired me to draw influenced by its dynamic storytelling and entertaining world.

The recent news of the passing of Akira Toriyama, the brilliant Japanese manga artist and creator of the iconic Dragon Ball franchise, deeply saddened me. Toriyama, aged 68, left an indelible mark on the world of manga and entertainment.

The confirmation of Toriyama’s death on March 1 due to acute subdural hematoma came from his manga and design production studio, Bird Studio, and Capsule Corporation Tokyo. A select few attended his funeral, underscoring the private nature of the event.

In a statement, Bird Studio expressed gratitude for the widespread support Toriyama received throughout his over 45-year-long career. The studio highlighted his vast contribution to the world of manga and art, expressing the hope that Toriyama’s unique creative legacy would endure and continue to be cherished by fans worldwide.

Toriyama’s artistic journey began in Nagoya, Japan, where he was born on April 5, 1955. His early foray into drawing led him to the manga industry in his early 20s, gaining recognition with the success of Dr. Slump in the 1980s.

In 1984, Toriyama unleashed Dragon Ball, a manga series that achieved legendary status. Inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West and martial arts films, Dragon Ball chronicled the adventures of Son Goku, a martial arts trainee in pursuit of seven dragon balls. The manga, serialized in 519 chapters from 1984 to 1995, sold over 150 million copies in Japan by 2008.

Toriyama’s creation transcended manga to become a multimedia juggernaut, with over 20 films, animated series, spin-offs, and numerous video games. The Dragon Ball franchise stands as one of the highest-grossing and most influential in pop culture.

The 1990s saw Toriyama’s global popularity soar, thanks to the international acclaim received by Dragon Ball and its sequel, Dragon Ball Z. The series, especially its beloved protagonist Goku, became a cultural phenomenon referenced by artists, athletes, and celebrities worldwide.

Toriyama served as a character designer for renowned video games like the Dragon Quest series, Chrono Trigger, and Blue Dragon. At the time of his passing, Bird Studio noted that Toriyama was actively engaged in several creative projects, showcasing his enduring passion for his craft.

As we mourn the loss of a visionary creator, we can take solace in the rich legacy Akira Toriyama leaves behind, a testament to his artistic brilliance and profound impact on the world of entertainment.
