Akira Toriyama Series
April 5, 1955 – March 1, 2024
Akira Toriyama, a renowned Japanese manga artist, gained widespread acclaim primarily for his creation of the Dragon Ball saga in 1984. His artistic sensibilities were shaped by influences such as Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy and the visual artistry of Walt Disney's One Hundred and One Dalmatians. The dynamic storytelling and humor in Toriyama's works also bear the distinct mark of early Jackie Chan films.
