Akira Toriyama
1,890 books1,728 followersAkira Toriyama (鳥山明) was a Japanese manga artist and character designer. He first achieved mainstream recognition for creating the popular manga series Dr. Slump, before going on to create Dragon Ball (his most famous work) and acting as a character designer for several popular video games such as the Dragon Quest series, Chrono Trigger, and Blue Dragon. Toriyama came to be regarded as one of the most important authors in the history of manga with his works highly influential and popular, particularly Dragon Ball, which many manga artists cite as a source of inspiration.
He earned the 1981 Shogakukan Manga Award for best shōnen/shōjo manga with Dr. Slump, and it went on to sell over 35 million copies in Japan. It was adapted into a successful anime series, with a second anime created in 1997, 13 years after the manga ended.
His next series, Dragon Ball, would become one of the most popular and successful manga in the world. Having sold 260 million copies worldwide, it is one of the best-selling manga series of all time and is considered a key work in increasing manga circulation to its peak in the mid-1980s and mid-1990s.

In 2019, Toriyama was decorated a Chevalier of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contributions to the arts.

Cambio de paradigma tras un salto temporal, se expanden las fronteras de este mundo hacia el espacio con la llegada de los extraterrestres y la confirmación de otros. Estoy diciendo muchas tonterías porque entiendo que todo el mundo sabe de qué va, desde la presentación de Gohan hasta el retorno de Goku a la tierra.

Empieza el cambio de tono del manga. Si bien la amenaza de Piccolo en los arcos anteriores ya endurecía la narrativa, los saiyans introducen un elemento más peligroso en el mundo de Dragon Ball, especialmente cuando ocurre lo impensable durante la batalla contra Raditz, y posteriormente cuando los guerreros Z se deben enfrentar al monstruo que es Nappa.
