Akira...Akira Toriyama


I would say, people who doesn't know any of the characters in the image have no childhood, like not at all. More than 10 years I would say, this program was air on Malaysia national tv, I could not remember the exact time but it was evening, after dinner time and I would say many kids will patiently wait in front of the television screen and feeling excited about what is gonna happen next to the monkey boy...Son Goku, in DRAGON BALL.


All these characters are familiar to many of us, we recall their background, whom they trained with, where are they from, what are they great at and some even changed our point of view at things. This all thanks to one person, the creator, Akira Toriyama.


Mr Toriyama,the creator of Dragon Ball (1984), also Dr Slump (1980) is recognized as a manga-world changing comic artist, selling over 230 million copies of Dragon Ball world wide, he is definitely a guy worth every salute. And he who just celebrate his 58th birthday yesterday, I would represent many thanking him to make our childhood special.
