Akira Toriyama is the man behind Dragon Ball. He started
DragonBall in 1984, and since then has made 42 novels.
DragonBall ended in 1995, but that's not all that he has
done. He also has another manga called Dr. Slump, which
he made about 100 novels. He also has does character desings
for some games such as:

         • All the Dragon Quest games (also known as Dragon Warior) (SNES)
         • Toraneko's Great Adventure (SNES) 
         • Chrono Trigger (SNES)
         • Tobal #1 and #2 (PSX)


Because of the sucsess of DragonBall, Bird Studios continued 

the series with DragonBall GT. Akira works as a "artistic 

 consultant" but is not part of writhing the story.



After 2 and a half years after DragonBall ended, he started 

to do some one shot mangas such as Cowa (1997) and 
Kajika (1998), but nothing big.



Toriyama has also done some small comic strips for Jump 

Magazine, and has made a couple of other one shot mangas,

but has not started another big projact, he says that he taking a 
vacation from his manga artist proffession.


"Too much fantasy loses reality, too much hope may seem somehow empty"-Akira Toriyama
