Akira Toriyama is a name some of you may be familiar with. Some of you may have never heard of him. But I can just about guarantee you, you know of his work and the legacy he created. Akira Toriyama is the creator of the exceedingly popular Dragon Ball series of manga and Anime. His body of works is vast and his influence on the world can be felt in ripples throughout all of the media. On March 1st Toriyama unfortunately passed away due to subdural hematoma, a surprising occurrence as he was in good health and had a wide assortment of projects in the works. Mr. Toriyama’s leaves behind a massive legacy so today, in honor of one of the fathers of modern Anime, I want to talk about his work and the impact he had on pop culture in general.
Rest in peace Toriyama-Sensei.
