Toriyama Akira was born in Aichi on April 5th, 1955. Recognized as the chief representative of Japanese comics, he is called the most influential figure in Japanese comics after the late cartoonist Osamu Tezuka ("God of Japanese comics"). His famous works Dr.Slump and his representative work Dragon Ball are very popular and widely praised all over the world. By July, 1995, Dr. Slump sold 28,11, copies, and Dragon Ball created a sales record of 19,3, copies. And since childhood, Toriyama Akira loved painting the robots in Astro Boy until he painted his exercise book black. According to himself, he became a cartoonist in the future thanks to graffiti imitation at that time. His favorite cartoonists are Mr. Osamu Tezuka and Disney in the United States. In 1974, after graduating from high school, Toriyama Akira joined an advertising design company. Because he was often late, at last, the boss couldn't bear it and fired him. In 1978, the work "Roaming on the Island" by Mr. Toriyama was published in "Juvenile Jumping". This is the first time he has made his mark.
After that, as Ala Lei and Dragon Ball began to be serialized in Juvenile Jumping, Toriyama Akira became more and more famous and eventually became one of the most famous Japanese cartoonists. Teacher Toriyama's painting style is very cartoon. Dragon Ball, as the representative work of Mr. Toriyama, has strong personal characteristics, and the fighting scenes in Dragon Ball are really wonderful, the movements are natural and unrestrained, and various moves emerge one after another, which is a classic of martial arts comics. The sensational effect of "Dragon Ball" made Taiwan Province, China make a live-action version of "Dragon Ball", and the peripheral products and games derived from it were the favorite of teenagers in that era. The super popularity of Dragon Ball during the serial period is a miracle in Japan where comics are highly developed. Ala Lei, a comic series that began in 1979, is also a well-known masterpiece in Japan. Dr. Genius rolled up a series of funny stories about Qianbingwei and his robot doll Alalei, making Penguin Village the most famous village in Japan. In 1981, Ala Lei was made into a TV animation and released all over Japan, which made Ala Lei's dialogue with many Kansai dialects become a buzzword in Japanese streets, and even called "Ala Lei Year" one year.
Toriyama Akira is not only a cartoonist, but also his works have introduced many people into the long life of cartoon or animation. Now Eiichiro Oda, the author of The Pirate King, a popular serial in Juvenile Jumping, openly admits that he is a big fan of Mr. Toriyama. Toriyama Akira is an imaginative and eclectic cartoonist, which is why his works are so popular. Today, many years later, Fans still remember Mr. Toriyama, hoping that Mr. Toriyama's new work can be launched as soon as possible.
Toriyama Akira's self-report
Before I became a cartoonist, I worked in an advertising company in Nagoya to design advertising pictures for three years. Isn't that amazing? I have been late almost every day for three years. I estimated that my boss was going to fire me, so I offered my resignation. My favorite cartoonists are Mr. Osamu Tezuka and Disney in the United States. When I was a child, I especially loved painting the robots in Astro Boy until I painted my exercise book black. I think: I can become a cartoonist today thanks to the imitation at that time. People who want to be cartoonists must first start with imitation. For me, cartoonists are the stars. Whenever I meet a famous cartoonist at the party, I immediately ask him to sign it for me as a souvenir. I have saved more than 3 pages of such signatures. Do you remember an empty bean Misuke who loves to collect signatures in Alalei? Actually, that's my shadow. Toriyama Akira is my real name, and there are only three people in Aichi with this strange name. After I became famous, I kept getting harassing calls, which really gave me a headache. So, I remembered a pen name called "The Second Stage of Paddy Field Work". However, the editor said the name was too "boring" and had to give it up. I hate being on TV. As soon as the camera like a cannon was pointed at me, I trembled and couldn't say anything. Besides, the thought of millions of people looking at themselves in front of the camera makes me pee my pants. Therefore, I always find various reasons to refuse to appear on TV. On one occasion, I was invited to the "Chezi Room" program group, and I saw the famous Tetsuko Kuroyanagi coming towards me, which I could only see on TV before, and chatted with me. I was so nervous that I flushed and trembled all over that I didn't even know what I had said. As a result, the interview program ended before I woke up. Speaking of TV programs, I only like to watch "Animal World".

Toriyama Akira's latest work [EvenLife- Ordinary Life ]
Toriyama Akira's new work SANDLAND has been serialized in the 23rd issue of Weekly Youth Jump published last week. The story tells that in the future, the whole world will become a desert, and the only water source will be manipulated by traitors, so a group of people start a journey to find water.
The story is very similar to the movie "Future Water World", but what's more special is that the main characters in the search for water are a group of monsters, and they can summon magic! I hope Toriyama Akira can draw a long story this time, and it won't end in a few issues!
He also published the short story "Rogue Cat Z3" in the monthly Youth JUMP. This comrade is really speechless, and the scene of Vegeta's arrival on the earth is used as a spoof.
