A Series of Anime and Games by the Late Akira Toriyama, Creator of DRAGON BALL, the Most Popular and Legendary

The manga titled DR.SLUMP is the first serialized manga by Akira Toriyama. It was published earlier than Dragon Ball, from 1980-1984 in Weekly Shonen Jump. It tells the story of a humorous inventor named Senbei Norimari and his robot girl creation named Arale.

COWA! is one of the short works (one shot) by Akira Toriyama with 14 chapters and compiled in 1 tankobon. It tells the story of two monster children and a human as they embark on a journey to find a cure for a deadly flu virus.

Akira Toriyama's popularity lies in the manga anime DRAGON BALL. This anime was popular in the 80s and brought together martial arts manga with a clever world inhabited by alien characters.

This manga series is different from the others, JACO THE GALACTIC PATROLMAN is an 11-chapter series that first appeared in 2013 in Weekly Shonen Jump. Jaco is actually a prequel to Dragon Ball! This character has appeared in the Dragon Ball media for the past few years.

DRAGON QUEST is the most famous video game in Japan. This game emerged in the same year as the release of the Dragon Ball anime adaptation on Japanese TV. The combination of Toriyama's art and a very good narrative approach makes this video game the most successful in Japan.

The manga SAND LAND is also similar to the COWA! series, a one shot with 14 chapters collected in 1 tankobon. This manga was released in 2000 and takes place in a post-apocalyptic desert world known as Sand Land. It tells the story of Rao, a detective who searches for fresh water supplies with the help of two demons.

This JRPG game is called BLUE DRAGON, similar but not the same as Chrono Trigger. However, its release did not have the same boom as the previous two games. This is because the game was launched on the American-made Xbox 360 compared to the Japanese PS3. Nevertheless, Toriyama's artwork remains iconic in this game.

Adaptation of the Dragon Ball fighting game is endless. DRAGON BALL FIGHTERZ was released in 2018 and greatly exceeded fans' expectations. They can play as Son Goku in this game and it has been a huge success.

CHRONO TRIGGER is one of the best games in its genre for over two decades since its release. Directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi and featuring art by Toriyama, this game has been successful and popular until now.

DRAGON BALL Z is a continuation of the previous manga version. Different from the previous version by 5 years, we can find Goku who has grown up and has a child. This manga is adapted from the last 325 episodes of the original manga, DRAGON BALL, and changes its name to DRAGON BALL Z.
