Akira Toriyama (Wikipedia)
He has been interested in the world of manga since childhood. As reported by BBC, Akira Toriyama has been known to enjoy drawing since elementary school. Moreover, he also loves Disney's works.
Initially, Akira Toriyama's love for drawing was merely for entertainment, considering that there was very little entertainment for children at that time.
However, who would have thought that from a mere entertainment, he started to try to become a professional mangaka and eventually became a successful and prominent figure. In fact, Akira Toriyama's work titled DRAGON BALL has become an inspiration for many mangaka today.

Akira Toriyama himself began his career as a professional mangaka in 1977. At that time, Akira Toriyama was looking for a job, and he saw the "Monthly Shonen Jump Award" contest being held by the largest manga publishing company in Japan called Shueisha.
However, just like most other successful legends, Akira Toriyama did not immediately get attention. He participated in the contest twice in a row, in 1977 and 1978, but none of Akira Toriyama's works passed.
His early works were titled Awawa World in 1977 and Mysterious Rain Jack in 1978. Despite the failure, Akira Toriyama received support from Kazuhiko Torishima, an editor of Weekly Shonen Jump Shueisha, to not give up and keep trying.

It turns out it didn't take long for Akira Toriyama to rise and become a professional mangaka. Yup! Several months later, Toriyama received a call back from Torishima to create his debut manga titled Wonder Island. However, in this first debut, Toriyama apparently failed to attract the attention of manga readers.

Because he didn't succeed in gaining many readers in his first work, Toriyama didn't give up and sent several new manga projects, but they were all rejected. This was enough to make Toriyama feel like giving up. Until, the work titled Girl Detective in 1979 gave him a little hope to not give up.
Anime Dr. Slump (credit: imdb.com)
Toriyama's career journey began in the early 1980s, where he successfully captivated readers with his work titled Dr. Slump in Weekly Shonen Jump. The success of this anime can be seen through the eighteen tankobon volumes of Dr. Slump.
Not stopping there, Akira Toriyama also created several successful short manga. The success of Dr. Slump manga also attracted the interest of Toei Animation production company to create an anime series.
Eventually, the manga Dr. Slump was adapted into two television anime adaptations. The first one is DR. SLUMP and ARALE-CHAN, which aired from 1981 to 1986 on Fuji TV and consisted of 243 episodes. And the remake series titled DR. SLUMP had 74 episodes from 1997 to 1999.

Of all Akira Toriyama's journeys as a professional mangaka, this time he entered the golden age and became a legend because of the manga and anime DRAGON BALL. It started in 1983, where after the success of Dr. Slump, Akira Toriyama still worked hard.
Eventually, he created two new manga titled Dragon Boy and The Adventures of Tongpoo. The success of the manga Dragon Boy motivated Toriyama to continue his work on Dragon Ball from 1984 to 1995.
For more than a decade, the success of DRAGON BALL led to Toei Animation creating three television anime series titled DRAGON BALL, DRAGON BALL Z, and DRAGON BALL GT, which also achieved great success and elevated his name.
In addition to the television series, there were also adaptations for feature-length animated films and video games specifically for DRAGON BALL, which are still enjoyed by anime and manga fans of all ages, spanning various eras worldwide up to the present.
That is the career journey of Akira Toriyama, who initially only saw drawing as mere entertainment until he created DRAGON BALL as a legendary work loved throughout the ages.
