So you have understood, Akira Toriyama has not only worked in the anime and manga industry; His work knows no barriers and extends much further. Some time ago he participated in Project Blue Dragon, a game that appeared on the defunct Xbox 360, using his art and talent to bring these characters to life.
Thank you, Professor Toriyama, for all the joys you have given us!
