Famed manga creator Akira Toriyama has passed away on March 1, 2024 at age 68 due to acute subdural hematoma.

Toriyama began his first serialized manga, Dr. Slump, in 1980, and it inspired two television anime and multiple films. Toriyama followed it up with Dragon Ball, which ran from 1984 to 1995, and is still inspiring manga and anime sequels and spinoffs today. The manga's Dragon Ball anime adaptation, its sequel Dragon Ball Z, and its other numerous sequels and anime films are equally as well-known as the manga, and its hero Goku has become a character known throughout the world.

Toriyama is also well-known as the character designer for the Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Blue Dragon and Tobal games.

Most recently, Toriyama was working closely with the production for the Dragon Ball Daima anime series, the most recent anime series based on Dragon Ball, and is credited for the new anime's story and character designs.

So this is heavy but recently shared, Akira Toriyama, legendary mangaka and creator of Dragon Ball has passed away today at age 68.

I know I am one of many when I say Akira Toriyama’s works were inspirational. The man’s incredibly legacy and influence on the tropes and style of manga we take for granted these days is practically unfathomable. From creators of all walks of life, professions and backgrounds.

He is an indisputable legend of the medium and inspirer of many. Thank you, Toriyama. Thank you and goodbye. May you rest in peace

When I was a teenager, my friends would tell me all about how awesome this cartoon was they were watching. I thought they were lying to me about the content, but their passion for the Dragon Ball and DBZ won me over and really prepared me for my own anime experience as I eased in, watching Studio Ghibli, Digimon, and then Toonami—including DBZ.

He was an important part of my anime journey, and it can't be understated how vital he was to anime's growth in the west (I even co-authored a piece about DBZ recently that touched on that) and particularly to boys and young men, 25 years ago and right through today, and of course not just with manga but in gaming, too.

Thank you, Toriyama-sensei. We're grateful for all you did and we'll miss you.

This drawing is based on a Game Boy mom meme, but except of a mother beating a Super Mario Land level for her kids, it's a retired, legendary-military-general-turned-a-local-sheriff helping a fiend prince beat a level of a scaveneged, gameboy advance game, the teen struggled with for a while now.

SAND LAND Episode 1: The Legendary Spring

There's really no two ways about it, Sunrise (+ Anima & Kamikaze Douga) absolutely nailed Akira Toriyama's world with this first episode. Equally impressive though is their insane 3D work.

I'm a big fan of Sand Land so I don't have much to add from a narrative perspective, but the CGI work on this series is actually incredible. Of course, this is an episodic version of the movie, so it's going to have quality that knocks your socks off, but this is the sort of work that gives Orange a run for its money.

Between this trio, Toei, and Orange, the future of CGI anime has never looked brighter. It's incredible work, impressive awareness, and peerless talent on display.

Because of that though, it just highlights the hack work that the rest of the industry has been doing. These studios have a near perfect understanding of what you can and can't do with 3D anime, and they have the experience and ability to deliver on what they *can* do. It's a massive difference to CGI being used to cut corners or cost on the majority of series, and it absolutely shows.

Hopefully studios learn from this incredible work and begin to pivot, but until then I'll be happily enjoying the seven episodes of Sand Land that are out currently (and periodically sharing my thoughts on them).

Akira Toriyama - Creator/Writer/Artist on Dragon Ball and Sand Land and Dr. Slump, Artist for Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger and Blue Dragon - Dies at 68

I know everybody's talking about it, but I feel like everyone is focusing 100% on how he was the Dragon Ball guy. And while that's undoubtedly his most famous work, I'd say that he had many famous works. He designed all of the Dragon Quest series' characters, which is probably his second-biggest contribution to culture. He also created/designed both characters and settings for the seminal RPG Chrono Trigger, designed the characters for the Tobal series of fighting games, designed all characers for the Blue Dragon series, and wrote/drew NUMEROUS other manga, with his second-most-famous probably being either Sand Land or Dr. Slump. You can get a better look at his entire oeuvre here.

I was legitimately stunned when the news broke. It always felt like he'd keep going forever, y'know?
