So I finally found an image that will only remotely describe Akira Toriyama. Perhaps best known for being the creator of Dragonball Z, Mr. Toriyama had humble beginnings as a manga artist. His first published work, Dr. Slump, was rife with the quirky sense of humor Mr. Toriyama is known for. His second work, Dragonball, laid the groundwork for what would be one of the longest-running anime series. The inclusion of martial arts with his humor made for a resounding success, but most stunning were the epic action sequences that Mr. Toriyama drew. Incredibly sharp and always over-the-top, the action of Dragonball Z featured superhuman feats, intergalactic violence, and a cast of characters so large it spanned generations. So sharp are his character design skills that he has been recruited in the past to design for video games as well, the most famous probably being Chrono Trigger. Currently, I believe he's publishing a continuation of Dr. Slump, but I'm not all that sure. If you know, feel free to inform me.
