Akira Toriyama the legendary Mangaka artist and story-teller for his hit series like Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and Dr.Slumps has sadly passed away on March 1st 2024 at the age of 68, the Dragon Ball creator passed away due to an acute subdural hematoma, he is survived by his wife, and two children.
With the success of his series, he himself has been an influence/influential icon in the Manga industry and Genre with multiple artists from Naruto, One Piece, and many other franchises citing that Akira Toriyama was their inspiration for their characters.
As anyone knows I am a fan of the series with Broly, Kid Buu, Vegeta, and Goten being Amongst my favorite characters in the series and this does hurt because now we will never see his true vision and his true work through Dragon Ball Super Manga/Anime and his upcoming last creation of Dragon Ball Daima.
Akira Toriyama has had great success with Dragon Quests, Dr.Slumps, and other variations of his Dragon Ball work through Video Games.
Its with a heavy heart to the fanbase...Rest easy and in peace Akira Toriyama!!! Thank you for your talents and your legacy!!!
