Artist

The Resume

    (April 5, 1955-March 1, 2024)
    Created the 'Dragon Ball (both Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z)' series, 'Dr. Slump,' 'Cowa!,' 'Kajika,' 'Sandland' and 'Neko Majin Z'
    Owner of Bird Studios

Why he might be annoying:

    He quit college to become an manga artist.
    He gave us 'Dragon Ball' and its over rated, action/fighting-oriented sequel 'Dragon Ball Z.'
    He permitted FUNimation to heavily censor 'Dragon ball Z' to gear it to a younger audience. This greatly upset the fans of the original Japanese anime series.
    He gave TOEI animation permission to continue his 'Dragon Ball' series with 'Dragon Ball GT.'
    He loves playing video games.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He gained fame with his big hit 'Dr. Slump.'
    Both 'Dragon Ball' and 'Dragon Ball Z' are considered excellent works.
    He was a character designer for 'Chrono Trigger' and the 'Dragon Quest' series of video games.
    It is believed he ended 'Dragon Ball Z' so he could be with his family.
    He cites Osamu Tezuka and Walt Disney as his artistic influences.
    He's a Jackie Chan fan.
