Akira Toriyama is the maker of Dragonball and Dragonball Z. He was born on April 5th, 1955 at the Aichi District, Japan. He graduated and became a graphic designer. In 1978, he published his first manga called Wonder Island. Later that year, he started "Highlight Island" followed by "Tomato Girl Detective". In the year 1980, he started "Dr Slump", which brought him success and fame. Then the Dragonball series. Dragonball became the most famous of all his work so he made Dragonball Z and then his Bird Studio made Dragonball GT. Altogether they sold over 200 million copies...(?) (this included Dragonball/Z/GT)worldwide...mostly Asian countries though.But then North America started getting into it. Toriyama was also the character designer for the popular Dragon Quest series and Chrono Trigger video games. Toriyama I think was the best anime maker ever! Toriyama's best hit was Dragonball and Dragonball Z.Duh!
