RIP Toriyama Akira

 

Toriyama Akira is probably the most important mangaka when you think about how manga and anime has become sort of mainstream especially with Dragonball. I am continually surprised when meeting people who are not anime people but know and love Dragonball Z. So many people all over the world grew up with Dragonball that it is normal.


He also created Chrono Trigger, one of the greatest JRPGs ever as well as art for the DragonQuest games. One day I will do a replay of Chrono Trigger and I can't wait for DQ12 as long as they have not changed it to an action game like Final Fantasy. Rest in peace Toriyama Akira sensei. Japan and the world has just lost a giant of a man.
