The inspiration of Dragonball and Dragonball Z

With Dragon Ball Z (or “Dragonball Z”) reaching the top of the anime series charts, many anime fans have asked what inspired the artist to create this truly exciting series. Dragon Ball Z has taken the world by storm and there is no doubt that Japanese manga artist Akira Toriyama created an anime series that has been a pure delight for fans all over the world. The Dragon Ball series has spawned dozens of best-selling fighting video games popular around the world. Not only can you buy the Dragon Ball video games including Dragon Ball GT, there are also countless sites to get cheats and walkthroughs for all the games.

But what inspired this incredible mix of fantasy and imagination? What has pushed Dragon Ball above the rest for anime fans and placed it at the top of the ranks? What are its roots?

As a child, Akira avidly watched anime, a Japanese video cartoon animation style. When he was 10 years old, he switched to manga, which is the Japanese word for comics. He also assimilated his inspiration from other sources. Growing up a Jackie Chan fan, a key stimulus for Dragon Ball was the first Jackie Chan movie, Drunken Master.

How did you become successful in the world of manga? It all started with submitting a story to a monthly contest for amateur artists, and although he didn’t win, the publisher later hired him. After a year of hard work, he became a professional. He feels that making manga can bring out his individuality since he creates both the story and the art.

The amazingly illustrated attacks that materialize in Dragon Ball Z were inspired by an ancient art in China, Chi (also spelled Ki), which means Universal Life Energy. Chi is usually shapeless and invisible, but in manga art, Toriyama shaped it to be easy to grasp. In Dragon Ball, another well-known attack is called a kamehameha, for which our anime artist made many poses himself and chose the best one.

Plot and character developments were often inspired by letters from readers, such as one character, Vegeta. Toriyama found that he was often inspired by the comments of fans of him and used the advantage to spark imagination in his anime series.

Influenced by the works of Walt Disney, such as 101 Dalmatians, and the work of another mangaka, writer, and illustrator, Osamu Tezuka (creator of Astro Boy and known as the “Walt Disney of Japan”), he brought his creations to life in Dragon Ball, perhaps inspired by the aforementioned, but truly the creativity of his own mind. The Dragon Ball anime series has likely been the inspiration for other manga artists in its own right.

When asked what materials he uses to create his art, he replies that he used to use quill pens and colored inks, but today he uses a Macintosh. And who can question the efficiency of modern equipment in exceptional anime and manga.

And with a new remastered season of Dragon Ball Z (first 39 episodes restored) coming in as the best-selling series to date, Japanese artist Akira Toriyama is sure to be known as the most inspired manga artist of his time.
