Anyone know what this man is up to nowadays? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.151.226.144 (talk • contribs) .

Maybe someone can include a picture of him as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.243.7.145 (talk • contribs) .

He is doing nothing really with Bird Studio, just spending time with his family Son Goku22

Akira Toriyama is a very private person, he never talks about what he is up to, so we can never know if he is working or not. I added twice the one-shot Cashman and the 1998 Cashman (1 issue only manga) but somebody removes them. greekalien

I was attempting to remove the comment someone added to biography about the focus on sayains[sp...], not sure if i succeeded or not, i think i might have reverted it successfully, but i hope i didn't break anything else. not an expert on the more advanced features yet. i was backtracking from a comparison view, to just manually edit it out, but when i refreshed it was gone ... so ... mission accomplished i suspect [ feel free to remove this poor comment, just an explanation in the event my actions messed something unintended up.] --71.77.37.238 03:20, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Akira Toriyama is a Jehovah's Witness? That doesnt sound right considering the material he creates.

[edit] income from Dr. Slump

I remember in the last few pages of the manga Dr. Slump (Taiwan edition) There's a brief talk about the amount of income tax he had paid during the prime time of Dr. Slump in early/mid 80's. Don't quite remember the number but i think it was $500,000,000 Yens (or 1/10th of this amount). Can someone verify this and create a trivia section that include this info?

[edit] WikiProject Biography Notes:

I looked over this as part of WP: Bio's Assessment Drive, and one of the things I noticed it was lacking was an infobox. If anyone would care to add one, the appropriate page is Template: Infobox Person. Thanks! Belril 06:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
