[edit] Akira Toriyama

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. —The preceding comment is by 63.144.29.9 (talk • contribs) 63.144.29.9: Please sign your posts!

[edit] What the hell?!? He's dead?

Does anyone have a link to confirm that he died today? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.52.68.44 (talk • contribs) 68.52.68.44 (UTC)

That statement was never true. I remember reading about this case years ago. Yeah, they even talked about it on DaizenshuuEX. See the link. ~I'm anonymous

[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?

I wouldn't know. Sorry. ~I'm anonymous

[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)

[edit] In spite of Dragon Ball's sales

"...became a record-breaking best seller with over 120 million copies sold." Can someone reference this? I'm certain I've seen this somewhere on the internet; looking back on it, I can't seem to find it again. ~I'm anonymous

It has been taken care of. ~I'm anonymous

[edit] Blue Dragon Quote

I remember reading that that quote was misreferenced and was in fact stated not by Toriyama but by Blue Dragon's director, who is not Toriyama. —The preceding comment is by 72.70.50.238 (talk • contribs) 72.70.50.238: Please sign your posts!

All sources say it was Tori. Unless, can you provide the link(s) where it said that? ~I'm anonymous

[edit] His family

anyone know about his family? I heard he has 2 brothers and 1 sister, one of his brother is a mixed canadian-japanese? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.95.11.151 (talk • contribs).

Where'd you hear that? Sounds like a rumour. ~I'm anonymous

[edit] GA failed

I don't think the coverage is deep enough. The biography section is under 3000 characters. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
