  I’ll save you the click. He’s most famous for writing the Dragon Ball sagas, and drawing the characters for the Chrono Trigger game. Slightly less known outside Japan is Dr.Slump, a funny manga/anime about a crazy scientist and his no-less-crazy robot-daughter Arale

    Those who watched the original series or Super may recognise Arale, as she made appearances in both.

    Not to mention the Dragon Quest series! I've never been an anime fan, but Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z will always hold a place in my heart. Last year, I decided to read the series manga—the first and probably only I will ever read. In the forward of each volume, Toriyama talks about random little details of his life, like talking about his pets, a painful dentist visit, etc. This is probably common practice in manga, but as a westerner who has never seen such things, it was absolutely charming, and I enjoyed those glimpses more than I ever would have expected. Rest in peace.

      And the character design not just for Dragon Quest, but Blue Dragon and more notably Chrono Trigger! Chrono Trigger is one game I'd love to see remade.
