Dragon Ball Super's Toyotarou: The Journey of Akira Toriyama's Successor
Enthralling fans all around the world for decades, the Dragon Ball universe is a gripping blend of martial arts, adventure, and colorful characters. Akira Toriyama, the franchise's creator, rose to fame by creating a universe in which characters like Goku have a profound influence on Anime and manga culture and power levels rise beyond comprehension. A persistent issue over the years has been: Who will continue Dragon Ball's legacy in Toriyama's absence?
It fell to Toyotarou, a talented artist who won a lot of praise for his work on Dragon Ball Super, to carry on the family legacy. Toyotarou already had a history with the property, having created the well-liked fan video series "Dragon Ball AF." He became well-known in the Dragon Ball community as a result of his outstanding work, and Toriyama himself took notice and finally hired him as an artist.
Toyotarou's Mastery of Art and Toriyama's Acceptance
Toyotarou's artistic career started in the Dragon Ball universe. Although his abilities were made popular by "Dragon Ball AF," he wasn't officially acknowledged for his aptitude until he began collaborating with Toriyama. In an interview commemorating Dragon Ball's 30th anniversary, Toriyama made a crucial declaration. "Toyotarou-san is amazing at reproducing my style," he said, expressing his enthusiasm for Toyotarou's abilities and recognizing his remarkable ability to mimic Toriyama's artistic approach.
It was more than just flattery; it was a declaration that implied a possible successor. Over time, Toyotarou's influence on Dragon Ball Super deepened. Character design, character illustrations for the "Resurrection 'F' arc, and story element creation were among the tasks he completed, demonstrating Toriyama's increasing self-assurance.

Toyotarou is a unique artist who can carry on the brand in a way that pays homage to its original creator, thanks to his ability to perfectly capture the contemporary subtleties of Toriyama's visual vision.
It's a daunting thought to take Akira Toriyama's place as a legend. But with Toriyama's support and acknowledgment, together with Toyotarou's commitment, skill, and eagerness to take on new challenges, it seems that the Dragon Ball series will be well-managed as it enters a new chapter.
