He debuted in [[1978]] with the story ''Wonder Island'', published in ''[[Weekly Shonen Jump]]'' magazine, and gained fame for ''[[Dr. Slump]]'', serialized weekly in Shonen Jump from [[1980]] to [[1984]].

He is probably best known for his series ''[[Dragon Ball]]''. This work was one of the linchpins for what is known as the Golden Age of Jump. Its success "forced" Toriyama to work on ''Dragon Ball'' from 1984 to [[1995]]. During that eleven-year period, he produced 519 chapters, collected into 42 volumes. Each volume has an average of 200 pages, so the entire ''Dragon Ball'' storyline extends to almost 9,000 pages. Moreover, the success of ''Dragon Ball'' led to an animated television series, feature-length animated [[film|movies]], [[video games]], and mega-merchandising.

''I'm currently involved in a debate over Esperanza, have a lot of other issues and whatnot, so forgive me if I can't respond quickly. I've lost precious time just typing this message!''

His clean line and design sense led to jobs designing characters for the phenomenally popular ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' series of [[computer role-playing games|role-playing game]] (formerly called ''Dragon Warrior'' in the United States). He has also served as the character designer for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom/SNES]] RPG ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'' and the popular [[fighting game]] ''[[Tobal No. 1]]'' for the [[PlayStation]] (as well as its sequel, ''[[Tobal 2]]'', released only in Japan), and continues to produce the occasional [[manga]] story.

His works after ''Dragon Ball'' tend to be short (100-200 page) stories, including ''[[Cowa!]]'', ''[[Kajika]]'', and ''[[Sandland]]'', as well as one-shots, like the spoof ''[[Neko Majin Z]]''.

He is currently the character designer for a new RPG coming out for the [[Xbox 360]] entitled ''[[Blue Dragon (video game)|Blue Dragon]]''.

The name of Toriyama's studio is ''[[Bird Studio]]'', which is a play on his name, meaning "Bird Mountain".

== ECOTM ==

Hello Doomsday. It seems like we have only 15 members and that we still have a lot to do on the American Rev. article. Maybe, until we get more members (maybe put a notice about COTM on the Ezperanza talk page), we should give a little longer time to the article, like a month and a half. Also, since we selected the draft, I don't think I've seen any collaboration at all. There are users from COTM who are making edits, but nothing is being discussed.

To get to the page type in airsoft my contrib should be the number six one at the bottom of the page it is titled Differant Airsoft Guns.

== Re:loss ==

Hank you for the kind message, DoomsDay! I appreciate it. I'm doing okay, as I know (like WizardryDragon said) that she's out of her pain now. She was sick for a while, I am glad she is at rest.

I hope you're doing okay... I know the EA stuff was stressing you out (as it was us all) but I wanted to commend you for standing up for what you believe in. I most definitely admire your strength! :-)
