CATDOLL: Dragon Ball comics author Akira Toriyama's first submission statement released

The new July series "Dragon Ball: Super" is now on air, and the two gods are fighting fiercely. Although Master Akira Toriyama is only responsible for the original design of this new series of "Dragon Ball" animation, his name has long been a golden signboard with infinite appeal. However, thirty years have passed, and thirty years have passed. The master of that year also had sad past. Recently, the Internet exposed his personal remarks written when he first submitted an article at the age of 22.

Akira Toriyama originally wanted to submit his first work to Shonen Magazine, because its "Newcomer Award" was 500,000 yen, which was quite attractive to Akira Toriyama who did not have a full-time job. But in the end, he failed to meet the deadline for the competition, so he turned to Shonen Jump, which accepts submissions every month.

Akira Toriyama (22 years old) Unemployed

Born on April 5, Showa 30 (1955)

After graduating from a high school in Aichi Prefecture with a degree in design, I worked as a designer for a company for a while, but resigned in January 1977. Until now, I have been making a living by drawing illustrations part-time.

This is the first time in my life that I have drawn a complete comic. Of course, this is also my first submission.

For this reason, many netizens lamented: "It was not easy for Master Akira Toriyama back then." "He drew his first complete comic at the age of 22, which can be said to be a genius." Some people even compared him with Eiichiro Oda, the author of "One Piece", because he was also 22 years old when he began serializing in the 34th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump.
