Creator Akira Toriyama's classic manga series, DRAGON BALL (rated ‘T’ for Teens),
introduces a young monkey-tailed boy named Goku (a wry update of the classic
Chinese "Monkey King" legend), whose quiet life changes when he meets a girl
named Bulma who is on a quest to collect seven "Dragon Balls." If she gathers
them all, an incredibly powerful dragon will appear and grant her one wish. She's
on a mission to find the seven orbs, but first she must convince young Goku to join
her on her quest. With a monkey tail, super-human strength, and a magic staff for
a weapon, Goku's ready to set out on the adventure of a lifetime...
Renowned worldwide for his playful, innovative storytelling and humorous,
distinctive art style, Akira Toriyama burst onto the manga scene in 1980 with the
wildly popular DR. SLUMP. His hit series DRAGON BALL (published in the U.S. as
DRAGON BALL and DRAGON BALL Z) ran from 1984 to 1995 in Shueisha's Weekly
Shonen Jump magazine, and is published in North America by Viz Media. Toriyama
is also known for his design work on video games such as Dragon Quest, Chrono
Trigger, Tobal No. 1, and most recently, Blue Dragon. His recent manga works
include COWA! (also published by Viz Media), Kajika, Sand Land, Neko Majin, and a
children's book, Toccio the Angel.
