 Japanese manga comic artist Akira Toriyama, the creator of "Dragon Ball" has passed away at the age of 68.


Today, I feel choked up upon reading the news of Akira Toriyama's passing on March 1st due to a cerebral hemorrhage. According to a statement from Toriyama's company Bird Studio, he was still actively involved in various creative projects before his sudden departure, leaving an immense sense of loss for readers worldwide.

Toriyama was born in 1955 in Aichi Prefecture. He studied design at a vocational school and worked at an advertising company in Nagoya for 3 years before becoming a professional comic artist at around the age of 20. He initially gained recognition with his work "Dr. Slump" (1980-1984), for which he won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1981. In 1984, he introduced "Dragon Ball," which became a sensation, selling over 500 million copies worldwide, including 35 million copies in the Japanese market.


The image of kid Son Goku riding on the Nimbus cloud has been a part of my childhood memories. Through Anderson316's paper craft project, we can bring this image to life. While the original project didn't include the Nimbus cloud, using cotton to create clouds is a relatively straightforward task.
