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.
