Revisiting this following his unfortunate passing. Without this man, anime and manga would not have been revolutionized and possibly would not be big. He was a really kind and honest person too based on this interview. RIP Toriyama-sensei😢
@@TaikoNakatomi Rest in power means even though that person has passed, they're still making changes in society or has done something great enough to change society as a whole.
The fact that he just draws the character with no sketch is beyond amazing... keeping scale and perspective right FIRST TRY is something even experienced artist struggle with. Man was gifted and probably one of the best and most influencial artists of all time. May he rest in peace.
Toriyama is the goat but his art is notorious for having some really wonky perspective. Just look at the faces when they’re drawn between profile and straight on
Man, the fact that he actually disliked and intentionally avoided the trope themes of Shonen manga, and yet still grew to be one of the most successful/influential Shonen mangaka of all time, is absolutely wild. It makes me appreciate the wholesome Shonen-y moments in DB more now knowing that they weren't forced, and that the moments that did happen were organic to the story and done exactly how Toriyama wanted them done.
Honestly, I'm so glad that this video exists. For years I always wanted to watch a interview with Akira Toriyama, but most of the time they were either very short or not fully translated. I also learned more about Toriyama and being a manga artist because of this so thanks for uploading this man.
Me too! It's so mesmorising watching the master at work! Just seeing him draw in his iconic style takes me right back to my school days! I used to draw all sorts of Toriyama style characters (including my own) during lessons when I was bored. I used to get into trouble for drawing in my school books, but I don't regret it for a second because those drawings took me into another world away from the real one.
Don't stereotype the mangaka life, it comes in many forms, this is his personal experience growing up in a different time, a different country, and a different economy, Remember the dragon ball the anime came out in 1986, I couldn't find an exact release date for the manga, but the earliest I could find was issue No. 51 being released in 1984 And when he spoke about becoming a manga artist and going through hard times, and even working in an advertising company, that was way before he started work on dragon ball, I just want to make sure people aren't misled, this teaches us about being a manga artist an entire lifetime ago, Most artists are using hacks to put work out quicker these days, ofcourse using digital art, but comic artists also take a lot of noticeable shortcuts to get the stories out
@@duke_nukeham6789me too lmao 😂 I remember drawing since middle school. Instead of doing my work, I’d draw under a book 😂😂😂 I remember drawing goku and pals, naruto, sonic, and sometimes - since I was a teenage boy with raging hormones, I’d draw hentai, nood anime characters having sex. Like bulma and goku, Sakura with naruto, Hinata with goku etc. I’d even draw my female classmates and myself in one 😂 I once got caught and they just said I draw really well. And I should be an artist.
This is probably one of the best deep dives into Toriyama’s mind caught on audio. More DB fans should watch this it’s so insightful. To know he never really cared about manga or cartooning in general, only to become one of the most influential commercial artist in modern media is just hilarious and astounding. Among other insights on how he feels about the characters and the story; this is such a dope interview.
The level of mastery this man had is incredible, he did not start making the sketch, no, he started making the face, the eyes, the clothes, and then proceeded to pass it with ink.
True... but he wasn't speaking while drawing (that was true only in that last clip with him drawing that fast sketch), as he said, the inking and painting clip was from 20 years ago that time, being it 1995, it is to presume they recorded it on 2015.
Very humble to doesn’t like to boast just down plays his accomplishments an says it wasn’t easy for me I stole out my moms change I was broke didn’t even want any praise for anything the whole entire interview just talked about how hard it was for him to get here didn’t boast about nothing that’s a guy I will always respect because I’m the same I don’t like praises from nobody I deflect them I tell people all the time I’m not a genius I wasn’t born with any gifts whatever I accomplish now was from hard work and luck no talent
akira toriyama sensei... Thank you for all the work you have done, all the lives you have changed over the years, you inspired and you will continue to inspire everyone... Although you left this world... you left behind more treasure than any of us can carry... you will always be the best mangaka ever to exist! Rest in peace.
Ive been an artist for 16 years now and its very interesting and inspiring to hear his perspective on how effortless his skills were when he was younger and drawing all the time due to the work schedule. Its a great reminder that your skills and your art will change and when you are no longer in you peak form, that is ok. Its just another step in your art journey.
I watched this the day before the announcement of his death. The next day, I found a comment about his passing and checked it. It is true. Toriyama-sensei is not woth us anymore but his legacy still alive.
Respect to this man. I was introduced to his work as a kid in the mid 90s and don’t think I ever heard him speak until today. Such a funny relatable artist & what a worker.
I actually like Akira Toriyama's style of art more than any other anime even if it's not considered the "best" style of art, it doesn't matter. It was so unique and had so much personality! RIP Akira Toriyama
@@edward18517 He said he did that, because it made the scenario look more serious. As the characters matured and the story became more serious, he drew everything more angular. Worked perfectly in my opinion.
@@ozee7317 to me it just makes it look worse and, especially as it goes on, more lazy (alongside things like more generic (and by Buu more blank) designs for the backgrounds of the panels). I don't recall him saying that was the reason he did it though. Certainly didn't feel like the reason considering it was happening progressively throughout the series. Just felt like his natural drawing "evolution". If he were to do it to mark being more "mature" though that'd have started at like Piccolo Daimao.
@@edward18517 He said it in his interview that's in the official DragonBall Artbook :) It's cool that you don't like it. Funny enough, in the same interview he says that he finds all of those old DragonBall artworks Guly these days. In his recent work he also returned to a less angular art style. I prefer The angular stuff tho.
@@OZEEtube He didn't say there that it was to make it look more serious, he said "By the second half of Dragon Ball I was more caught up in the story than in the actual drawing. That's why I started to put less emphasis on the art as it progressed. As the fights became more furious, I began to draw with straighter and simpler lines." Really wish they'd translate the other Daizenshuus though. It's nice to have the first one as the "art book" for the translated stuff, but there's like 7 others they never translated x_x As for the art after Dragon Ball though, he can "intentionally" try to draw things more rounded, but it never quite looked like he used to draw after it gets halfway through Namek.
The part where he talks about Oda (one piece) giving him advice. I swear toriyama is a mix of mr roshi and goku in terms of personality and how accepting of others words they are and how unbothered he is
He said that he had been talking on the phone all day with a manga artist friend of his. The manga artist said that Mr. Toriyama was very interesting to talk to.
@@daTutankabron Thank you for telling me that. I didn't know he was so popular overseas. I am looking forward to the emergence of a new Akira Toriyama from the next generation around the world. May his soul rest in peace. Sensei🥲
I still can't believe that he's not really with us, I can't assimilate it, it's really hard for me, I just have to say thank you for everything AKIRA TORIYAMA SENSEI
Funny how these interviews were hard to come by at all before his passing. Super insightful interview with Toriyama himself that has good takeaways for artists
Thank you for your valuable video! Although the teacher has passed away, his posthumous work "DAIMA'' will begin in the fall of 2024. Let's all have fun!
I think a true genius doesn't even recognize his own genius. I also have the same impression about Toriyama. It is simply his natural flow of passion that has left such a great life's work of art. May you rest in peace Akira Toriyama. You will live forever.
Oda's thoughts on the sudden loss of Toriyama: [From Comic Book Resources, translated official One Piece Reddit] forum Oda's statement into English. It is too early. The hole is too big. Sadness washes over me when I think that I will never see him again. I have admired him so much since I was a child, so I remember the day he called me by name for the first time. On the way home from the day you used the word "friend" for me and Kishimoto, I remember being overjoyed with Kishimoto. I also remember the last conversation we had. I was one of those who took the baton from the days when reading manga made you a fool, and he also created an era when both adults and children could enjoy reading manga. He showed us the dream that manga can go worldwide. It was like watching a hero going forward. For not only mangakas but also creators in various industries, the excitement and emotion of the time of Dragon Ball serialization must have taken root in their childhood.His existence is like a big tree. For the manga artists of our generation who stood on the same stage, Toriyama's works became more and more important to me as I got closer to the same stage. I even felt being scary. But I am just happy to see the aloof man himself again. Because we love him on a blood level. With respect and gratitude for the creative world he has left behind. I pray for his soulful rest in peace. May heaven be the joyous world he envisioned.
CAPTIONS MISTAKE 18:34 Interviewer: Did you get the prize money from that one? Toriyama: No, I didn't (I did not win) Toriyama: If I had, I would have quit (drawing manga) after that.
...the kind of sad thing about this is...when you think of how little he recalls, it might have to with the fact that he got so little sleep during that period of time. It may have negatively impacted his brain. Seriously.
Naw akira just was very hands off and chill. He forgot stuff all the time. He lived in the moment. Also remember ssj hair is the color it is cause he was lazy and didnt wanna color the hair in lol
@@dreameater7445 when it came to toei after a while he was hands off. Did he not complain about super early episodes. Didnt he take over the story from toyotaro during Goku black arc? That means he took his hands off of it until others start fucking his shit up
@@FREE_WILL_DEFENDER you dismissed OP's theory of his work DURING HIS PRIME contributing to his horrible memory by explaining that he was hands off during the busiest period of his life. Thats the context Other things u said were indeed true, but it all comes after the fact
Thank you for creating a masterpiece and a world that has touched us so deeply. You have touched and changed so many lives. May you rest in peace and watch us carry on your legend.❤❤❤❤❤ 😭😭😭😭😭
I am the same age as you. The weekly manga magazines that carried Dragon Ball and the anime broadcasts were my favorite times too. Since then, there has never been a time when I have been so engrossed in it. The power of manga is great.
This man was a true Manga legend and hilarious guy all rolled into one . I loved how he never took himself to seriously . Truly a humble remarkable man . Rest in peace Toriyama sensei you’ve earned it
it's video is satisfactory when i see that video it always make happy with the great style of akira toriyama, greeting from guatemala and greting to dragon ball fans
Always a pleasure to hear the genius talk about his work. A disarmingly banal view on his own legacy. But that's what makes his stuff so great and Toriyama himself so likable.
at 32:15 He actually said something I was thinking for a while. What made him great is that he wasn't inspired by mangas, but movies, which made him great. You will never get someone like him since all are mainly inspired by mangas.
Honestly, there was a point in time where I had lost appreciation for Dragon Ball and Toriyama himself because of the toxic fandom, but I've grown as a person as well as an artist, and I really have a newfound appreciation for him. His art style is simple, but he had a really great understanding of anatomy and colouring. I wouldn't call him the greatest writer, but he was still a genius in his own way and managed to tell fairly great stories, regardless. Not to mention how much of a humble person he seemed to be. I wish I hadn't let my distaste for the fandom get to me like that, but I've learned to separate the positive from the negative and appreciate Toriyama for what he's done in his own right.
While watching this video again in the morning, it hit me hard as he said he didn't get to sleep much and if you have passion you can make a career out of it. I too stayed all night and was practicing anatomy more and definitely improved to meet my expectations with me. I still have more to go with it but the difficult stuff has been overcome. The narrator said you can't imagine before drawing but that's what I do and I think that's what sensei Toriyama Akira did in the video too as he pictured out the pose while drawing. Not always but sometimes I picture how my character should be like: their eyes- I imagine how a character should have different stuff to make his/her eyes stand out, any accessories, tools etc and I get to draw it. One of the most powerful characters of my own manga just popped in my head while I was laying down and I immediately drew him on the paper before I forget it and I now have him. I still have a lot of characters in my head that I want to draw and it's not so easy but definitely not impossible. Other than that, sensei Toriyama Akira too didn't use guidelines while drawing characters and so do I, he too is a countryside guy and me too, he too didn't read manga prior to deciding to be a manga artist and me too, he too loved to research about manga artists and me too, the wish of humans waking up 24/7 came into my mind too and I shared the same to one of my family members a while back. Not trying to make me sound like I'm another him but we both have many similarities when I think of it. 😢
My glorious king. Toriyama created my teenage years. I would love watching dbs with my brother. Each new episode was exciting especially how Goku was fighting Jiren. And the best part is that my brother and I got to bond over it and hes older by more than 10 years. Now, we do not have that time anymore but I loved those saturdays I would watch with him. Thank you rest in peace
He’s such a humble guy he lets you know he’s still human and makes mistakes no matter how successful he is he bound to make errors dude created this stuff an still says guys I mess up sometimes drawing my own stuff isn’t that humble
It's crazy how quickly Toriyama's working and how great that Goku drawing looks despite that. He makes it look effortless, but it's not easy to have this much confidence in your lines, effortlessly putting down great looking lines without relying on tons of drafts and corrections.
He’s so humble tho he always down plays his own work he said when he was young it was so effortlessly done now he’s old an he can’t do that anymore he said
Toriyama is such a hoot n a holler hahaha! He's so unserious and he will forever be remembered. Him making fun of himself, while also being very humble is why Ive always loved him as an artist. Extremely talented, but doesn't claim to be anywhere near the best (even though he is one of the greatest)
Rest in peace legend.
RIP

こんな動きのある絵を真っ白の紙のままから描ける先生は本当に絵に才能があったんだと思います。先生は謙遜して今の人は描けると言ってますが、普通の人はあたりをつけて描かないと描けませんね。
自分が伝説の漫画描いてたって自覚ないかんじがいいよなー。ホントに尊敬する。
I'm going to miss him even though I never met him he impacted my life and many others with his creation
Thank you for your valuable video! Although the teacher has passed away, his posthumous work "DAIMA'' will begin in the fall of 2024. Let's all have fun!
I wish I would have given him a BIG hug and thank him for the amazing childhood he gave me.
Same here i was always saying i would meet him
@@A.c.e2.0would have been difficult to meet him as he was very private.
Rest easy King 👑 your legendary works will live on forever
His style of drawing was very similar to mine. No shapes just drawing out of my head and used cheap resources. So relatable
16:05 You did Great!
😢 Thanks for everything! We Will always remember You... RIP
I think a true genius doesn't even recognize his own genius. I also have the same impression about Toriyama. It is simply his natural flow of passion that has left such a great life's work of art. May you rest in peace Akira Toriyama. You will live forever.
Oda's thoughts on the sudden loss of Toriyama:
[From Comic Book Resources, translated official One Piece Reddit] forum Oda's statement into English.
It is too early.
The hole is too big. Sadness washes over me when I think that I will never see him again.
I have admired him so much since I was a child, so I remember the day he called me by name for the first time. On the way home from the day you used the word "friend" for me and Kishimoto, I remember being overjoyed with Kishimoto. I also remember the last conversation we had.
I was one of those who took the baton from the days when reading manga made you a fool, and he also created an era when both adults and children could enjoy reading manga. He showed us the dream that manga can go worldwide. It was like watching a hero going forward.
For not only mangakas but also creators in various industries, the excitement and emotion of the time of Dragon Ball serialization must have taken root in their childhood.His existence is like a big tree.
For the manga artists of our generation who stood on the same stage, Toriyama's works became more and more important to me as I got closer to the same stage. I even felt being scary. But I am just happy to see the aloof man himself again. Because we love him on a blood level.
With respect and gratitude for the creative world he has left behind. I pray for his soulful rest in peace.
May heaven be the joyous world he envisioned.
man, I still can’t believe it, he really inspired everyone on a completely different level, rip my goat
stop saying "goat". it's in relation with satanic demonic worshippers
MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSON IN MEDIA HISTORY
Thank you for all the good times, Toriyama-sensei. You will be missed. And you will never be forgotten. You left your mark. Rest well.
RIP great legend. Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done since 1984. Akira will forever be known as the GOAT of manga.
This is gold. Thank you for uploading
Nice pfp
It was amazing to see Sensei work and hear his voice, true respect to our passed on God Of Manga. Rest In Peace Toriyama-Sensei
CAPTIONS MISTAKE 18:34
Interviewer: Did you get the prize money from that one?
Toriyama: No, I didn't (I did not win)
Toriyama: If I had, I would have quit (drawing manga) after that.
...the kind of sad thing about this is...when you think of how little he recalls, it might have to with the fact that he got so little sleep during that period of time. It may have negatively impacted his brain. Seriously.
Naw akira just was very hands off and chill. He forgot stuff all the time. He lived in the moment. Also remember ssj hair is the color it is cause he was lazy and didnt wanna color the hair in lol
@@FREE_WILL_DEFENDER Hands off?????
Mr "I only have 1 assistant who barely makes it in to work" Toriyama??
@@dreameater7445 when it came to toei after a while he was hands off. Did he not complain about super early episodes. Didnt he take over the story from toyotaro during Goku black arc? That means he took his hands off of it until others start fucking his shit up
@@FREE_WILL_DEFENDER you dismissed OP's theory of his work DURING HIS PRIME contributing to his horrible memory by explaining that he was hands off during the busiest period of his life.
Thats the context
Other things u said were indeed true, but it all comes after the fact
He was humble.
Thank you for creating a masterpiece and a world that has touched us so deeply. You have touched and changed so many lives. May you rest in peace and watch us carry on your legend.❤❤❤❤❤ 😭😭😭😭😭
Rest in paradise akira toriyama thank you for my childhood days your creation of dragon ball
外国人の方々から本当に沢山のメッセージ寄せられて驚くばかり…凄い。
33:16 DBのイラストの中で
配色、構図ともに1番上手く仕上がったとの事です。鳥山明さんが気に入っている唯一の作品です。
Played so many DBZ games for hours and rewatching DBZ. RIP Akira and thank you for all the memories.
鳥山先生はほとんどメディアに姿を出さない人だったから、この動画は本当に貴重。
漫画家を目指す若い人の参考になるよう保護してほしい。
I imagine a scenario where Toyotaro is complaining about the monthly deadline and toriyama pulls up with the "Back in my day!"
lmaooo
He’s so effortlessly funny 😭 RIP Sensei
Rest in Peace to the Legend. We'll miss you Akira. Thank you.
Man whatever interview he gave whether in text or in video, it was always funny and it always had "laughs" ❤😂
This man inspired me to get into drawing.
This is pure gold✨✨
Thank you for uploading this,
I learnt A LOT about the greatest of them all!!!
Rest in peace, ✨👑Toriyama👑✨
We have to archive akira’s full works
生き様が、ストリートで、リスぺで、感謝です!…✍️😲✨
This is honestly what's called talent rest in piece, talented legend.
30:43 interviewer: I see friendship is a big theme in dragon ball
Toriyama: There Is NO friendship
🤣
Being 40 the only thing I looked forward too at school was the dragonball episode right after
I am the same age as you. The weekly manga magazines that carried Dragon Ball and the anime broadcasts were my favorite times too. Since then, there has never been a time when I have been so engrossed in it. The power of manga is great.
It's crazy how an extremely influential mangaka doesn't have many interviews..
he has a lot of interviews but most of them are in magazine or books etc. so this one is indeed rare for him.
He rarely goes to events and is a very pricate person
This is such a premium content
Rest in peace, Toriyama-sensei 🐉❤
He was the greatest of all time
stop using the "goat" acronym. it's related to satanic demonic worshippers
🕊 R.I.P AKIRA TORIYAMA
This man was a true Manga legend and hilarious guy all rolled into one . I loved how he never took himself to seriously . Truly a humble remarkable man . Rest in peace Toriyama sensei you’ve earned it
it's video is satisfactory when i see that video it always make happy with the great style of akira toriyama, greeting from guatemala and greting to dragon ball fans
絵が上手すぎるのもさることながら、Dr.スランプ以来何年も毎週ストーリーを考えてあれだけの量の作画をあのクオリティでしていたというのが驚異的すぎる。お疲れ様でした。
ドラゴンボールをどうもありがとう Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama😢
Love to see the master at work!
Always a pleasure to hear the genius talk about his work. A disarmingly banal view on his own legacy. But that's what makes his stuff so great and Toriyama himself so likable.
at 32:15 He actually said something I was thinking for a while. What made him great is that he wasn't inspired by mangas, but movies, which made him great. You will never get someone like him since all are mainly inspired by mangas.
He was a great man, in many ways... we will miss his art, his gifts, his stories, yet his inspiration will persist in us all forever.
Honestly, there was a point in time where I had lost appreciation for Dragon Ball and Toriyama himself because of the toxic fandom, but I've grown as a person as well as an artist, and I really have a newfound appreciation for him. His art style is simple, but he had a really great understanding of anatomy and colouring. I wouldn't call him the greatest writer, but he was still a genius in his own way and managed to tell fairly great stories, regardless. Not to mention how much of a humble person he seemed to be.
I wish I hadn't let my distaste for the fandom get to me like that, but I've learned to separate the positive from the negative and appreciate Toriyama for what he's done in his own right.
While watching this video again in the morning, it hit me hard as he said he didn't get to sleep much and if you have passion you can make a career out of it. I too stayed all night and was practicing anatomy more and definitely improved to meet my expectations with me. I still have more to go with it but the difficult stuff has been overcome. The narrator said you can't imagine before drawing but that's what I do and I think that's what sensei Toriyama Akira did in the video too as he pictured out the pose while drawing. Not always but sometimes I picture how my character should be like: their eyes- I imagine how a character should have different stuff to make his/her eyes stand out, any accessories, tools etc and I get to draw it. One of the most powerful characters of my own manga just popped in my head while I was laying down and I immediately drew him on the paper before I forget it and I now have him. I still have a lot of characters in my head that I want to draw and it's not so easy but definitely not impossible. Other than that, sensei Toriyama Akira too didn't use guidelines while drawing characters and so do I, he too is a countryside guy and me too, he too didn't read manga prior to deciding to be a manga artist and me too, he too loved to research about manga artists and me too, the wish of humans waking up 24/7 came into my mind too and I shared the same to one of my family members a while back. Not trying to make me sound like I'm another him but we both have many similarities when I think of it. 😢
My glorious king. Toriyama created my teenage years. I would love watching dbs with my brother. Each new episode was exciting especially how Goku was fighting Jiren. And the best part is that my brother and I got to bond over it and hes older by more than 10 years. Now, we do not have that time anymore but I loved those saturdays I would watch with him. Thank you rest in peace
確かに当時から人気な漫画雑誌ではありました。しかしジャンプの漫画家である事が特別だったのでは無く、鳥山さんがドクタースランプ、そしてドラゴンボールでその発行部数に押し上げて、ジャンプを特別な少年誌にしたんです。ドラゴンボールの連載が終了して数十年経った今なお、日本にその影響力や人気を超える漫画は無いです。日本人のスポーツ選手が海外に行くと、どこの国に行でも必ずドラゴンボールの話をされるそうです。そんな方がこんなに謙虚でおられる。人としても偉大な方だったなぁ。
It's so INCREDIBLE to see this, OMG! This is amazing! The hand of the MASTER, Toriyama sensei! ❤❤ He went too soon! We miss you dearly 😫😭
He’s such a humble guy he lets you know he’s still human and makes mistakes no matter how successful he is he bound to make errors dude created this stuff an still says guys I mess up sometimes drawing my own stuff isn’t that humble
Man truly you are the GOAT
Thank you master, your lessons will be on each of my traces
It's crazy how quickly Toriyama's working and how great that Goku drawing looks despite that. He makes it look effortless, but it's not easy to have this much confidence in your lines, effortlessly putting down great looking lines without relying on tons of drafts and corrections.
He’s so humble tho he always down plays his own work he said when he was young it was so effortlessly done now he’s old an he can’t do that anymore he said
Toriyama is such a hoot n a holler hahaha! He's so unserious and he will forever be remembered. Him making fun of himself, while also being very humble is why Ive always loved him as an artist. Extremely talented, but doesn't claim to be anywhere near the best (even though he is one of the greatest)
RIP TORIYAMA ♥️💔
HE WAS SO GOOD HE DIDNT EVEN NEED TO DRAW THE BASIC SHAPES FIRST
