Happy Birthday, Akira Toriyama!

[Ishtar]

Today marks the birthday of one of the biggest Manga artists of all time, the one and only Akira Toriyama. Akira Toiryama, currently at age 53, is best known for Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump, and to an extent Neko Majin Z. His work has inspired many of today's Manga Artists such as Eiichiro Oda of One Piece and Masashi Kishimoto of Naruto. Oda even got the chance with Toriyama to make a one shot crossover featuring both One Piece and Dragon Ball characters. I'd like to thank Akira Toriyama for his legacy, and to wish him a very Happy Birthday.
