Its our deep regret that he still had several works in the middle of creation with great enthusiasm.
Also, he would have many more things to achieve, wrote Bird Studio in a statement.
However, he has left many manga titles and works of art to this world.
The originalDragon Ballmanga began being serialized on Shonen Jump in 1984 and ran for more than ten years.
It continued into the sequel seriesDragon Ball Z,becoming a staple for manga fans of the 1990s.
Below are some tributes to the legendary artist.
Adios to one of the most important and influential artists of our lifetime.
Line work and character design were legendary.
His work changed my life and so many others.
Without Dragon Ball, Toonami would not have been what it became.
His cultural impact is self-evident and his reach is universal.
An artist loved and admired by all.
Gone too soon at any age, his art will live forever.
Chrono Trigger was my introduction to Akira Toriyama’s artwork.
I was just a little kid and was taken by its unique style.
The character & monster designs were just so lively.
I still consider it one of the best games ever.
Thank you for everything.pic.twitter.com/3vMbz0V3Ch
