Dragon Ball

"...an action-packed tale told with rare humor and something even rarer—a genuine sense of adventure."

"Those two things were what shocked me the most in Dragon Ball... armpits and hands."

"Dragon Ball grew to have more and more muscular characters. I actually regret not having studied muscle models back then, but I still haven't gotten around to it... I thought too much about how the muscles looked [stylistically], so if you look at them as real muscles, it isn't accurate."

"Chi has been used in China since ancient times, but it's supposed to be formless and invisible. However, in manga, in order to make it easier for any reader to grasp, it was necessary to give it a shape. For the kamehameha, I myself did a lot of the different poses and chose the one that I thought would work the best."
