About Dragon Ball:
Akira Toriyama is the man responsible for launching the Dragon Ball media franchise in 1984 in Japan. The original manga, which was written and illustrated by Toriyama, was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1984 until 1995. The 519 individual chapters were later collected by the manga's publisher, Shueisha, into 42 tankbon volumes. The classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, which was written in the 16th century, served as the original inspiration for Dragon Ball. The story also incorporated elements from Hong Kong action films. The story follows the protagonist, Son Goku, from his childhood through his adulthood as he trains in various forms of martial arts. His childhood is spent in the wilderness, away from civilization, until he meets a young woman named Bulma. She convinces him to join her on a journey around the world in search of seven orbs known as the Dragon Balls. When all seven are gathered together, they can be used to call forth a dragon that grants wishes. During the course of his adventure, Goku makes a number of new friends, starts a family, learns about his alien ancestry, and engages in combat with a wide variety of antagonists, many of whom are looking for the Dragon Balls as well.
Since its initial publication, Dragon Ball has grown to become one of the most popular manga and anime series of all time.
