We Asked Akira Toriyama! 2013
We hit up Akira Toriyama directly to interview him about a wide range of questions about Dragon Ball, such as the unknown private face of Goku & co. and the setup of the realm of the gods! We’ll close in on never-before revealed truths about the world of Dragon Ball, one question at a time!!
Character Section
Q: At times when there are no battles, or on days off, what sorts of things do the warriors do?
Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo train; Gohan studies; Bulma does [scientific] research; Satan makes appearances at events; and Kame-Sen’nin watches videos.
Q: There are a lot of mealtime scenes shown in Dragon Ball, but who’s the best cook?
The best ones at cooking are Gyūmaō and Yamcha, probably? For some reason, they have that sort of image.
Q: Scenes involving Goku’s home life appeared in the manga, but what are things like at home with Kuririn or Bulma?
Kuririn’s family is an exceptionally ordinary household, but #18 is scary when she gets angry, so Kuririn goes out of his way a little bit for her. Bulma’s family has had a laissez-faire attitude for generations, but Bulma has complete control over things as a rule.
Q: In the world of Dragon Ball, there are Earthlings in a variety of forms, such as animal-type characters. People such as the King and the director of the Tenka’ichi Budōkai were dogs; is there anything you do consciously when creating animal-type characters?
As for why I draw animal-type characters so often, I do of course like animals, but basically, it’s because it’s easy to do a greater number of variations. Dogs in particular have an image of being more loyal and purer than humans, so I make good use of them.
Q: Are there any characters that were actually modeled on someone?
In terms of [character] models, I suppose “Beerus”, the God of Destruction, was modeled on the 14-year-old cat currently living with us. It’s called a Cornish Rex; it’s a bit of a rare breed. I’m getting off-topic here, but the other day, in spite of developing a serious illness, and the vet declaring it didn’t have long to live, it miraculously got better on its own, and the vet said it might be some kind of demon. Karin-sama is modeled after the cat we had before that.1 Apart from that, nothing else comes to mind. Basically, I almost never make someone [i.e., a particular person] into a model [for a character]. There may be characters that were influenced by something, but not anything specific.

We've picked out some interesting interviews with Akira Toriyama from books released in the past!
What is the surprising reason behind Krillin's decision to get married?
"At first, I just wanted Krillin to be a supporting character, but before I knew it, he had become like Goku's best friend...but he's had some pretty bad experiences, so I thought, 'I need to give him a good experience every once in a while,' and got him married (laughs)."
Goku has no interest in raising children!
"Goku has no interest in raising children, probably completely disqualified. Completely unfit to be a father (laughs). He's not even working. Goku just wants to get stronger, and it seems like he has no other instincts."

The Secrets of King Kai and Kaiōshin
"The population of the central planet where King Kais were born and raised is around 80 people. There are no gender differences among the Kaiōs and other core beings, and they live leisurely lives, learning various things in their school-like castle."
It's easier to think of character names if they are consistent across a series
"The name Freeza was chosen with the image of a refrigerator in mind. So I decided to standardize the names based on the foods contained within. Saiyans are vegetables, the Ginyu Force are dairy products, and so on."

Akira Toriyama's favorite and least favorite animals
"My favorite animals are amphibians, followed by dogs and cats. I used to only be afraid of mice, but I've been getting over that fear since I got a hamster thanks to my kids."

New World Section
Q: It seems that there are quite a few kinds of Neko Majin; do they all have the cheerful disposition and the strength of the main Neko Majin characters?
Many Neko Majin have a cheerful personality, but among them, there are also pessimistic ones, as well as quiet, intellectual Neko Majin. It’s probably all right to think of “strong” the standard power of the Neko Majin race. This is normal for them, from the start.
Q: Are the Neko Majin a race originally from Earth?
Naturally, they are a race that has been on Earth since before humans. Among them, there are apparently even those who have been alive since that time. They are frighteningly long-lived, but as they are capricious, they never quite increase in number.
Q: The aliens who appeared in Neko Majin and the aliens who appeared in Abale-chan look alike; are they the same aliens?
They do look alike, but they are different aliens. Or rather, the aliens I draw generally have this sort of design. At the time, I enjoyed drawing Neko Majin, so when aliens appeared in Abale-chan, I didn’t even intend to come up with a new design. (laughs)
World Section
Q: What are the requirements for becoming strong?
There are physical limits to the strength of the body itself, so in order to overcome that barrier, it’s necessary to increase your “ki”. Normally, the more you increase your ki, the harder it is to control, so ki control is also important.
Q: In the film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, coming out in March 2013, a new god, the “God of Destruction”, appears. In this [book], Kaiō-sama and Kaiōshin-sama are described as “Gods of Creation”, but do they have the power to create things like planets?
Rather than Kaiōshin-sama making planets, he is able to provide the impetus for them to be born. Also, he will sometimes divide up one planet and increase the number of planets. He will even do things like create life-forms, or transplant them from another planet, but his basic job is to watch over the numerous planets. Because the number of planets is so very large, the four Kaiō-sama help him out as well. They intervene if it appears that the world’s balance will crumble, but normally, they merely act in an advisory role for new life-forms, and don’t get involved. In order to provide a balance to the constantly increasing number of planets, the God of Destruction destroys [them], but he does not act on Kaiōshin’s orders; he destroys according to his own individual judgment. Except, he is capricious, so he will destroy even an important world without a second thought, or when he finds it bothersome, let someone else act as an agent of destruction.

The book introduced here also reveals the truth behind the world of Dragon Ball and the author's thoughts on the anime.
The episode that left the biggest impression on me in the anime was the TV special episode about Bardock
"The story that Bardock had a sad past was quite moving. That's why Bardock appears a little bit in the original work. I have a lot of background setting in my mind. In the end I didn't make much of it into a manga because it would have ended up sounding too explanatory. But because we had that kind of setup, it didn't really fall apart."

The inside story behind the production of the complete cover illustration of "Dragon Ball"
"At first, I decided to draw the main characters and Goku, but in the second half, I ended up drawing scenes that left an impression on me after reading the story. I imported the drawings I made for the first four volumes. Since then it's all Mac. When I first reread it, I had the feeling, "Oh, I wonder if I drew something like this... it's actually quite interesting."

How did you come up with your training?
"I didn't refer to anything in particular for my training. There are training scenes in films such as "Drunken Master," and I think that was probably a reference for the film. For Goku, the hardest part was probably greeting Master Roshi and studying. Personally, I'm scared of heights, so I definitely don't want to do the training that involves climbing the Karin Tower."
The story behind the birth of the Kamehameha
"When I created the Kamehameha, I thought about how I could somehow express the invisible "ki" in a way that would be suitable for a boys' manga. When no one was around, I tried out a few different designs and decided on the one that looked the coolest."
The secret of the Super Saiyan's blonde hair that makes it easy to understand how strong he has become
"The main reason was to save time because my assistant, who helps me with my work, always spends a lot of time painting Goku's hair. This killed two birds with one stone, as it also made it easier to see that Goku had become stronger."
