"Dragon Ball" creator and manga author Akira Toriyama has passed away

68 was still young as far as getting more work done. Akira requested to not receive funeral tributes outside of his immediate family – a legendary mangaka that never sought the spotlight.

Thank you Toriyama-san. I mentally go Super Saiyan and put on DB music when I need courage.
