Both my art style and my comics have been strongly influenced by <i>Dr. Slump</i>, and I just love the sense of traveling through bucolic scenery in early <i>Dragon Ball</i>. I especially like the character Bulma, and I still recall the feeling of excitement as they set off on their journey, riding together on one motorbike. Goku, Bulma, a dragon, and travel! I love the illustration from Volume 9. To think the day would come when I’d be able to take part in a project like this… I want to go back and tell my school-age self, buying color inks and imitating Toriyama-sensei‘s illustrations. Congratulations on 40 years of <i>Dragon Ball</i>!
