Silent mechanical genius Akira Toriyama, Creator of the Dragon Balls
Akira Toriyama worthy credit as a gear head, one with perfect style in which. Legendary manga artist and character designer most likely famous for creating Dragon ball And design Chrono Activatorbut Toriyama should be praised for his imaginative mechanical designs like his alien warriors, Saiyansand cursed knights are frogs.
