Toyotarō

Style Toyotarou is a self-taught artist, having never formally studied manga. When asked what his favorite manga is other than Dragon Ball, he answered with Toriyama's Soldier of Savings Cashman or Nobuhiro Watsuki's Rurouni Kenshin. He is more inspired by film than manga, particularly those made by Disney, Marvel, and Pixar.

Toriyama said that of everyone who works on the Dragon Ball franchise, Toyotarou's artwork is the closest to his own. Amy McNulty of Anime News Network concurred, calling Toyotarou's art "virtually indistinguishable" from Toriyama's. Toyotarou himself said he is confident in reproducing Toriyama's characters and their subtleties, but needs to practice on robots and mecha.
