Dragon Ball



Dragon Ball is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. 


If you collect all seven dragon balls around the world, a dragon "Shenron" will show up from the balls. And then Shenron will ask you, "I will grant your one wish." The main character "Goku (Son Goku)" had No.4 dragon balls as a keepsake from his grandpa. A teenage girl named Bulma find it on her dragon ball radar and she meets Goku. Dragon Ball is a feature-length cartoon drawn "friendship", "adventure", "effort" and "battle".

It was originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1984 to 1995, with the 519 individual chapters published into 42 tankobon volumes by Shueisha. TV animation aired on Fuji TV. A live-action film was made in Hollywood and theater version animated cartoon was made in Japan. Such as game software and related goods have a large number of produced even after the end of series .


Weekly Shonen Jump recorded and sold 653 million copies in 1995 because of the popular cartoon series such as "Dragon Ball". The number of copies printed of Dragon Ball was more than 150 million in Japan and more than 230 million at the worldwide.


There is a very interesting item in the story. That is "Hoi poi capsule". Bulma's Dad is making this item at his own company. There is a button top of the capsule, press the button and throw it to somewhere in a large space. After a few seconds, the stuff in the capsule materialize. The capsule can hold various things like airplane, car, robot and house even some water. I wanted to have it so much. Especially, I wanted the capsule which can hold a house and live in the house.



The various items that come out in the story are very attractive. "Scouter" that can measure the combat capability of the person. "Kintoun" that it looks like a cloud and Goku can ride on it to fly. "Artificial gravity device" that was used as a combat training machine. The story is very fun but you can see such interesting items in the story. That is why "Dragon Ball" was a big hit. You should read this "Dragon Ball"!


Thank you so much!
