Toriyama was born in the town of Kiyosu, Aichi Prefecture. He was interested in art and drawing from from a young age; in later interviews he would cite [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney]]'s ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' and Tezuka's ''Manga/AstroBoy'' as his main artistic inspirations in his youth. Due to his interest in drawing, he considered taking a graphical design education a "non-brainer" and enrolled at the Okoshi Technical High School. After graduation, at the age of 20, Toriyama decided to go into the workforce instead of pursuing a college education. He then spent three years working as a graphic designer for a advertising agency in Nagoya, but eventually decided that that a job with regular hours and a mandated dress-code wasn't for him, and eventually quit.

Looking for other ways to support himself, Toriyama, noticed that several of the manga magazines he was reading held regular submissions contests for amateur artists, and he decided to take a crack at them. One of his submissions then caught the eye of one Kazuhiko Torishima, an editor at [[Magazine/ShonenJump Weekly Shonen Jump]]. While Toriyama's first submission ultimately didn't make the cut (due to it being a ''Franchise/StarWars'' parody instead of an original work), Torishima was impressed enough by it to write him a letter of praise and encouraged him to continue to keep working at his craft and send in manga. Thus, Toriyama got his foot in the door.
Toriyama's manga career would then start off in 1978 with the one-shot story ''Wonder Island'' published by ''Magazine/ShonenJump''. What would be his BreakthroughHit, however, came in 1980, in the shape of the gag series ''Manga/DoctorSlump'', which gained large popularity in Japan. Riding on this success, in 1984, Toriyama would begin the project that he would eventually become world-famous for: ''Franchise/DragonBall''.

** Another good example is Gohan.

This lasts about 10 chapters however, as he finds Gohan doesn't feel like a natural lead for Dragon Ball (likely because he doesn't have the same fighting drive as Goku), thus Toriyama takes efforts to put Goku back in as the lead despite technically still being dead.
