==Early life and work== Toyotarou first came across Akira Toriyama's work in grade school with Dr. Slump, then the Dragon Ball anime, and finally the Dragon Ball manga. With his school notebooks covered in its characters, he was already making up story arcs for Dragon Ball chapters in his head. To this day he has never drawn any original work of his own, it has all been Dragon Ball-related. Previously a television director, Toyotarou never desired to be a career manga artist. "I figured it would be impossible to do it officially, so I resigned myself to doing it as a hobby." In 2012, he brought artwork to Shueisha, and six months later he debuted with the first two-page chapter of Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission.
