Akira Toriyama is dead at 68!! The post can be found here.

Akira Toriyama, the creator of the best-selling Dragon Ball and other popular anime who influenced Japanese comics, has died, his studio said Friday. He was 68.

Toriyama’s Dragon Ball manga series, which started in 1984, has sold millions of copies globally and was adapted into hugely popular animated TV shows, video games and films.

Toriyama died March 1 of a blood clot in his brain, Bird Studio said in a statement.

“He was working enthusiastically on many projects, and there was still much he was looking forward to accomplishing,” the studio wrote.

I cried when he died, he was apart of all our childhoods, he made being a teen fun even when things got dark. We all could look up to Goku and looked for strength when the chips were down, or when kids bullied us. We all aspired to be like a super hero like Goku, or the troubled anti-hero like Vegeta. R.I.P Akira we are all gonna miss you, your series will live on and we will NEVER forget you!!
