Toriyama's original title page for Mamejirō-kun in WSJ, No. 38 (1988/08/12)
This is the story of a boy who is determined to become a delinquent after being deprived of his precious ice cream. This short story actually came about after scrapping a sequel draft for Kennosuke-sama.
The "Hoyoyo Card Special No. 6" appendix featured within WSJ, No. 45 (1980/10/06)
Peasuke & Arale represent the Six with their jetpacks! Looks like Arale is also going with twintails on this fine, smilin', sky day~
Cover Illustration for volume 4 of Dragon Ball's "Kanzenban" release (2002/12/28)
Jackie Chun exudes strength via posturing & a fierce expression; Goku "borrows" an airplane from Red Ribbon to search for Dragon Balls. There's more than one way to be strong, eh?
Back Cover Illustration for volume 3 of Dr. Slump's "Kanzenban" release (2006/11/02)
Another one of Toriyama's favorites, Parzan, takes the backstage. He's a pretty macho, dumb guy. Oh whoops, I meant to say moronic*. The animals he "rules" over are smarter than him.
Toriyama's especially charming cover for WSJ No. 7 (1985/01/12)
Bulma attempts to make her Last Escape, Son Goku excitedly readies his tonfa, & (a version of) Shen Long makes its full color appearance! Toriyama wants you to notice his sweet pitch so please do so & purchase.
Toriyama's Monster Design of Meda for "Dragon Quest" (1986/05/27)
It's visually similar to those classic, strange aliens, characterized by its large pupil and larger tentacles. But even fearing its weird unknowns can be charming to you in its own way, yeah?
Toriyama's Character Design of Hero in Dragon Quest 11 (2017/07/29) — It's its 3rd anniversary
Toriyama gets the feeling that he made this Hero design way too forthright & plain. He's doubly restricted since the player's insert can't be too flashy in appearance. Would you agree?
Cover Illustration of Dragon Ball's 11th volume (1988/02/10)
Give it up for Oolong, who managed to appear prominently in spite of his current in-story scarcity. Use that riding mech for the assault well, dude.
Gonna start calling this the "Warrior with a Powerful Tattoo" archetype now that I noticed it.
Toriyama's Package Illustration for Torneko's Great Adventure: Mystery Dungeon (1993/09/19) — His cover is more comic page-like than usual for this fan favorite series, isn't it?
The merchant lead for this dungeon crawler, the titular Torneko, made his debut in Dragon Quest 4.
