The official Dragon Ball website’s fourth entry in “The Nearly Complete Works of Akira Toriyama” — an on-going series highlighting rare and important pieces of the author’s work over the years — is a citation of Akira Toriyama’s interview from the January 2014 issue of Men’s Non-No magazine (released 10 December 2013). In it, Toriyama speaks about his early days of design work, breaking in to the manga business, and his then-recent work on Jaco the Galactic Patrolman.

Men’s Non-No is a fashion and lifestyle magazine for the young single male business professional. We previously translated the entirety of this interview.
