Roughly every month, Toyotarō provides a drawing of a Dragon Ball (or related…!) character — as well as an accompanying comment — on the official Japanese Dragon Ball website. Following up on the wealth of characters already drawn, for his January 2026 entry, Toyotarō has drawn Commander Red:

COMMANDER RED
(Red Ribon)

It seems that Commander Red’s full name is “Red Ribon,” pronounced Rhy-Bon. But since people often mispronounced it as “Red Ribbon,” he decided to call his military force the “Red Ribbon Army.” This was something that Toriyama-sensei told me during the serialization of the Super Hero arc in the manga.

This drawing and comment set has been added to the respective page in our “Translations” archive.
