Is this supposed to be a gag by Toriyama?

It's just a bald guy. No mustache, no tail either.

Toriyama reuses character designs often. Look at Dr. Gero and Kibito, for example.

Reminds me of the mini Keanu Reeves meme.
Big fan of the characters of Dragon Ball, all of them, especially formerly prominent sub-characters. -__-

Looks kind of like Onio (from Neko Majin Z) too, but again that'd be a case of Toriyama reusing designs.
