Dragon Ball Myth or truth?

[AizenYTBR]

There are some stories about Dragon Ball and Akira Toriyama that have always impressed me a lot, but I saw them when I was a child and never found out if they were true or if it was just a blatant lie, you who research a lot more about the franchise will definitely be able to help me to unravel these stories...they are:

1-Akira Toriyama made so much money with Dragon Ball that he had to start saving money in the fridge
2-There is a road that connects Toriyama's house to Tokyo, and it was created to facilitate your travels.
3-Akira Toriyama has a son named Sasuke
4-Akira never used the term "canon" in interviews

Do you know any more myths about Dragon Ball that someone can help you demystify?

4-Akira never used the term "canon" in interviews

This is obviously true. But we still have to endure countless "this is canon", "that's not canon" (all based solely on opinions) and people wasting their time discussing something that was never established in the first place and that is so pointless.

I think I've seen someone (maybe Herms?) saying the Japanese vocabulary doesn't even have the word "canon", but don't quote me on that.

1. Stupid place to keep it I'm sure he uses a bank because he's not a retard.
2. He's wealthy and somewhat famous but he's not getting infrastructure projects just for him.
3. He stopped having kids before Naruto came out. Unless that was already a name.
4. I'd bet money he's never said the actual word. He has talked about stuff being non canon like GT.

I’ve heard of Japanese people keeping their savings under their beds, but in the fridge? Not sure if Toriyama is that eccentric...

Also, he does have a son named Sasuke, but he was born 10 years before Naruto began.

[MyVisionity]

Lots of people hide money in the fridge or the freezer.

Unless that was already a name.

Was definitely already a name. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarutobi_Sasuke

3. He stopped having kids before Naruto came out.

Naruto didn’t invent that name. What a bizarre assumption to make.

[Saiya6Cit]

Number 3 is true. And I believe he has a daughter as well.

I don't know about the others and have not heared about them either.

But check this one out: In mexico they would say Akira Toriyama converted to cristianism and he regreted ever creating dragon ball..

mmm... it is very possible he ended up hating DB at some point (kinda like a father-son relationship) but because of religious purposes, I don't buy it.

Bottom line Toriyama has been so hermetic with his private life that it makes sense we are here talking about its rumors...

WHAT? lol I always thought the usual was under the matress

I am certain that he confirmed he was irreligious.
And besides, you think a Christian-minded person would write such sexually immoral and polytheistic elements for their story? Shoot, he is STILL writing stories for it, so how could he regret it?!
I swear...

Naruto didn’t invent that name. What a bizarre assumption to make.

I literally followed it up with a "but it could have already been a name" don't qoute mine me. I never heard it before Narouto, Don't even read Narouto but picked the names up from cultural osmosis. I live in portgual I dont know every japanese name and its invention date because I'm not a massive weeb.

yeah the fridge is silly robbers will eventually raid your fridge for a drink when they get tired looking everywhere else haha
I like in a ziplock in the cistern of a toilet.

[Koitsukai]

I've heard about corpses and human parts stored in fridges, but never money.

Seriously? In Brazil this myth is quite popular, there are articles (without a source obviously) that even talk about it (and about the road that connects your house to Tokyo)

[AizenYTBR]

For those interested, I was wrong with the legend, in fact, the story said that there is a road that connects Toriyama's house to Nagoya airport, to facilitate your travels to TOKYO.

These stories often appear on youtube channels, brazilian facebook pages and etc, but apparently, it all started with this site here:
