Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

I don't think he had any involvement whatsoever. There was no new story or character designs, so he wouldn't have been necessary for anything.

Yeah, I don't remember anything being said on the matter, but I'd be willing to bet the most he did was give his signature to okay the project.

Yeah I think some us Kai fans in general would like to say he had some involvement but...yeah. DevilsCorpse pretty much nailed it I assume.

I hear that he design the logo for Kai but I'm not sure if that is true or not?

I've not seen any proof of Toriyama actually being involved with Dragon Ball Kai, just internet information, no videos as evidence of Mr. Toriyama about Kai.

Perhaps Toei Animation decided to use "Akira Toriyama / involved / true vision / manga" and whatever to make fans feel better about this 'newer' DBZ anime-manga version.
