Not true, Lost Canvas ended last year, but gaidens expanding stories of gold saints are still running in magazine and these probably won't be part of the main anime story.

We have seen plenty, actually.
What I meant was in manga or anime format. I knew about Dragon Ball Online already. And also doujinshi and fan created stuff doesn't count.

It has been a while since I last read Lost Canvas. Thanks, it is probably a good time for me to start reading again.

Dragon Ball Heroes is an official Japanese arcade video game. It's not fan made.

Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

That's true, I wonder how a SSJ girl made by Toriyama will like..... Because his designs were original, as he introduced something new, but TOEI and SHUEISHA are not very inventive when it comes to new designs. It's like mash-up of Toriyama's already presented idea. Like SSJ3 Vegeta and Brolli. They are the same with pasted Goku's SSJ3 hair, only that Vegeta don't have it's bang.
We can't possibly know if Toriyama won't do Vegeta as SSJ3 little different.

To be fair, the SSJ3 hair styles are not exactly the same. Just compare them:
Goku
Gotenks
Broli
Vegeta
Future Trunks
Trunks

I should have explained it better. I wasn't referring to Dragon Ball Heroes as fan made. I was referring to fan made manga that had female Super Saiyans. Please don't rush off to judgment before understanding what another person meant.

For all we know, we've already seen a Toriyama female Super Saiyan. The man was not only approving the designs of those developing Dragon Ball Online, but was also contributing his own designs for years before the game was even announced to us. While we may never know for certain, it is very possible some, or all, the female Super Saiyans in the game were designed by Toriyama himself.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)
