Who designed Gogeta?

[sintzu]

Was it Toriyama ? I found a picture drawn by him and was wondering if he designed him like the other movies' characters (Broly/Slug/Bojack/etc.).

This is the picture:

I read that he was in 1 comment [where?], but I want more opinions on it.

Yamamuro Tadayoshi was character designer and animation supervisor for the twelfth movie.

And as a follow-up, that image was done way after the movie was released. Just like with the SS4 Goku drawing Toriyama did for Dragon Box GT, he drew an image of Gogeta for Dragon Box Za Movies.

The final design of Janemba was from Toriyama so he did have a hand in the movie.

Yes, but it doesn't mention that he did anything else, and that's something I doubt they would neglect to mention. I don't have the Dragon Box for the movies, though; the "Design Lab" section in the accompanying Dragon Book would probably answer that question conclusively.

Wow, didn't know Toriyama ever drew Gogeta! And I see a very skinny SS Goku. Again.

If we're to trust Toriyama's Contributions to the Anime @ Kanzenshuu, Toriyama only approved Yamamuro's design of 2nd form Janenba.

There's so much I wanted to contribute to this discussion, but I'm a little busy this morning. So, in turn, I'll just leave this here.

ジャネンバ
変身前は憎めない奴、変身後は悪魔っぽい奴…とイメージして作りました。特に変身後のジャネンバは鳥山先生にもご好評いただき、個人的にもとても気に入っているキャラです。足の模様は、最初ツタが絡まる螺旋状のものを作っていたのですが、鳥山先生のアレンジが加わってこの形になりました。（山室直義）

Also, Yamamuro did discuss Janenba in his "Golden Warrior" interview.

Often the pattern was that we’d have [Toriyama] sensei look at the rough designs we had drawn and add corrections. For instance, with the transformed Janenba (note: the enemy character from "The Rebirth of Fusion!! Goku and Vegeta"), the order from the anime staff was for a "demonic-looking character", so I drew a rough design with spiral shapes entwined around his arms and legs, which I showed to sensei. He checked it and sent it back, and that became the real design for transformed Janenba. So the faint blood vessel-like things on his arms and legs are remnants of the rough draft.

Thanks for the quote, but I couldn't find a good translation for it. So does anyone here know good Japanese ?

Nope, sorry. Not here on Kanzenshuu.

I'll get to it in the morning.

Just so you know, there's "Shift" button on your keyboard, right? Proper nouns and proper adjectives are always capitalized. There's a reason why moderators corrected your posts with red font color.

Anyway, I've known for a while that Yamamuro designed Janemba. Not sure about Gogeta, though. It's probably Yamamuro again since he's a chief designer for the remainder of DBZ after Maeda left.

Edit: D'oh. I never looked at the link sintzu posted. It's definitely from Toriyama.

Does it really matter who designed him? He's just adult Gotenks with one bang.

Ah I see you've found my picture did you find it on reddit? That's where I posted it.

Yeah, I think so.
