Have we heard Toriyama's voice before?

Post by ShadowDude112 » Fri Nov 06, 2015 5:04 am

I know that sounds like a strange question, but my reasoning for asking, is because, whenever I read what a creator is saying in an interview, I read it in their voice. So if I'm reading a interview of Stan Lee, I hear what he's saying in his voice. Or if it's George Lucas, or Steven Spielberg, etc. But I don't think we've ever heard Toriyama's voice. Have we? Or am I right in assume we've never heard his voice?

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

While that vid loaded, I thought at first it was going to be a clip of the Toriyama bird in Dr. Slump or something. Then again...did that joke even make it out of the manga? And if so, did he voice himself for that? Nobuhiro Watsuki did voice himself in Buso Renkin, so it's not that out there I suppose.

More recently I believe, for either Battle of Gods or Resurrection 'F', there was an on-air interview with Toriyama where he insisted they not film his face, if I recall.

I think Toriyama himself appeared in the Dr. Slump anime, not just as the bird or Tori-bot, but also as a human. I doubt that he voiced himself though :lol:

He seems to be an incredibly private person. I don't blame him, though.

He shows up in Dr. Slump a lot so I assume he voiced himself there.

He didn't. A bunch of different voice actors (Isamu Tanonaka, Masaharu Satō, Toshio Furukawa, Hideyuki Tanaka, Naoki Tatsuta, Yūji Ueda, possibly more) played Toriyama whenever he appeared in both TV adaptions of Dr. Slump.

Didn't Furuwaka play Taro as well ?

One of the most recent occasions we've heard and seen (sort of) Toriyama was a short apperance in this Blue Dragon ad:
