While the Dragon Ball manga was created by Akira Toriyama, it wasn't just his hand that shaped one of the foremost Shōnen manga series of all time. His editors would on occasion steer the story in a direction of their liking and horas him to get his chapter manuscripts submitted on time. It is rumored that in return, Toriyama would often incorporated his editors into Dragon Ball as villains — Torishima was rumored to be the basis for Piccolo Daimaō, while Kondō was rumored to be the basis for Freeza, and Takeda the basis for Majin Buu.
