"Dragon Ball" (often abbreviated as DB) is a Japanese manga series created and illustrated by famed manga artist Akira Toriyama (Bird Studio). The series was originally a gag manga (comic) that evolved into a martial arts action manga. It is comprised of a total of 520 individual chapters, including one side-story, and began its run on 20 November 1984 in Weekly Shōnen Jump, a popular manga anthology magazine published by Shueisha in Japan. The series was serialized from 1984 to 1995, remaining a staple in Japan for nearly ten and a half years.
Each week a new chapter would be published in Weekly Shōnen Jump with approximately 14 pages per chapter. Since its serialization, these weekly manga chapters have been compiled into 42 tankōbon volumes and 34 kanzenban volumes. The manga series was adapted by Toei Animation into two animated television series: Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. The TV series were sequentially broadcast in Japan on Fuji TV from 1986 to 1996.
