Go! Go! Ackman is a multimedia franchise dating back to an 11-chapter manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama, which ran in Shueisha's V-Jump magazines from 1993 to 1994. The original manga spawned various sequels, a short animated adaptation for V-Jump Festival 1994, and several video games.

Ackman's name is technically one of several reused names across Akira Toriyama's various works...

History

Shueisha launched V-Jump as a special extra publication of Weekly Shonen Jump in 1991 with a three-issue trial run. Akira Toriyama provided three chapters (one per issue) of the original Savings Warrior Cashman for this run. Shueisha rebooted the magazine at a different print size in 1992, this time running for four issues; Toriyama once again contributed an original manga, this time the four-chapter series Dub & Peter-1.

The magazine was rebooted once again in May 1993, this time launching as an independent monthly magazine (a schedule it maintains to this day). Toriyama returned yet again, this time with Go! Go! Ackman, which ran for 11 chapters over the span of its debut issue (the July 1993 issue that May) through to the October 1994 issue (released that August), taking a five-issue break after chapter 7 before returning for chapter 8 in the July 1994 issue.

During its original serialization, a short animated adaptation of some of Go! Go! Ackman's early chapters was produced for the first V-Jump Festival in 1994...

Immediately following the completion of Toriyama's original manga, a "Cel Comic" sequel began in the November 1994 issue (released that September), running for (TBD) chapters, written by Takao Koyama and illustrated by Satoru Iriyoshi. While not actually produced by Akira Toriyama himself, he retained the "Original Work" credit (原作 gensaku) as well as the "Editorial Supervisor" (監修 kanshū) credit^{[note 1]}.

Notes

↑ This "Editorial Supervisor" (監修 kanshū) credit is generally dished out to a product Akira Toriyama either has some sort of general oversight over or occasionally even directly contributes to, but not necessarily both or even either; in many ways, it is a secondary "honorary" type credit that does not necessitate involvement. The Brief Return of Dr. Slump, a sequel manga series written by Takao Koyama and illustrated by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, gives Toriyama this same credit. Meanwhile, Naho Ooishi's three-chapter Episode of Bardock manga gives Toriyama this same credit, and we know that he did actually in fact provide several character designs for that work, including that of the main antagonist, Chilled.
