Introduction

The volume's introduction from author Akira Toriyama, as printed on the front flap of the dust cover:

This is our family cat, "Koge". You probably can't tell what's what since she's jet-black, but anyway, it's Koge. We took her in one night three years ago as a kitten, and she's really nice and friendly. When she gave birth (since she's female), we were really, really worried, and we made a huge fuss. She gave birth without incident to four healthy little ones. We were just so glad. By the way, the one who named her "Koge" was my wife.

— Akira Toriyama

Q&A Session

This volume contains a short, two-page Q&A session with author Akira Toriyama entitled, "Toriyama-san's Dragon Ball Ask-Me-Anything Corner", where he answered questions sent in by readers. Anyone was able to send in a postcard to the address listed in the book, and individuals whose submissions ran in a subsequent volume were promised a signed illustration from Toriyama himself. This solicitation remained in place in all printings through mid-1995 (the end of the series' run in Weekly Shōnen Jump), after which it was removed.
