			Between the ''[[Dragon Boy]]'' and ''[[The Adventure of Tongpoo]]'' prototype publications in 1983 and ''Dragon Ball'''s first publication in November 1984, [[Akira Toriyama]] developed drafts of the ''Dragon Ball'' stories with his editor [[Kazuhiko Torishima]]. The early drafts elaborated on the original ''Dragon Boy'' concept, incorporating elements from ''Journey to the West''.<ref name="birdlandpress15"></ref><ref>{{Cite web\|URL=https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2016/10/15/kazuhiko-torishima-on-shaping-the-success-of-dragon-ball-and-the-origins-of-dragon-quest/\|Website=Forbes\|Title="Kazuhiko Torishima On Shaping The Success Of 'Dragon Ball' And The Origins Of 'Dragon Quest'"\|Date=15 October 2016\|AccessDate=02 October 2020}}</ref> Having decided on a young female companion (no doubt shaped by both ''Dragon Boy'' and specifically ''The Adventure of Tongpoo''), a western-style girl took the role of Tripitaka. Toriyama's design of Son Goku was literally that of the Monkey King himself, complete with the head decoration and staff. Zhu Bajie came over mostly intact as well, complete with his trademark rake.<ref name="jttwdbdesigns"></ref> In these early stages, it was indeed still a somewhat-faithful adaptation of ''Journey to the West'', and was in fact rejected for being so faithful.<ref>{{Cite guidebook\|Title="TBD"\|Book=1\|Page=p. TBD}}</ref> At this point, no Sha Wujing equivalent is included in Toriyama's cast of characters.

			In Toriyama's third pass — which moved through both pilot and final manuscripts — story details began to take form, as well as the names for other supporting characters. At this point, Yamcha is named ヤム·チャ (''Yamucha'', which would perhaps be transliterated and spelled as "Yam Cha" interpreting the interpunct as a space); the interpunct here in Oolong's, Pu'er's, and Yamcha's names would be removed for the final version. In terms of designs in this manuscript, Yamcha and the others look very close to their final versions.<ref name="jttwdbdesigns"></ref>

			===''Dragon Ball''===

			Yamcha was retained into the final version of the manga and made his first appearance in [[Dragon Ball Chapter 7\|the series' seventh chapter]]. While ''Dragon Ball'''s Oolong is similar to the original Zhu Bajie in many ways, Yamcha's relation to Sha Wujing is much lighter.

			* In ''Journey to the West'', Tripitaka first recruits Wukong, then Bajie, then Wujing; this is the same order in which Bulma encounters Goku, then Oolong, then Yamcha.
			* As opposed to Wujing's "priestly staff", Yamcha initially fights with a scimitar.
			* The desert area where Yamcha is first encountered is likely a reference to the "Flowing Sand Region" in ''Journey to the West''.
