History Creator / Toyotaro

Toyotarō (とよたろう) is an artist working at Shueshia, responsible for being the artist behind the ''Manga/DragonBallSuper'' manga, alongside other projects.

Toyotarō started out as a {{doujinshi}} artist under the name of Toyble, as he was responsible for the ''Webcomic/{{Dragon Ball AF|Toyble}}'' fan comic before being hired by Shueshia to work on the manga adaptation of ''VideoGame/DragonBallHeroes''. He later worked on the manga adaptation of ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', even helping Creator/AkiraToriyama design characters like the Gods of Destruction.

** However, Toyotaro was caught in a controversy when users online discovered the collaborative cover he did for V-Jump was traced from a ComicBook/CaptainAmerica illustration by Dexter Soy, from ''Captain Marvel: First Flight''. [[https://sojapan.jp/2018/06/dragon-ball-super-artist-accused-of-tracing-over-captain-america-comic/ Rather than pursuing legal action]], Dexter Soy would find himself confused over why Toyotaro would trace from his work. Neither Toyotaro nor Shueshia have ever given a comment regarding this situation.

** Toyotaro is known for being a fan of ''Dragon Ball'', to the point where he takes inspiration from the multiple works in the franchise for his own work. In the ''Manga/DragonBallSuper'' series, [[[[https://imgur.com/gallery/VYjWfRQ he has been caught drawing multiple panels inspired by the work of Akira Toriyama]] and affiliated. Some of these panels, however, cannot be interpreted as a HomageShot:

** Reaction panels.

!! Works done by Toyotaro

!!! As Toyotaro
* ''Videogame/DragonBallHeroes'' (the manga adaptation)

!! Tropes associated with Toyotaro:
* AuthorAppeal: Toyotaro appears to be a fan of underdog characters, characters who are largely outclassed but still do their best to fight a much stronger opponent.

* HomageShot: A trait of him. Toyotaro will draw panels while making clear references to the work of both ''Creator/AkiraToriyama'' and ''Creator/ToeiAnimation'' countless animators. [[https://imgur.com/gallery/VYjWfRQ A compilation here.]]
* InfoDump: He will stop the fights to explain what is happening quite frequently, and will offer explanations to unexplained things in the anime, while also giving more background to certain characters (For example, Zamasu's past as a North Kai or Jiren's master name). This is a divisive thing for the community. For one, he will give more information about characters for the benefit of WorldBuilding, but on the other hand, it will disrupt the pacing [[ShowDontTell and tell rather than show.]]
* SelfPlagiarism: In the ''Super'' manga, Toyotaro has drawn panels based on his fan work of ''Webcomic/{{Dragon Ball AF|Toyble}}''. [[https://imgur.com/gallery/gLEANI8 As seen here.]]
