Toriyama contributed art and character designs to the Xbox exclusive RPG back in the day
Earlier this month, the world learned of the passing of legendary mangaka Akira Toriyama, the creator behind Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump, and Sand Land. In the world of games, he is best known as the prolific artist behind games like Chrono Trigger and the Dragon Quest series, as well as the Xbox-exclusive RPG Blue Dragon. In recognition of the latter and of Toriyama himself, Microsoft has released a dynamic Xbox background of Blue Dragon featuring the late artist’s work.
It’s a simple and elegant tribute to the legend, and represents one of the last huge undertakings he took in the games industry before his passing earlier this year. I won’t lie, I teared up a little. It’s been wonderful realizing what a profound impact Toriyama has had on the world around me, and seeing his work be celebrated in the days after the news broke lifted my spirits tremendously.
