Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball, left this world and left a valuable legacy that has marked many generations of people. His fans believe that there should be a place that pays a well-deserved tribute to the creative and all of his work. For this reason, many have requested the construction of a museum in memory of the mangaka.
To the surprise of his followers, some Japanese authorities are enthusiastic about the idea of creating an Akira Toriyama museum in Aichi, the prefecture where the talented cartoonist was born. Hideaki Omura, governor of the place, publicly supported the fans' proposal.
Akira Toriyama could have a museum in Japan
According to The Mainichi newspaper, Hideaki Omura stated this week that he "completely agrees" with fans who want a museum honoring Toriyama's life and work. Thus, the doors are open for its construction in Aichi.
"Personally, I completely agree with the fans and I want to see a facility like this built here. I haven't heard anyone specifically talk about it yet, but if things move forward, I would like to have hope (that they move forward)," said the leader.
Of course, his comment excited fans of the mangaka and Dragon Ball, who believe that having a place dedicated entirely to the creative would be great for everyone. Many would see it as a meeting point to share his passion for his work.
Takashi Matsuyama, Toriyama's former assistant, was also enthusiastic about the idea. "As a fan, I definitely want an Akira Toriyama Museum (in Japan). Fans around the world also think the same," said the artist.
Fans proposed that Shueisha, the publisher of Toriyama's manga, cooperate with Aichi Prefecture to make the project a reality. Unfortunately, an unnamed member of the government's arts and culture division made it clear that there is nothing concrete about this for now.
"I want a place where I can go meet all the characters and go back to my childhood, even if it's for a short time," said a fan excited by the idea of a museum in honor of Akira Toriyama.
