'''Dragon Ball''' is a Japanese [[manga]] series of forty-two books written and illustrated by [[Akira Toriyama]]. These manga were written as a fictional story, with inspiration from the Chinese novel [[Journey to the West]] and the tenets of [[martial arts]]. Volumes of ''Dragon Ball'' were published from 1984 to 1995. The original manga series has been adapted into two separate [[Anime]] television series, ''Dragon Ball'' and ''Dragon Ball Z'' as well as numerous animated films. The original series was expanded into ''Dragon Ball GT'' by the television network, a faster paced adaption known as ''Dragon Ball Z Kai'', and a anime series expansion by Akira Toriyama called ''Dragon Ball Z Super''.
