Thank you, Akira Toriyama!

DB Z (and GitS) introduced me into Anime genre. I was so close to visiting Japan one point myself. I had experience with modeling and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit the place that inspired artists like Toriyama San. Amazing video and channel!

Thank you for sharing this story with me and for taking the time to watch the tribute video. Maybe you'll make it to Japan one day!

Akira Toriyama will forever be remembered

[@vascotoys]

Yes he will!

[@brennanbarnes7628]

You're definitely not alone either @Vasco Toys and your vids have helped inspire my own crafting creativity so you're passing that passion on much like Toriyama did for you. All the best!

[@vascotoys]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words. Inspiring others is truly the purpose of art. He definitley did that for me and so many millions. Honored to hear that I inspired you through my art.

Akira sensei did changed many people's childhood with his Dragon Ball. I started to watch Dragon Ball at the age of 7 and now I'm 41 still watching Dragon Ball. Everyone misses him and love him alot.
