Akira Toriyama Raises Funds for Earthquake and Tsunami Victims via YouTube


Recently, Shueisha directed visitors from its website and Shonen Jump's website to a YouTube video message from Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump creator Akira Toriyama. Shueisha will donate all advertising revenue from people watching the video to victims of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.


Shueisha later posted an English version of Toriyama's message. All the English comments made by viewers on that video will be translated into Japanese for victims of the disaster. Toriyama had previously drawn an illustrated message of support for the victims.
