Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama has officially been knighted!
While the very private Toriyama was not in attendance himself, his publisher Akio Iyoku was present to accept the medal.
The French government awarded the legendary manga author with the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) decoration at a ceremony that was held at Japan’s French Embassy on May 30.
