>Yuji Horii (Dragon Quest game designer):I am still in a state of disbelief at the very sudden news of Toriyama's passing.
I have known Mr. Toriyama since I was a writer for Shonen Jump, and at the recommendation of my editor, Mr. Torishima, I decided to ask him to draw pictures for the game when we launched Dragon Quest.
In the more than 37 years since then, he has designed the characters, designed the monsters, and drawn so many fascinating characters that I can't even begin to count them.
The history of Dragon Quest has been with Mr. Toriyama's character designs.
Mr. Toriyama and the late Mr. Sugiyama were longtime friends of mine who worked on Dragon Quest.
I can't believe he is gone....
I don't know what to say anymore. I am so, so, so sorry.
