The video was released back in 2016 as part of Shueisha’s Jump Ryu manga artist collection focused on Toriyama.
According to Kanzenshuu, the video was filmed back in June 1995 at the Nagoya Civic Art Galery in Aichi Prefecture during the Akira Toriyama World exhibit. While it is has been sped up to be only 2 minutes and 13 seconds long, the original video was 16 minutes and 14 seconds long.
The original video also featured Toriyama’s first editor Kazuhiko Torishima “asking Toriyama questions, and laughing at the horrendous condition of his pen holder, while he draws.”
A print of the drawing also came as part of the Jump Ryū collection.
