10 Reasons Dragon Ball's Piccolo Truly Deserved The Title Of Akira Toriyama's Favorite Character
In a 1995 interview published in a guidebook to Dragon Ball called Dragon Ball Daizenshuu 2: Story Guide, Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama revealed that Piccolo is his favorite character. Above Goku, Vegeta, and even Future Trunks, Toriyama thought the son of the Demon King was the best out of everyone in the Z fighters.

He started as the reincarnation of an evil tyrant, before becoming a good friend and reliable mentor.
