Toriyama IS King Kai. Here's Why.

We believe that King Kai, the OG Kai of DBZ, might have been the REAL mascot for Akira Toriyama and NOT Tori Bot. Let's talk about the teacher of the Kaioken and the Genki Dama and understand WHY he might be very much a self-insert character for the maker of Dragonball in this crazy fan theory.

Today, we are going to talk about a Divine being with the longest running inclusion of the show...for once, we're not talking about Shin or Supreme Kais (at the forefront, although he does crop up every now and again)...and yet we're looking above the likes of our Earth guardian...even though he is technically god also...it's quite screwy, the way all of this works when you think about it. While Kami was our original look into the crazy world of Dragon Ball gods and divine beings, the one that is more-or-less active to this day constantly is the one, the only...King Kai. After all, he carried a lot of import in the story, all the way through to the end of the Cell Saga; when we got...this cool dude, maaaaan. (Yeah he's technically filler, but he's so chill I can let it slide).

King Kai's look was something that Toriyama didn't take all that long to pencil. What you see here are some of the initial concept art for King Kai; taken from the pages of Daizenshuu 4, the sacred texts of the Dragon Ball fandom. As you can see, Toriyama from the very beginning had this particular, round silhouette in mind, but has since added his cricket-like features. And yes, he DOES have wings...he just doesn't have much need for them on a planet where you got everythig you want...and also he TECHNICALLY he has Instant Transmission too, but then again, that's also filler...but hey, in the anime, he has it, so wings aren't exactly vital for him. Oh yes, he has a car too.
