The real person who named Kamehameha is not Akira Toriyama?

The iconic anime franchise Dragon Ball remains deeply influential decades after its creation by manga artist Akira Toriyama.

However, what many fans likely do not know is that one of Dragon Ball’s most recognizable tropes – the “Kamehameha” energy attack – was actually coined not by Toriyama but by his wife, Nachi Mikami.

This creative borrowing exemplifies Toriyama’s broader tendency to draw inspiration from those around him when naming key elements of the Dragon Ball universe.

For instance, many of the series’ characters are named after vegetables and food items, like the powerful Saiyan prince Vegeta and Goku’s birth name, Kakarot.

Even today, these clever and quirky naming choices contribute greatly to Dragon Ball’s lasting appeal. The very mention of attacks like the Kamehameha wave immediately evokes recognition across generations of fans.

The Future of Dragon Balls: A Post Toriyama World

But what happens to Dragon Ball now? Here's a look at the possibilities: Continuation with Established Guidelines: The most likely scenario involves continuing the series based on existing concepts and notes left behind by Toriyama.
