The popularity of the Death Note anime attracted many children who wished to have their own notebook like the one in the anime, to write down the names of people they hated. Although no real death note has been found in real life, this anime has already left its mark, as many students created their versions and named them after their classmates, which was not well received by parents and schools. Therefore, the anime was banned in China. In 2015, a case in Connecticut, United States, caught the attention of the police when a student made his own notebook and wrote down the names of all his classmates. Also, at a school in Fukushima, a teacher had to apologize for threatening to use a notebook to control student behavior.

Many manga have similar themes to Death Note. However, what makes it interesting is that the same theme had already been explored in a previous title, entitled "The Miraculous Book" or "Fushigi na Techou" in Japanese, written by Shigeru Mizuki in 1973. The protagonist is a middle-aged man age who, inexplicably, finds a notebook with names written on the pages and, mysteriously, the people whose names are written end up dying.

Light Yagami, a student from Tokyo, Japan, experienced a major change in his life when, bored, he found a supernatural notebook called "Death Note" lying on the floor.

After testing the notebook on two occasions, he confirmed that its power was real. Five days after the discovery, Ryuk, the shinigami owner of the Death Note, appeared and revealed that he had dropped the notebook on Earth out of boredom. Light then told him that his goal was to kill all criminals and become the "god of the new world", which caused a series of unexplained deaths that caught the attention of the FBI and a notorious private detective, known as "L".

The creator of the manga/anime Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, was inspired by the character Kurama Youko from Yu Yu Hakusho to create the legendary Nine-Tails Fox.

They can also take the form of a human being, usually a beautiful woman or an old woman. These foxes also have tails, which grow into a new one every thousand years. As a result, they become smarter and stronger.

Kishimoto's idea of creating a dog to be the Third Hokage was scrapped, so he decided to include other animal shinobi to fill the gap. Akamaru and Pakkun were chosen to replace the dog that would be raised by the Second Hokage. Both possessed incredible shinobi skills, and would end up serving as successors to the Second Hokag.

The Ichiraku restaurant is famous for being one of the main inspirations for the creation of manga artist Masashi Kishimoto.

Dragon Ball is one of the most popular manga and anime franchises in the world. Created by Akira Toriyama, Dragon Ball began as a manga released in 1984, and then adapted into an anime form in 1986, and has stories being told to this day.

Goku began his journey as a child with one goal: to become the strongest warrior in existence. His training and challenges faced throughout history have allowed him to become more and more powerful.

The Dragon Ball franchise has been accompanied by a variety of products, from toys to video games. Akira Toriyama's work is influenced by Chinese legends, such as the Monkey King, and the story Journey to the West.

The franchise split into several sagas, such as Z and Super, as well as the GT anime (not considered canon). Goku's journey still continues to inspire millions of people around the world. Son Goku is the Japanese version of the Chinese name Sun Wukong, which is written with the characters 悟空. The name Son Goku can be translated as "enlightened in the void" or "aware of the void".

Akira Toriyama originally planned for Vegeta to die after his clash with Goku. However, the character became so popular that the creator decided to keep him alive for future appearances, turning him into a protagonist.

Akira Toriyama decided to remove the Saiyan tails and simplify the hair strokes to save time. With that, he created the Super Saiyan form with blonde hair for easier coloring.

Ever since Gohan was introduced in Dragon Ball Z, creator Toriyama has tried to make him the protagonist. For this, he tried to kill Goku several times. However, the public never accepted that the main character was left aside and, with that, Toriyama had to find ways to bring Goku back to life.

Goku is known worldwide for his most famous move, the Kamehameha. The name means "Wrecking Wave of the Turtle", a reference to Master Roshi whose name is inspired by Japanese tortoises. The coup was also influenced by the Hawaiian King Kamehameha I, known as Kamehameha the Great. He even visited Brazil when it was an empire, in 1824.

Dragon Ball fans often make a joke about Frieza saying that he claimed he would destroy Namek in five minutes, but the battle between him and Goku lasted much longer. In fact, the fight was so intense that it lasted 4 hours and 13 minutes. If it were for the cinema, it would take two films of more than two hours to tell their story.
