Description
Dragon Ball (ドラゴンボール) Based on the work of Akira Toriyama (鳥山明) Emperor Pilaf Hand-painted double-layered celluloid, accompanied by the original dogas used in the production of the anime Celluloid executed in ink and gouache Key frames drawn in graphite and coloured pencils Produced by Toei Animation, 1986–1989, Japan H24.2 L26.8 cm A time sheet for episode 60 is included Rare original inscription in white felt-tip pen (‘ピラフ’ – Pirafu) on the left-hand side of the cell. A tiny blue emperor, wearing a star-topped kepi and unable to keep his cool, Pilaf dreams of conquering the world with the help of the Dragon Balls. He is Goku’s first adversary, and, above all, a recurring comic relief character. His name comes from the rice dish, and the names of his henchmen, Shu and Mai, when put together, spell ‘shūmai’: Toriyama named his gang after a restaurant menu. In Dragon Ball GT, it is once again he who, through a clumsy wish, turns Goku into a child: this ridiculous villain is at the root of the entire series.
