Kazuo Enokimoto

Enokimoto provided background art for episode 42 of the original Dragon Ball series and created painted environments for the theatrical film Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies. The film, which adapted an original screenplay rather than manga material, required Enokimoto to design and execute unfamiliar locations beyond Toriyama's original manga, contributing to the film's distinct visual identity while maintaining consistency with the TV series aesthetic.

As a background artist for early Dragon Ball, Enokimoto was part of the foundational visual team that established the franchise's world. Background artists create the settings and environments that characters inhabit, using color, composition, and detail to establish mood and context for each scene.
