Japanese manga artist selected by Shueisha for creating Dragon Ball fan works, tasked with the official manga spinoff That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha.
Dragon Garow Lee is the author of Dragon Ball: That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha, an official Shueisha publication that reimagines Dragon Ball through the perspective of the franchise's most resilient underdog. His selection for the project came directly from Shueisha's Dragon Ball Room division, which recognized his status as one of the most prominent Yamcha fans in the doujinshi community, both in Japan and internationally.
Born in Osaka, Japan, Lee spent years building his reputation as a doujinshi artist, creating fan-made works centered on Dragon Ball and Yamcha. His passion for the character and skill as a visual storyteller earned him recognition across Japanese fan communities and internationally through online platforms. His transition from doujinshi creator to official manga artist represents the growing intersection between fan creators and corporate licensing in manga, validating years of dedicated fan work.
