Toshio Yoshitaka

Toshio Yoshitaka penned a significant portion of Dragon Ball Super's 131-episode run, writing episodes 3, 7, 8, 9, 20, 24, 25, 37, 38, 42, 53, 57, 63, 70, 71, 72, 82, 86, 87, 88, 91, 94, 99, 104, 107, 112, 115, and 121. His scripting stretched across multiple saga arcs including the Tournament of Power. Yoshitaka grew up watching the original series and admitted publicly that Yamcha was his favorite character, expressing a desire to write episodes that would properly showcase the desert bandit's potential.

Yoshitaka became distinctive among anime writers for his willingness to tweet about his work during Super's broadcast run, occasionally offering mild spoilers about forthcoming episodes. While he had planned an episode featuring Yamcha and Chiaotzu defending Earth during the Universe Survival Saga in May 2017, this project never came to fruition. His transparent engagement with the fandom offered rare behind-the-scenes insight into the creative process.
