The Dragon Ball Official News page for this has been removed, but I'll update it if the article is reuploaded. Here's another news site with info and an X post with a screenshot of the original message.

Toriyama will always be near and dear to my heart. His work isn’t the most sophisticated, but it had a charm to it that only he could ever manage to create, and that resonated with millions across the globe.

Nunca te olvidaremos, Toriyama. Te mereces un respeto infinito. 🫡🇲🇽

Yeah I'm rereading Dragonball right now and it's just solid fun. No underlying message or cynical take on humanity, just silly fun.

What a way to start the day.

RIP big guy.

He was younger than I expected for one of the manga and anime old timers.
