Microsoft Releases Dynamic Xbox Background in Tribute to Akira Toriyama

Microsoft honors Akira Toriyama with a dynamic Xbox background featuring art from the cult classic JRPG Blue Dragon.
The tribute comes following the recent passing of Toriyama, renowned for his work on Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump, and video games like Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest.
Blue Dragon, released in 2006, was a collaboration between Toriyama and Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, aiming to boost Xbox's presence in Japan.
The new dynamic background showcases Blue Dragon's main character, Shu, and his shadow, the blue dragon, in a scene from the game's original box art.
Toriyama's influence on gaming and manga is celebrated, with his contributions to iconic series and his final manga drawing of Piccolo waving goodbye noted.
