I have been a fan of Dragonball Z for many years and I have always wanted my own character to be a part of the series.
What once started as simple doodles back in 1996, an idea started taking form. This idea become something greater but I wasn't ready, I lacked the necessary skills.
Later in life my best friend gave me the gift of photoshop. Doors began to open, the idea still planted, just waiting to blossom. After much practice this idea manifested itself into something far greater and finally it became a reality. Kai has been Unleashed!
There are many that have followed me over the years and have seen the progession of Kai. For those who are just getting to know my DBZ OC, it is here that his story can be told from beginning to end. [Don't worry, I have not created an ending]
This is a fan-based site dedicated to my DBZ OC and his story. This is completely UNOFFICIAL.
Dragonball Z and all things Dragonball and Dragonball Z related © Akira Toriyama
Throughout this site I have a range of ways of telling his story. Some might be straight facts, sometimes as a narrative and others may simply just be a piece of art because the story isn't available yet.
I hope one day Toriyama-sensei may stumble across this page and give me a "thumbs up"

My dearest Bestie, my Speedy, my Soulmate. If it wasn't for you re-igniting my passions and creativity, I honestly don't know where I would be. You push me to become something better, and I thank all 9 realms you're a part of my life. It's all because of you that Tsubaki evolved and became something more.
Mom, Baba & Dziadzi
I was always told to be creative and enjoy what I like to do. It doesn't matter what other people think just as long as I have fun and enjoy the adventure behind the imagination.
Akira Toriyama
Without him creating Dragonball and Dragonball Z, Kai wouldn't exist. Thank you for the many years of enjoyment!
My Best Friend Ian
For always being my partner in crime, my wingman, my Brother and bestowing me with Photoshop. I'd still be doing simple sketches if it wasn't for him. Blood brothers til the end of time.

For helping me expand my character and being there to help me when I am lost on a project or if I need a fresh pair of eyes...PLUS being able to make such an awesome story! Not to mention getting to draw your Characters Raiji and Lynn. It's been one hell of an adventure and it still continues to grow. Check out their galleries on the buttons below...AMAZING Artists each with their own unique style. They take commissions as well....you won't
be disappointed.

As many of you know, I like to do some Fan Appreciation for those who put forth tons of effort into their DBZ OC that catches my eye and deserve to have their creation[s] done as close to the show as possible... This is a multi-verse type DBZ OC.... which I tend to stay away from but if the story is solid and well written, then I'm totally all about it!! Debuting for the first time in art form...This OC belongs to the lovely and talented @emeraldsaiyan 💕 ✴Son Gokuto!!✴ [child of Gohan and Lime]
I don't do Disney Style Art often, but I'm really glad I did this time! I couldn't be more happier with how this turned out.... Her eyes are extremely captivating and I think that is what brings this piece fully together. Plus her expression....definitely shows her personality to the letter xD I'm more then likely to get hit for this 😲... But that's how we roll 😸 I'll be forever grateful for our friendship.. Wouldn't have it any other way 💞
Styled as a manga cover with her DBZ OC Gokuto and other well known canon characters in her story [Bardock and Bulla] I wanted to try something a little different. And I am VERY happy with the end result.
Finally the cover to my RolePlay Character Companion Sheet... *phew* I wanted to keep it simple yet stand out. 👍 Definitely promised I would continue to work on it...sorry it's taking forever. Sadly the easy part is done....plus with Xenoverse coming out in Feb. I will be slightly distracted...✌ What will already be included: --HIstory --Bio --Techniques --Companions/Rivals/Villains --Timeline Please Enjoy! Thank you
First I introduced Kai's one handed higher damaged blast as: Tamashī Shukketsu [魂出血] in the manga piece I did a few weeks back... [think of it as a super uber power up blast like "Cero" from Bleach..pretty sure I'm leaning to more of an indigo color for it] *drum roll* Now making it's debut for the first time is Kai's Ultimate Ki Attack Sourubān [ソウルバーン]
Here is Juliette Michele also known as Jewel Baby Cosplay or @JewelBabyxo on Instagram featured in Anime Form!! I chose to go with her Morrigan Aensland cosplay to show appreciation for her hard work and dedication... why?? ummm..have you not seen her cosplay?
Epic Mashup between my DBZ OC, Kon and Natsu/Happy
Hands down an honest to good guy...totally deserves something cool! 🙌🙌🙌 Not the best with making art look like people, but I would say this is pretty wicked cool
Please enjoy this concept depicting my character in the Xenoverse Game!! Lots of fun to do, and you'll notice some minor clothing alterations. Did it this way to keep it more true to the Game. [I was not changing the hair style though lol] Sadly, tons of detail is missed because of size restrictions -__- but u can see the TV lines to give it that "game feel" lol
HADOUKEN!!!! [波動拳] Didn't expect to get this done tonight... but I'm very glad I did!!! Hope everyone enjoys this crossover piece of Street Fighter x Dragonball Z I had a blast with special effects and still trying some blending techniques...not quite there but I spent the last 2 hours on the hadouken...so I was getting tired of it lol Kept everything street fighter true via colors...even Kai's eyes and hair are similar to Ryu's. Pretty much do that in all my crossovers.
When two worlds collide...The mystery to finding one lost to time has been found! Here we have Misaki and Kai. Somewhere in time their paths have crossed. For reasons yet to truly be revealed, but definitely an epic timeline crossover. Misaki belongs to my lovely friend @_virgy92_ tweaked her outfit slightly with a more Xenoverse look.
quick warm up of Happy...was feeling the Fairytail
To all you Fairytail Fans and crossover geeks out there.. I dedicate this piece to all of you! 👆 I think I'm finally getting the hang of this new gradient shading I've been attempting. 🙋 One thing I've noticed when drawing crossovers, I can get really motivated lol. Definitely will start color on my Naruto one tonight. Please enjoy, share if you'd like and thank you all for the amazing support, comments and likes!! You all ROCK!
What if.... there is a world where Heroes become Villains with just a snap of a finger? Somewhere, there is a Timeline with a version of Kai that gives into his anger too easily. It is here that Demigra becomes Master and corruption takes control.... Who is strong enough to battle a fully enraged Saiya-jin??
If DBZ didn't exist or if it did.. What other kind of art style would I like it to look like.. And after a couple of ideas..I decided on this concept... It doesn't resemble any anime that I can think of, so I'm definitely happy with that. Still styled with that traditional anime feel.. But kept Kai's Saiyan hair... The Kanji on his Shirt says "Dragon HighSchool"
Surprise gift for my long time friend @ruuruuchan (she finally got an ig so be sure to check her art out when she uploads some) 👍 This is her DBZ OC by the name of Lynn (drawn in my style)
This one is quite personal to me and all I will say is, I am extremely glad she is in my life...
Since we are all gearing up for 'Fukkatsu no F' tradition demands that New DBZ Art should be made in honor of the series....plus to get ready for Dragonball Chou [Super] Featured as well is Kai's Cosmic Blast [ Kozumikkuburasuto ] You only will ever see this technique in this form... definitely had a blast [pun intended] with the special effects.
Fun concept of Me and my Bestie Aleese with our kitties Bella and Amp
Stuck in a living Nightmare...where nothing makes sense and everything you've always known is twisted and perverse. The darkness is forever growing...a deadly silence, the calm before the storm, suffocating the world with quiet known only before all hell breaks loose. You must ask yourself....How far are you willing to go to survive?...If you manage the impossible..will you still be the same or will the darkness find a new vessel? It all changes here....
Something definitely needs to be done about the DreamState... he's trapped..... it's messing with his mind.. unable to focus... reality is beyond obscure... fact or fiction cannot be distinguished... it's slowly breaking his spirit..... Hell, it's killing him! Enough is enough..digging deep within his Saiyan Soul and pushed past his limits...Kai is making a Final Stand! He's bringing Hell to the DreamState...everything is going to burn...and maybe our Hero as well..
My take on a cool idea....went a little further and made a Nutrition Facts and changed the label to look more like the beans from DBZ
