While Toriyama would later become more widely known with the success of Dragon Ball Z in North America, when Dragon Quest was released he was an unknown outside Japan. While the Dragon Quest hero was drawn in a super deformed manga style, the Dragon Warrior localization had him drawn in the "West's template of a medieval hero". [133] The trend continued through the first four games, although the artwork for weapons and armor began using more of Toriyama's original artwork for Dragon WarriorIII and IV. However, while the booklets' artwork was altered, the setting and poses remained virtually identical. [133]
