Tokyo: A theme park based on Japan's "Dragon Ball" manga franchise will be built in Saudi Arabia's new high-end tourist attraction of Qiddiya just outside Riyadh, authorities said Friday.
The announcement comes two weeks after fans of the massively popular and influential series were shocked by news of the death of its creator Akira Toriyama, aged 68.
The 500,000-square-metre (125-acre) park will allow fans to "live the adventures at the heart of the action, experiencing the journey from the first Dragon Ball series to the latest Dragon Ball Super", according to a press release by the Qiddiya Investment Company.
First serialised in 1984, "Dragon Ball" is one of the best-selling manga franchises of all time and has spawned countless anime series, films and video games.
Toriyama's death this month from a blood clot on the brain sparked an outpouring of grief from around the world, including tributes from French President Emmanuel Macron and Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin.
