I am but still have no idea who the man pictured above is. Is everyone 18 and older supposed to know this guy? Is he like some sort of A-list American? If not, don't expect me to know him.

So he created Dragon Ball Z? So what? I never liked that.

wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Toriyama
He earned the 1981 Shogakukan Manga Award for best shōnen manga with Dr. Slump, and it went on to sell over 35 million copies in Japan. It was adapted into a successful anime series, with a second anime created in 1997, 13 years after the manga ended. His next series, Dragon Ball, would become one of the most popular and successful manga in the world. Having sold 260 million copies worldwide,[1][a][c] it is one of the best-selling manga series of all time and is considered to be one of the main reasons for the period when manga circulation was at its highest in the mid-1980s and mid-1990s. Overseas, Dragon Ball's anime adaptations have been more successful than the manga and are credited with boosting anime's popularity in the Western world. In 2019, Toriyama was decorated a Chevalier of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contributions to the arts.
He was a well-known recluse, who avoided appearing in public or media - Married with two children -
had a love of cars and motorcycles, - was an animal lover, having kept many different species of birds, dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and bugs as pets since childhood. - Some were used as models for characters he created such as Karin and Beerus.

Yes, he can and already did. All you can do is accept that he's already started deteriorating.
