Paradise Papers Reveal Dragon Ball Creator Akira
Toriyama's Offshore Investment:
"As part of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists' (ICIJ) investigation
into the Paradise Papers, the organization found information last week on Dragon Ball
manga creator Akira Toriyama's offshore investments.
The Japanese news agency Kyodo reported on November 5 that Toriyama was one of 12
Japanese people who invested in a U.S. real estate company in 2000. The company's
accounting methods "were later found to be noncompliant with federal regulations."
According to Asahi Shimbun's report based on litigation documents, the company used
loans and capital to purchase used apartments. Investors then declared a smaller
income by adding the property depreciation deficits and other deficits together with the
main company's profits. Kyodo reported that in 2005, tax authorities informed the
investors that they would need to pay additional taxes."
