A Man Earns $100,000 By Selling Fake Autographs of Mangaka
A 2channel user found out that one of the fake autographs of Toriyama Akira was an imitation of an illustration drawn by Nakatsuru Katsuhiro, the character designer of Dragon Ball Z.
The fake autograph (right) and its original illustration (left)
He sold the fake autographs of Tezuka Osamu, Oda Eiichiro, Araki Hirohiko, Sadamoto Yoshiyuki, Miyazaki Hayao etc. and earned about 10 million yen (approx. $100,000).
