The Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Kai anime series (and associated movies, Video Games, etc) are all based on or derived from the Dragon Ball manga (the latter part of which is commonly called Dragon Ball Z to correspond with the anime) by Toriyama Akira, who drew inspiration for early storylines from the well-known and popular classic Chinese story Journey to the West (also known as Saiyuki).
