Masahiro Hosoda

"I am extremely happy for Dragon Ball, a monumental animated work that is the pride of Japan the world over, to be revived with a completely original story by creator Akira Toriyama-sensei as Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, the first movie in 17 years, and to become the first Japanese film to be shown in IMAX. By all means, I would like you to experience the full-throttle power battle-scene between the mighty Son Goku and Beerus, God of Destruction, which makes use of the latest visual effects, at an IMAX Digital theater, with an even greater power and sense of immediacy"
— Masahiro Hosoda, Battle of Gods official website, March 2013
