Misconceptions
Contrary to popular belief, Armor Project is not a three person joint ownership between Yuji Horii, Akira Toriyama, and the late Kōichi Sugiyama. It is wholly owned by Horii, with Akira Toriyama being credited via his Bird Studio (バードスタジオ) office and Koichi Sugiyama by his Sugiyama Kobo label.
