Dragon Ball Z, commonly abbreviated as DBZ, is the long-running anime sequel to the Dragon Ball TV series, adapted from the final twenty-six volumes of the Dragon Ball manga written by Akira Toriyama. The manga portion of the series debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1988 and lasted until 1995; the anime adaptation premiered in Japan on Fuji Television on April 26, 1989, taking over its predecessor's time slot, and ran until its conclusion on January 31, 1996, lasting 291 episodes in Japan, and 276 episodes in the United States originally, although all 291 episodes were later broadcast when content from the first 67 episodes was restored.

Dragon Ball Z uses four pieces of theme music in the Japanese version. From episodes 1-199, the opening theme is "Cha-La Head-Cha-La" by Hironobu Kageyama, and the closing theme is "Detekoi Tobikiri Zenkai Pawa!" by MANNA. From episodes 200-291, the opening and closing themes are "WE GOTTA POWER" and "Boku-Tachi wa Tenshi Datta," both by Hironobu Kageyama.

This is where I place some important text content so that Google will find it and index my site. I realize that if I don't do this, the site will soon be forgotten by Google and all of the rest of the search engines, and, alas, the site will sink into oblivion .... but I haven't written anything yet. Go figure.
