Dragon Ball GT
Dragon Ball GT (Japanese: ドラゴンボール GT, Hepburn: Doragon Bōru Jī Tī) is a Japanese anime television series based on Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga that ran from February 1996 to November 1997. Produced by Toei Animation, the series premiered in Japan on Fuji TV and ran for 64 episodes. Unlike Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, the previous two television adaptations in the Dragon Ball media franchise, Dragon Ball GT does not adapt the manga by Toriyama. Dragon Ball GT is an anime-exclusive sequel to Dragon Ball Z with an original storyline using the same characters and universe, which follows the exploits of Son Goku, the series protagonist who is turned into a child; his granddaughter, Pan; and their associates on a quest to collect Black Star Dragon Balls, a set of Dragon Balls which are hidden throughout the universe.

Despite the series being a non-manga adaptation, series creator Toriyama designed new characters for Dragon Ball GT. Until the release of Dragon Ball Super in 2015, Dragon Ball GT was the last televised animated series in the Dragon Ball franchise.
