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 franchise 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 a manga by Toriyama. It 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 main protagonist who is turned into a child; his granddaughter, Pan; and their associates on a quest to collect the Black Star Dragon Balls, a more powerful set of Dragon Balls which are hidden throughout the galaxy.
Despite the series being a non-manga adaptation, series creator Toriyama designed new characters and concepts for Dragon Ball GT. It is the last Dragon Ball series chronologically (taking place after the Dragon Ball Z manga) and until the release of Dragon Ball Super in 2015, Dragon Ball GT was the final televised animated series of the Dragon Ball trilogy of shows altogether.
