History

In the early 1990s,ShueishadirectedWeekly Shōnen JumpeditorKazuhiko Torishimato createV Jumpas a children's magazine to compete withShogakukan'sCoroCoro Comic.Believing Shueisha was incapable of this because they lacked the experience and personal connections Shogakukan had, Torishima claims to have purposefully chosen a theme he knew would be unpopular for the third issue.[3][4]He then received permission to re-launch the magazine with the new goal of containing manga, anime, and video game content all in one medium.[3]Torishima later claimed to have predicted people being able to access all of these in one place like smartphones, and wanted to "get off the sinking ship" that was print manga magazines as soon as possible.[4][5]He also wanted to begin promoting games while they were still in development, and personally went around to major game studios and asked them to publicize the names and faces of the individual creators.[3][4]Torishima leftWeekly Shōnen Jumpto re-launchV Jumpin 1992, and serve as its editor-in-chief.[4][6]He also changed the meaning of the "V" in its title from "Victory", derived from theV sign,to "Virtual".[4]Akira Toriyamadesigned the magazine's mascot character V Dragon(V long),who was named via a reader poll.[7]
