Probably, since whole myth 'bout Sayan super race and Super Sayan is similar to Superman and people of planet Krypton...Sayans were race of superhumans who lived on planet Vegeta...Unlike people of Krypton who were peaceful, Sayans were conquerors who conquered planets in Universe for excenge of good in techology...They all died when Frieza evil lord destroyed their planet, leaving only Goku or Kakarot, Vegeta, Radiz, Napa and Vegeta's brother alive...Later Napa and Radiz died...Goku was only good Sayan because he hit his head while being a baby, and Vegeta turned a new leaf after fight wit Frieza...So there are similarity between Goku or Kakarot and Clark or Kal El, in few thing, firs both are fighting for good, second both are aliens from planet of superhuman, that were destroyed, both have Earth and Alien names, and both were fighting evil people who survived from their planet to protect Earth...So if you take options that artists usually copy what they like, I think yes, Toriyama was Superman fan
Superman would have many super superman versions ahead :P

I hate to break it to you, but I'm not the genealogy expert here. Akira Toriyama's parents are named as Takashi Toriyama and Hatsue Toriyama. So, there you have it, the proud creators of the man behind Dragon Ball.
Never. It was a fan-made Doujinshi, not an actual series by Toei Animation or Akira Toriyama.
Akira Toriyama attended the Yamaguchi Prefectural Industrial High School, but he did not attend college. He pursued a career in manga and art instead of furthering his education.
You can try oldfashion way, buy mailing him by post a fan-letter...Realize something, Toriyama is busy man, like all other manga artist, he can't have the luxury to spend time on net, because of his time...And he can't answer all fan mail...
Akira Toriyama.
