Commander Red
Apparently, Commander Red's real name is written as "Red Ribon" and pronounced "Red Raibon".
Since it was often misread as "Ribbon", he decided to name his organization "the Red Ribbon Army".
That's what Akira Toriyama told me during the serialization of the SUPER HERO arc, at least.

This is a special series where we feature sketches drawn by Toyotarou, the co-creator of V Jump's ongoing series Dragon Ball Super!
This illustration features "Commander Red"!
Commander Red is the leader of the Red Ribbon Army, which was annihilated by a young Goku. In the Dragon Ball Super manga it is revealed that his real name is Red Ribon. Toyotarou tells us the backstory behind his nefarious organization's name in the comment above!
Be sure to leave a comment below telling us what character you want Toyotarou to draw next and in what situation! You might get to see your idea come to life in the next article!
