In1983, Youichi Takahashi sat down in Japan and drew
Tsubasa Ozora; a boy destined to become the world's
best football player. More than 25 years later, "Captain
Tsubasa" has become a worldwide phenomenon and
is almost single-handedly responsible for turning football
into Japan's national obsession.
Translated and televised in over twenty countries,
millions have followed Tsubasa Ozora from his childhood
to the 2002 FIFA World Cup ™ and beyond. The effects
of this animated series on the sport are immeasurable
but one thing is certain. If you ask many of today's

football they will undoubtedly mention Tsubasa Ozora.
