Captain Tsubasa (キャプテン翼, Kyaputen Tsubasa?) is a popular Japanese manga, anime, and video game series, originally created by Yoichi Takahashi in 1981. Captain Tsubasa is based on the sport of football (soccer), which is known as soccer in Japan.
The story focuses on the adventures of a Japanese youth soccer team and its soccer captain Tsubasa Ozora (大空 翼, Ōzora Tsubasa?), whose name literally translates to "Big Sky Wings". The series is characterized by dynamic soccer moves, often stylish and implausible. The plot focuses on Tsubasa's relationship with his friends, rivalry with his opponents, training, competition, and the action and outcome of each soccer match.
The Captain Tsubasa manga series was originally serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump manga magazine between 1981 and 1988, spanning a total of 37-tankōbon volumes. It was continued onto a sequel, Captain Tsubasa: "World Youth" Saga, which was serialized between 1994 and 1997 in Shonen Jump, spanning 18 volumes, and another sequel, entitled Captain Tsubasa: Road to 2002, which was serialized between 2001 and 2004 in Weekly Young Jump, which spanned 15 volumes. The manga is still running, with the latest sequel entitled Captain Tsubasa: Golden 23, serialized in Weekly Young Jump from 2005 to currently.
The original Captain Tsubasa manga series was adapted soon into an anime series, produced by Group TAC and Toei Animation, whose first season premiered in Japan on the TV Tokyo network between 10 October 1983 and 27 March 1986. Four anime movies followed soon, between 1985 and 1986, continuing the storyline. The anime series was followed soon after into a second sequel, entitled Captain Tsubasa J, produced by Nippon Animation, Studio Gallop, which aired between 21 October 1994 and 22 December 1995 in Japan on the Fuji Television network and spanned 47 episodes, as well an OVA series, Captain Tsubasa: Holland Youth, which was published in 1994. The anime series was continued on further into a third sequel, Captain Tsubasa: Road to Dream, also known as Captain Tsubasa ~ Road to 2002, the latest anime adaptation of the series, produced by Group TAC and Madhouse Studios, which aired in Japan between 7 October 2001 and 6 October 2002.
All of the versions of the Captain Tsubasa anime series has been broadcast by the anime satellite television network, Animax, across its original network in Japan and later across its respective networks worldwide, including East Asia, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and other regions. It has also been broadcast across several other regions over the world, including South America, Europe and the Middle East. The success of the series also spurred several Nintendo Super Famicom (the Japanese equivalent of Super NES) video game adaptations. Enoki Films holds the United States license to Captain Tsubasa, under the title Flash Kicker.
