Captain Tsubasa

キャプテン翼

Tsubasa Ozora has only just moved to Nankatsu in Shizuoka with his mother and is already calling out Genzo Wakabayashi, the goalkeeping prodigy of Shutetsu Elementary. The sixth grader's motto is that the ball is his friend, and his dream is to see Japan lift the World Cup. A mentor arrives too. Roberto Hongo is a Brazilian great who is friends with Tsubasa's father. He moves in and starts training the boy. From there it is matches, training and rivalries. The series helped make soccer popular in Japan, and players like Hidetoshi Nakata and Lionel Messi are among those it inspired to go pro. This is the original series. Sequels such as World Youth continue the story.
