Production notes

Based on Yuichi Takahashi's anime of the same name in "Shonen Jump."

This started as a TV series of 128 25-minute episodes. Four 45-minute films followed: "Captain Tsubasa: Great European Challenge" and "Captain Tsubasa: Japanese Junior Championship" (both 1984), "Captain Tsubasa: Run Toward Tomorrow" (1985) and "Captain Tsubasa: The Junior World Cup" (1986). The final film prompted an updated series of 13 30-minute episodes, "New Captain Tsubasa" (directed by Osamu Sekita); these were released directly to video in 1989.

In 1993, a professional Japanese soccer team was established, finally mirroring the character (that of a pro soccer player) portrayed in this anime.

Tsubasa returned in a new TV series in 2001.
