Reading Yoichi Takahashi's "Captain Tsubasa" feels like a generation influenced by anime.

This is a comic that determines the fate of football for several generations and a country.

In an interview, 16 of the 23 players on the Japanese national team said they started playing football because of watching "Captain". Abroad, the list includes Totti, Inzaghi and Trezeguet. On various websites related to the J-League in Japan and some related games, the names and information of the characters in "Captain Tsubasa" will naturally be attached to the real-life player information of each team, as if they have become shining stars. part of real football. Even the water supply trucks supplied by Japan to aid Iraq were painted with the image of Tsubasa Ohsora, the protagonist of "Captain Tsubasa". Taro Aso, the then foreign minister, was overjoyed and revealed: "So these trucks have not been attacked by terrorists at all."

What kind of comic is this? Why does it have such a magical power, allowing Japanese football to gradually squeeze out its own sky from traditional Japanese popular sports such as baseball and sumo wrestling in 20 years, and become the leader in Asia?

Great works always have some legendary stories, and some people come into this world just to fulfill a destiny. Can you believe it, "The Football Player" is actually the debut work of a new cartoonist, and it is also the cartoonist's only full-length comic work. From the serialization in 1981 to today, this debut work has been serialized for 35 years.

This cartoonist is Takahashi Yoichi. Yoichi Takahashi was born in Tokyo on July 28, 1960. He determined to become a cartoonist in high school. After graduating from high school, he entered Hiramatsu Production Company and became the assistant of Hiramatsuji, a famous cartoonist at the time. Influenced by the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, Yoichi Takahashi submitted his debut manga "Soccer" to the comic weekly "Shounen Jump" in 1980, which became an instant hit. The whole movie takes the "dream boy" Tsubasa Ozora as the protagonist, telling his football career from childhood to adulthood, which also leads to his opponents and partners such as Wakabayashi Genzo, Misaki Taro, Hinata Kojiro, etc. After they formed the Japanese youth team, World-class players such as Schneider, Pierre, Santana and others appeared again.

According to the serialization time, "Captain Tsubasa" and its sequels can be roughly divided into three parts, which almost exactly represent the three periods of the rise of Japanese football.

The first part is the growth chapter of "Little Football Player". Mainly represented by Ohsora Tsubasa, the story of a group of Japanese football teenagers from elementary school to junior high school. At the end of the series, there was also a plot of the Japanese youth representative team's expedition to Europe to participate in the World Youth Football Championship. The growth series lasted until the end of 1988.

The second part, in 1994, Takahashi Yoichi started serializing the World Youth Championship. Tsubasa Ohsora, who has become a professional player of the Brazilian Sao Paulo team, competes with his friends in the World Youth Championship. The Brazilian team No. 10 appears at the end of the story. Player Nadulisa has become the strongest opponent of Da Kongyi. This series lasted until the end of 1997, and Japan finally won the championship.

In the third part, a new series started again in 2001. This time the young players all joined professional clubs. Japanese young players joined the J-League. Tsubasa Ohso was transferred from Sao Paulo, Brazil to La Liga Barcelona. And then, the story of Japan’s participation in the Olympics until today begins.

The life of the author Yoichi Takahashi is also closely connected with "Captain Tsubasa". This doesn’t just mean that he used his birthday, July 28, as Ohsora Tsubasa’s birthday, or that he turned his alma mater, Nange Middle School, into Ohsora Tsubasa’s alma mater. More importantly, “Soccer Club” started in 1983 Animated, Takahashi Yoichi found his partner, and his wife Xiaoyu Yoko is the voice actor of Tsubasa Okora.

The mysterious prophetic ability of "Captain Tsubasa" seemed to be revealed from the beginning. Yoichi Takahashi designated the protagonist's birthplace as Shizuoka Prefecture. Later, Shizuoka Prefecture produced many Japanese national football teams. Team members, such as Kawaguchi Noo, Ono Shinji, Sugishita Ryuji...

In 1981, all boys with athletic talents in various primary and secondary schools in Japan were playing baseball, and no one cared about football. At that time, In order to compete with baseball for the youth market, Japan Professional Football League Chairman Saburo Kawabuchi even led his staff to the stadium on weekends to give away free footballs to boys. However, the emergence of "Captain" changed everything.

Looking back now, "Captain Soccer" cannot be regarded as a first-class work in terms of painting level, storyboarding or plot design. The tall characters and endless killing skills make it full of excitement. It has a strong atmosphere of the 1980s and the plot where the protagonist always has to play with injuries may seem cliched, but it is these designs that make "Captain" have the characteristics of the mainstream and popular shonen comics at that time and gain the "capital" of popularity. For the first time, the words that Japanese people particularly love - dreams, perseverance, heroism and genius - were closely integrated with the sport of football.

More importantly, Yoichi Takahashi did not limit his vision to China from the beginning. From the beginning, he designed a path for Ohko Tsubasa to study abroad in Brazil. This path now looks like It is very objective. The first-skilled style of play is more suitable for the physical fitness of Asians. More importantly, Brazil is the largest concentration of Japanese overseas immigrants. Young people studying in Brazil are more likely to get help in language and various aspects.

At the same time, Takahashi Yoichi also repeatedly said in the comics that the dreams of the protagonists are not just as simple as national domination. The teenagers have set their sights on the world early on, dreaming that one day Japanese football can stand in the world. top. How big your heart is, how big your dreams are, how big your future will be. On average, each single volume of "Football Players" has a circulation of about one million copies. In 1983, TV Tokyo animated "Captain Tsubasa" and created the highest animation ratings of 21.2%. This record has not been broken until now.

At the same time, Japan’s football population is also increasing rapidly, and footballs in sports stores are even out of stock. The bright future of Japanese football began to brew. In the late 1980s, the under-12 youth championship began to flourish. Group youth leagues based on school clubs, with parents of playing teenagers paying for the competition, continued to appear. There are several youth leagues every year. Thousands of teams participated in the competition, and Ohsora Tsubasa's famous saying "football is a friend" began to spread among the children.

The prophetic magic of the fateful version of "Captain Soccer" continues to be reflected. One year after describing Tsubasa Ohsora's dream of studying in Brazil, 15-year-old Chiro Miura went to Brazil to study in 1982. In the 1987 story, Tsubasa Ohsora decided to join the Brazilian Sao Paulo team, and three years later, Miura Chiro became the player of the Brazilian Santos team. One member. In the story, Tsubasa Ozora was preparing to go to Europe to play football, and Miura Zhiyang joined the Genoa team in Serie A.

In 1988, the growth story of "Captain Tsubasa" came to an end. At this time, Takahashi Yoichi did not expect that Tsubasa Ozora would come back so soon.

In the spring of 1993, the J-League started. This was the first time that Japan had its own professional league. More than 59,000 fans crowded into the Tokyo National Stadium. Football craze spread in Japan. reached unprecedented heights. The J-League has been full of comic colors from the beginning. For example, it does not set ties and directly adopts the exciting "overtime golden goal" format.

However, five months later, a bucket of cold water came. In Doha, Qatar, the Japanese team was defeated in the last 20 seconds of the game when it would have entered the World Cup finals for the first time in history. Iraq equalized the score. The Doha tragedy caused Japanese football to experience a huge setback just after it implemented professional reforms. The viewership rating of that game was as high as 48%, which means that half of the Japanese people have become football fans.

The tragedy in Doha became the motivation for Takahashi Yoichi to continue writing "Captain Tsubasa". He said, "I also have the responsibility to do something for the Japanese national team." In 1994, starting with the tragedy in Doha, Takahashi Yang Yi began to serialize "Football Players - World Youth Chapter".

It is for this reason that in "World Youth Chapter" it can be clearly seen that Takahashi Yoichi is concerned about the general trends in the development of world football and even new changes in technological fashion, and hopes to use his own The influence of the work introduced these advanced concepts into Japan's strong ambition. For example, he began to downplay individual heroism and emphasize overall cooperation, and moved the center of international football from Brazil to Europe, and began to promote the role of regular professional leagues in cultivating young people. In terms of technology, after Overmars became famous, the concept of free midfielders became popular. They became important pieces in the transition from fan-shaped defensive midfielder to diamond-shaped offensive midfielder. They acted as defensive midfielders when defending and as wingers when attacking. Avant-garde. Yoichi Takahashi saw this change and set up the same position character - Aoi Shingo in "Captain Tsubasa".

To some extent, this can be regarded as Takahashi Yoichi’s attempt to remedy the situation.

Due to his personal preference, in "Captain Tsubasa", Tsubasa Ozora was designed to switch from forward to midfielder, and some other main characters were also midfielders. The huge popularity of "Captain Tsubasa" actually made the subsequent generation of Japanese Almost all famous stars are midfielders. The Japanese media even joked: "Why do we have Hidetoshi Nakata, Hiroshi Naha, Shinji Ono, Junichi Inamoto, and Shunsuke Nakamura but not a good forward? This is all Mr. Yoichi Takahashi. "It's my fault."

Indeed, the first generation of readers of "Captain Tsubasa" have been following in the footsteps of Tsubasa Ohso. In the past ten years, as many as 15,000 Japanese players have gone to Brazil to learn football through various channels. , this also directly led to the Japanese Football Association later positioning the team's style in the Brazilian technical stream. In the late 1990s, these young people began to gradually step onto the big stage of world football, and the real-life version of Ozora Tsubasa - Hidetoshi Nakata appeared. Like Nakamura Shunsuke and Moto Tsuneyasu, Nakata Hidetoshi said that it was "Captain Soccer" that made him switch from baseball to football. Since elementary school, Nakata Hidetoshi has been a star player of the school team. After entering middle school, he was selected for the Japanese youth team at that time. , and got the opportunity of "short-term study abroad in Brazil". Under the age of 20, he became the core of Japan's new frontcourt and represented Japan in the 1998 World Cup. Later, he landed in Italian football. He helped the Italian Roma team win the league championship and was Parma's No. 10 player.

Even the defenders of today's Japanese team have delicate dribbling skills, while the Chinese team has been labeled as the "head team" and "rough brother" one after another. The banana balls, tiger shots, barbs and the dream of pursuing the world championship shown in "Captain" were once ridiculed, but the fictional things are now gradually approaching reality in reality. The Japanese team Yasuhito Endo and Keisuke Honda of the World Cup in South Africa The two world-famous free kicks that broke through the door of the Danish team showed the world the results of approaching reality. However, the Chinese team is gradually drifting away from the fictional Xiao Junguang. Now even second- and third-rate teams in Asia such as Jordan cannot defeat it.

"Actually, the biggest inspiration for me in "Captain" is not the skills and tactics, but the spirit. They will practice hard for a shooting skill thousands of times, and they will also burst out with great strength in the adversity of falling behind. . All this is because of dreams. Just like our national team, in the long-awaited top 12 competition, there is no other choice but to try our best! ”
