Captain Tsubasa (キャプテン翼) is a popular manga, anime, and video game series originally created by Yoichi Takahashi in 1981. It was later exported and was well received in most of South America, Europe and the Middle East. The series is also known as "Supercampeones" (Superchamps) in most of South America, "Super Campeões" in Portugal & Brazil, "Campeones" in Spain, "Olive et Tom" (France), "Die tollen Fußballstars" (The Great Footballstars) in Germany, "Holly e Benji" in Italy, and "Kapitan Jastrząb" in Poland. Captain Tsubasa is also known as "Captain Majid" in Middle Eastern countries.
Captain Tsubasa is based on the sport of soccer. Because it may have helped promote the sport, Captain Tsubasa was supported by the JFA: Japan Football Associattion during the development of the series.
The story focuses on the adventures of a Japanese Soccer team and its Soccer captain "Tsubasa Ozora". The series is characterized by dynamic soccer moves, often both stylish and impossible, similar to Shaolin Soccer. 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 series, banking on its success, spurred several SuperFamicom (SuperNES in USA) video games (see below). Upon release, the soccer-based RPG topped the sales charts in both South America and Japan; despite the lack of official translation into Spanish.
Enoki Films USA holds the license to Captain Tsubasa (under the title Flash Kicker a.k.a. Captain Tsubasa).

Video game history
Captain Tsubasa can be considered either a "Sports RPG" or "Soccer simulation". Characters run down the field in real time, but when coming into contact with an opposing team member, a turn based battle is initiated. The player can select moves such as "slide tackle" or "head butt" depending on the situation, and success is based on individual teammate stats, which improve with each winning game. Animations are impressive for the original Famicom, demonstrating smooth and dynamic moves, large and fast moving sprites, and excessive physics-defying moves.
Captain Tsubasa was brought to the US to be distributed as Tecmo World Cup Soccer, as part of the Tecmo sports franchise. It was heavily Americanized, featuring a different main character, a different introduction, different music, and all characters were changed to look more American, for example no spikey black hair. Tecmo World Cup, Tecmo World Cup '92, and Tecmo World Cup '93 for the Sega Genesis are unrelated to the Captain Tsubasa series.
Each game in the series improved on graphics and gameplay. The final Captain Tsubasa game for the Super Famicom, Captain Tsubasa J, which is based on the anime series, abandons the RPG formula and plays as a traditional Soccer action title. Captain Tsubasa J was later ported to Sony PlayStation.
Blitz Ball, a fictional sports game featured in Final Fantasy X, has a very similar gameplay design to that of Captain Tsubasa.
