explanation: Born January 25, 1938 in Fukuoka, this precocious mangaka had already begun to publish at the age of 19 in a monthly magazine "Shojo". By its writing style, his works should be better suitable for anime screen than on paper, for he has realized 3 great hits in that domain. They are in chronological order, "Space Battleship Yamato" (1974), "Galaxy Express 999" (1977) and "Captain Harlock" (1978).
