Captain Tsubasa/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Cross-Dressing Voices:
    • Tsubasa's often voiced by female seiyuu... one of them being Yoko Ogai, Youichi Takahashi's ex-wife. Avoided in the latter half of the Road to 2002 TV series, where his child self is voiced by Kikuko Inoue... and his adult one, by Tomokazu Seki.
    • Like Tsubasa, Taro's almost always voiced by women except for the second half of Road to 2002, where Kosuke Toriumi takes over Satsuki Yukino's work.
    • Ryo Ishizaki until Road to 2002.
    • Kazuo and Masao Tachibana were almost always voiced by ladies.
  • Executive Meddling: Takahashi has had to deal more than once with this. I.e., at least two matches from World Youth Cup were totally skipped.
  • Fan Translation: The series is graced with an extremely devoted Scanlation scene, a person who goes by the name Shinji has translated every single printed piece for Captain Tsubasa up to date, all by himself! (THANK YOU KID!) Some related merchandise like video games was also translated by Shinji.
  • Name's the Same: Shingo Takasugi has absolutely no relation with Green Two.
  • No Export for You: Almost all the games were released only in Japan, but Konami released an European version of the Captain Tsubasa game for Nintendo DS.
  • The Other Darrin: Sanae had four different seiyuus: Chika Sakamoto in the original TV series and the OAV's, Fujiko Takimoto in one of the movies, Junko Iwao in the J series, and finally Atsuko Enomoto in Road to 2002.
