Line 2:
Leiji Matsumoto is one of the great names of anime and manga, primarily for being the principal creator of what is probably one of the earliest [[The Verse|shared continuities]] over several anime series, creating a unified arc commonly referred to as the Leijiverse. The characters and settings, combined with a strong reception in the West, meant that his early series were often the primary introduction to anime for Western viewers of the 70's and early 80's.
 
A little-known fact is that Matsumoto was ''not'' the creator of ''[[Uchuu Senkan Yamato (Anime)|Uchuu Senkan Yamato]]'', but was brought on to the project by the producer. [[My Real Daddy|However, it is acknowledged that that Matsumoto's vision was the primary ingredient for the success of the series.]]
 
Matsumoto's wife, former manga artist Miyako Maki, has been credited with the creation of both the ''Licca-chan'' doll (pretty much the Japanese equivalent of [[Barbie]]) and quite the contributions to the [[Shojo]] and [[Josei]] manga genres.
 
Anime series of note include:
* ''[[Uchuu Senkan Yamato (Anime)|Uchuu Senkan Yamato]]'' a.k.a. ''Space Cruiser Yamato'' a.k.a. ''Star Blazers''
* ''[[Galaxy Express 999 (Manga)|Galaxy Express 999]]''
* ''[[Captain Harlock (Anime)|Captain Harlock]]''
* ''[[The Galaxy Railways (Anime)|The Galaxy Railways]]''
* ''[[Queen Millennia (Anime)|Queen Millennia]]'' a.k.a. ''The Queen of a Thousand Years'' which was cut together with ''Captain Harlock'' in the only US release.
* ''[[Ozma (Anime)Ozuma|Ozma]]''
 
Accepted an invitation from the French musical group [[Daft Punk (Music)|Daft Punk]] (who are great admirers of his work) to come out of retirement and collaborate on the concept album/anime feature film ''[[Interstella 5555 (Anime)|Interstella 5555]]: The 5tory of The 5ecret 5tar 5ystem''.
