Captain Tsubasa

Synopsis: Captain Tsubasa is the passionate story of a primary school student whose thoughts and dreams revolve almost entirely around love for football. Tsubasa Oozora, 11, began playing soccer at a very young age, and although it was mainly a recreational sport for his friends, for him, this turned into something of obsession.

To pursue his dream with the best of his elementary school skills, Tsubasa moves with his mother to the city of Nankatsu, which is known for his excellent primary school soccer teams. But while he was easily the best in his old town, Nankatsu has much more competition, and he will need all his skill and talent to stand out from this new crowd.

He finds not only rivals, but also new friends like beautiful girl Sanae Nakazawa and the talented goalkeeper, Genzo Wakabayashi, who shares the same passion as Tsubasa, and will prove to be a precious friend to help him move toward her dreams. Representing Japan at the FIFA World Cup is Tsubasa's final dream, but it will need much more than talent to reach it.
