Captain Tsubasa
His first manga one-shot appearance was in "Captain Tsubasa: World Youth Tokubetsu Hen - Saikyo no Teki! Holanda Youth", in which Tsubasa returns from Brazil to Japan to play a match against Holland's Youth Team. The one-shot was adapted into an original video animation (OVA), in which Tsubasa can only assist Japan during the game's second half due to his late arrival. In the one-shot "Captain Tsubasa 2000: Millennium Dream", he appears as a playable video game character competing with Brazil's team for a gold medal. In the two-part story "Captain Tsubasa: Golden Dream", Barcelona faces Japan's Júbilo Iwata, resulting in the first time Tsubasa faces Misaki. In the five-part story "Captain Tsubasa 25th Anniversary", Japan's team plays against a team composed of famous international players. In the one-shot "Captain Tsubasa: Golden-23 - Japan Dream 2006", Tsubasa is a part of a Japanese team that plays against a team from Germany.
