Welcome to the Leijiverse

A word from the author

Dear fans of Leiji Matsumoto,

This site is dedicated to one of the most famous Japanese manga drawer Leiji Matsumoto (also sometimes spelled as Reiji Matsumoto).

He created a lot of mangas which were possibly turned into anime. Among those anime, let us quote Uchû Senkan Yamato (known as Star Blazers in the US), Uchû Kaizoku Captain Harlock (Albator in the French-speaking countries), Ginga Tetsudô 999 (Galaxy Express 999), or Starzinger famous in Sweden, all of which were big hits from the mid-70s to the early 80s in Japan.

The most aware fans will certainly recognize more recent anime such as The Cockpit, Queen Emeraldas and Harlock Saga, while the others have surely seen some of the Daft Punk videos on TV.

I wanted this site to be as accurate as possible, like an encyclopedia. I also wish this site to be your site, the site of every people on earth who has experienced the depth of the works of Leiji Matsumoto.

This site is still under construction and help is welcome, specially for the summaries of episodes and movies, and info about rare works.

Anyway, I hope you will enjoy this site.

A time voyager
