Kapanlagi.com - The news of Akira Toriyama's death some time ago apparently had a significant impact on mangakas in Japan. Previously, Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, decided to take a break for a few weeks to focus on his health. Now, it's Yoichi Takahashi's turn, the creator of Tsubasa, who made a surprising announcement to retire.
Actually, this news has emerged since January 2024 when Takahashi had an interview. He mentioned that his health condition is no longer optimal as he gets older.
"I think I'm still in good health today. However, as I continue to make manga, the decline in my physical condition related to age becomes inevitable. My speed has significantly slowed down, and moreover, my vision has worsened. It's difficult to focus," Takahashi said in an interview, as quoted from Comicbook on Thursday (4/1/2024).
As is known, Yoichi Takahashi has been involved in the manga world for 43 years. And this year, 2024, is considered the right time to end his career as a mangaka.

Last Friday (5/4), through X's account, Takahashi finally made an official announcement for retirement as a mangaka. This means that both series Captain Tsubasa that he was working on: 'Rising' and 'Memories' have officially ended.
"Thank you for all the support for 'Captain Tsubasa'. Since I have been drawing from the last episode of 'Captain Tsubasa' magazine, I feel relieved to have completed this series. I can finally live without being burdened by deadlines," Takahashi wrote in his tweet.
However, Takahashi mentioned that he cannot simply leave the creative world that he has come to love. He will still provide ideas and write scripts so that other mangakas/creators can continue his work.
"I have decided to retire as a mangaka, but I still enjoy drawing and creating stories. I might be semi-retired, but I will still engage in activities in the creative world," he continued.

'Captain Tsubasa' itself will continue to exist in a new format. As mentioned above, Takahashi will only focus on the script and story, but without having to think about specific deadlines. He wants to focus on providing the best entertainment from his creative thinking.
"Starting now, the latest episodes of 'Captain Tsubasa' will be uploaded on the newly launched website, 'Captain Tsubasa WORLD' as its name (sketches/storyboards that serve as the foundation of manga production). Although the story will not be drawn or colored, this will give me time to write and create stories for you faster because I don't have a deadline, a target number of pages and scripts. In my opinion, this will allow me to present entertainment more creatively," added Takahashi.
The tweets from the creator of Captain Tsubasa certainly surprised many fans. It's understandable, as this series has become one of the legendary manga and anime, not only in Japan but also at an international level.
A little bit of nostalgia, Takahashi then shared a bit about his past as a mangaka. And he assured that the story of Captain Tsubasa will continue.
"Looking back, my life as a mangaka started from elementary school when I began drawing my original manga using a pencil in a notebook. I usually showed my works to my younger brother and friends at school. And one thing for sure, the story of Captain Tsubasa has not ended yet! I hope you all continue to support Captain Tsuabsa as before," he concluded.
Captain Tsubasa is one of the anime and manga series that is loved by many people from various parts of the world. In Indonesia, the anime was also aired and became one of the core memories, especially for the 90s generation.
Captain Tsubasa was created by Takahashi in 1981. Until now, this series has sold more than 90 million copies, making it one of the best-selling sports manga of all time.
