Captain Harlock is the
brainchild of
renowned japanese manga artist Leiji Matsumoto. One of the world's most
recognized anime characters,
Harlock appears in several
anime series by
Matsumoto. Harlock is a
space pirate who wanders the
universe battling for the
good of mankind in his famous
starship, the
Arcadia. He travels with his good friend
Oyama Tochiro, an incredible
engineer, and the beautiful and mysterious
Queen Emeraldas.
Captain Harlock is a
shady character with a long
family history of exploring the skies. He wears an
eyepatch over his left eye, after being shot out in a
gun battle. His
trademark logo is the
skull and crossbones, a
symbol representing his
free spirit and strong
will to "
fight to the bone", not a
symbol of death or
evil. He wields a powerful
laser constructed by
Tochiro that is unmatched by any in the
universe.
His most popular
movie is
Arcadia of My Youth (sometimes referred to as
My Youth in Arcadia). He has also appeared in other
timeless classics such as
Galaxy Express 999, and the recently released
Harlock Saga. Below is Captain Harlock's
