Happy Leiji Matsumoto Day 
Today is January 25, the birthday of legendary Mangaka Leiji Matsumoto (of course he's still alive though, and today, he's age 71). He's the guy who created various Manga/Anime greats (including "Captain Harlock", "Great Yamato No. 0", "Galaxy Expres 999", "Galaxy Railways", "Queen Millenia", and "Interstella 555") and served as a character/mechanical designer and art director of Yoshinobu Nishizaki's legendary Sci-Fi Anime classic "Space Battleship Yamato" (known in North America as "Star Blazers").
