Not much say today at Leijiverse 999 on Jan 25, but today is the 75th birthday of legendary manga writer and illustrator Leiji Matsumoto, the director and conceptual artist of the original Space Battleship Yamato series as well the writer and illustrator of a number of manga titles, including Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999, and Queen Millenia. Yes, 75 years old and still going on in the manga and anime industry.

Happy birthday, Matsumoto-sensei, and happy 60th anniverary to your visual career as well
