Comment from Captain Tsubasa Author Yoichi Takahashi
PR TIMESWhat were your thoughts when you first heard about the collaboration with eFootball?
I was very happy to see the world of "Captain Tsubasa" blend with players like Messi, Suarez, and Neymar.
(Translated from Japanese)PR TIMES
How did you feel when you received the request to draw illustrations of world-class soccer players like Messi, Kubo, and Neymar? What thoughts did you put into drawing them?
I was very happy, but since these are players everyone knows, I drew them while considering how to make them resemble characters from "Captain Tsubasa" while also ensuring fans of the players wouldn't say, "it doesn't look like them!"
(Translated from Japanese)PR TIMES
Please provide a message to eFootball players who are looking forward to this collaboration.
I hope many people will enjoy the unique initiatives of this collaboration, where the world of "Captain Tsubasa" blends with the game's existing worldview.
