A character from the [[Harlock Saga]] series created by [[Matsumoto Leiji]] in the 70s. [b]Captain Harlock[/b] is a legendary Space Pirate and adventurer who travels across [[space]] in his [[spacecraft|ship]], [i]The [[Arcadia]][/i]. He is [[Ooyama Toshiro]]'s best friend. Harlock is the archetypical romantic hero, a space pirate with an individualist philosophy of life. He is as noble as he is taciturn, rebellious, stoically fighting against totalitarian regimes, whether they be earthborn or alien. In his own words, he "fight(s) for no one's sake... only for something deep in (his) heart". He does not fear death, and is sometimes seen wearing clothing with the number 42 on it. In Japanese culture, the number 42 is associated with death (the numbers, pronounced separately as "four two", sound like the words "shi ni"—meaning "to death"). In real life during 1979 the character of Harlock won the first annual [[Animage]] Grand Prix ever for favorite character. Updated by bot Sun, Sep 18 '22, 02:55 |
