While the franchise is certainly very well known, not everyone is familiar with it, as its popularity varies considerably from region to region.

In North America, the original Captain Tsubasa anime never rose to relevance, but in many European and Latin American countries (and of course, Japan) almost every kid who grew up in the past forty years knows about it.
