■現代英語 Japanese manga artist Matumoto Leiji dies
（日本の漫画家松本零士さん無くなる）
An author known for creating cosmic epics has died.
Matumoto Leiji was behind "Galaxy Express 999" and "Space battleship Yamato" - manga and anime that popularized the space genre.
The smash-hit titles also made it to the silver screen, delighting audiences the world over.

Matumoto's signature drawing style was meticulous.
He relied on extensive research and his own family's history.
Many of Matsumoto's works were influenced by stories his father told him about life as a pilot in the now-defunct Imperial Japanese Army.
“My father locked eyes with an American pilot and though his family.　But he had to shoot down the enemy plane.”

Matsumoto also became known for historical fiction.
He said he spent half a century trying to depict the foolishness of war and the importance of life.
Matsumoto died from heart failure. He was 85 years old.

友人が宇宙戦艦ヤマトの大ファンでした。彼女に誘われ、当時、新宿の映画館で長い行列に並んで映画を観たのを覚えています。今回のニュースで松本零士さんが宇宙冒険作家とともに歴史フィクションも書かれていて戦争の愚かさを訴えていたというのは知りませんでした。その作品も読んでみたくなりました。
