“I myself watched Captain Tsubasa as a kid on TV and I loved it,” says 26-year old Obada.
The BBC’s report shows not only how Obada himself responded to the Syrian crisis, but also shows how Captain Tsubasa publisher Shueisha is helping to distribute the Arabic translations to refuges around the world.
For example, BBC News today offers a profile of Obada Kassoumah, a Syrian student in Tokyo who is helping to translate the Captain Tsubasa manga which is being distributed to refugees around the globe to help keep the dreams of children burning bright.
