TOKYO, Feb 20 - Leiji Matsumoto, the famed Japanese manga and anime creator of epic space sagas including "Galaxy Express 999" and "Space Pirate Captain Harlock", has died aged 85, his office said on Monday.
He also supervised several animated videos for the French electronic music duo Daft Punk including "One More Time". Matsumoto, who was 7 years old when the World War Two ended, said his work was informed by his wish for people not to experience war and to live for the earth. "Human beings should make efforts to protect all living creatures and nature on earth," he told public broadcaster NHK in 2015.
