Leiji Matsumoto was a well-known creator of several anime and manga series. He is famous for his space operas such as Uchuu Senkan Yamato.

His style is characterized by tragic heroes; tall, slender, fragile-looking heroines with strong wills and, in some cases, god-like powers; and a love of analog gauges and dials in his spacecraft.

Matsumoto died from acute heart failure on February 13, 2023 at the age of 85.

Matsumoto was married to former mangaka Miyako Maki.
