Misfit Harlock Pirate Skull Mugs

In memory of Matsumoto Akira-Senpai, we decided to honor his passing with a "Captain Harlock" fanart reminiscing about the good old days.

"We will not pray for anything. Nor will we seek help from anyone. Never again will we fight under another's flag." - Captain Harlock. As an archetypical romantic hero, a space pirate with an individualist philosophy of life, Captain Harlock (キャプテン・ハーロック Kyaputen Hārokku) is a self-made man, having seen the corruption of Earth's government politicians and their self-indulgence as well as the growing threats that many people refuse to acknowledge. He is as noble as he is taciturn, rebellious, stoically fighting against totalitarian regimes, whether they be earth-born or alien.

I love the design aesthetic of 1977 the Japanese Anime "Space Pirate Captain Harlock".

The character was created by Leiji Matsumoto in 1977 and popularized in the 1978 television series Space Pirate Captain Harlock.

Hope you like it.

The 1977 space pirate Harlock was the romantic hero, noble and taciturn, from the manga artist Leiji Matsumoto. Here's one of his Jolly Roger (the pirates flag): the 3 teeth version.
