10 Anime Series Based On Real Life Stories


5. The Wind Rises

The real-life story

The Wind Rises is an animated historical drama based on the life of Jiro Horikoshi.

My Hero Academia Vigilantes New Character Visuals Revealed

January 29, 2025

Clevatess Anime Adaptation Set to Premiere in July 2025

January 28, 2025

it’s a fighter jet designer, and the 1937 short story, The Wind Has Risen, by Tatsuo Hori.

The story imagines Horikoshi as something of an artist who sees the beauty in the fighter jets he designs but laments their use as weapons.

Horikoshi was indeed opposed to fighting America in WWII.

However, it’s unclear if that was driven more by pragmatism than morality, as he stated in his journal that a war with the US was unwinnable.


4. Roronoa Zoro from One Piece

anime_real_life_story_zoro_one-piece

The real-life story

One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda admitted that Roronoa Zoro’s name is derived from a real 17th Century French pirate of the Caribbean named François L’Olonnais.

The phonetic resemblance of the names is tenuous unless the Frenchman’s name is pronounced by someone with a Japanese accent… That’s a little messed up, right?


3. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0

anime_real_life_story

The Anime real-life story

So the wizards behind Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, which aired in 2009, accurately predicted the future.

Relying on extensive scientific research, the creators of the show told the story of the aftermath of a historically large earthquake that would rock Japan.

The series wasn’t too far off – they predicted an 8.0 earthquake would hit in 2012 when an actual 9.0 tore through Japan in 2011.

Can a show be based on a true story if it happened before the real-life event? Apparently, it can.


2. Aoi Bungaku

anime_real_life_story

The real-life story

The “No Longer Human” story arc from the anime series Aoi Bungaku is based on the Japanese novel of the same name by Osamu Dazai.

The novel is maybe autobiographical with a large focus on the theme of suicide, which the author committed shortly after the publishing of the book.

In fact, many believed the novel to be Dazai’s will. So Aoi Bungaku includes a tertiary telling of a potentially true story.


1. Bakuman

bakuman_anime_real_life_story

The Anime real life story

Bakuman is about two young boys who aspire to become manga artists – one as a writer, the other as an illustrator.

The manga was originally published in a Japanese magazine called Weekly Shōnen Jump, and the characters are based loosely on the writers and editors of the magazine itself.

Furthermore, there are many manga titles in Bakuman that are actual mangas of Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Are you getting a meta-migraine yet?
