If you were a fan of Sailor Moon growing up like I was, it most likely introduced you to the world of anime, Japanese language and culture, and otakus. Sailor Moon was so popular that it aired on U.S. TV every morning and you had to get up with the crickets to see it. I did this religiously every morning, and I never missed an episode.
Sailor Moon was created by Naoko Takeuchi, who was born in Kofu, Yamanashi prefecture in Japan in 1967. The Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon mangas were taken up by Penguin Books and Kodansha Publisher. The anime was taken up TV Asahi, Viz Media, and Toei Animation.

Naoko Takeuchi created other works that were popular, though she achieved great fame when Sailor Moon was created. Some of Naoko Takeuchi's other works included short stories, mangas, and animes such as: "Yume Ja Nai No Ne", "Love Call", "The Cherry Project", "Daddy Long Legs", "Toki Meka", "Love Witch", "Chocolate Christmas", "Princess Naoko and Prince Yoshihiro's Baby/Marriage Punch!!", "Code Name Sailor V", "Maria", "Princess Naoko Takeuchi's Back-To-Society Punch!!", "Prism Time", "PQ Angels", and "Miss Rain".

When the upcoming Sailor Moon Crystal Season 4 is released, since it will be a film rather than a TV series, it will also count as another film made based on the Sailor Moon franchise.
The immense popularity of Sailor Moon also led to the creation of a Sailor Moon museum, a store, and a cafe.
