Masami Kurumada, creator of Saint Seiya, found that he wanted to be a manga artist after reading Ashita no Joe by Tetsuya Chiba and Asao Takamori.
Shingo Araki, the art director for the Saint Seiya anime, also happened to have done the same job in the Ashita no Joe anime.
Ashita no Joe also became a videogame. It was released in the USA as Legend of Success Joe, and is regarded by many as the worst fighting game for the Neo Geo.

OXO (also known as Noughts and Crosses) is a tic-tac-toe computer game made for the EDSAC computer in 1952. It was written by A.S. (Sandy) Douglas as an illustration for his Ph.D. thesis on human-computer interaction for the University of Cambridge. OXO is the first known (graphical) game to run on a computer. However, there is patent dating from 1947–1948 that describes a missile simulation game utilising a cathode ray tube.
