In Japan, rival film companies have announced the production of three different feature length theatrical films based on the story of Hayabusa, one of which starred Ken Watanabe.
The Lego construction toy company released a model of Hayabusa through their Cuusoo website.
Many references to Hayabusa appear in the Japanese series Kamen Rider Fourze, a space-themed tokusatsu series.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“I do not see why, since America and her autumn woods have been discovered, our leaves should not compete with the precious stones in giving names to colors; and, indeed, I believe that in course of time the names of some of our trees and shrubs, as well as flowers, will get into our popular chromatic nomenclature.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I am writing to resist the view that Europe and civilization are going to Hell. If I am being “crucified for an idea”Mthat is, the coherent idea around which my muddles accumulated—it is probably the idea that European culture ought to survive, that the best qualities of it ought to survive along with whatever cultures, in whatever universality. Against the propaganda of terror and the propaganda of luxury, have you a nice simple answer?”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
