There has been a champion, a hero that too many people do not know about.
There have been a few movies, but none of those have made justice to the incredible story of fierce villain Tiger Mask who becomes a heroic wrestler idolised by kids.
In 2013 a Japanese movie by the name of The Tiger Mask was released but soon forgotten, when fans all around felt cheated watching a movie about a guy wearing a mask of magic powers.
The original Tiger mask (a Japanese manga series written by Ikki Kajiwara, illustrated by Naoki Tsuji and then televised into an anime series by Toei Animation) tells the heroic story of a runner orphan, Naoto Date scouted by mysterious organisation Tiger's Cave.
The group trains young men to become villainous heel wrestlers and collects half of their earnings. However Naoto Date hopes other orphans will not have to go through a diffult life so he begins to donate his earnings to an orphanage where he grew up, including the portion that is supposed to go to Tiger's Cave.
Tiger's Cave now considers Naoto Date a traitor and they send assassins to get rid of Tiger Mask.
Tiger's Cave now considers Naoto Date a traitor and they send assassins to get rid of Tiger Mask.
The Yellow Devil will be the first movie set to explore the story of extremely vicious fighter Tiger Mask alter ego of warm-hearted Naoto Date.
We are really looking forward to this film and if it is a straight adaptation from the manga and anime origins, then we are in for something ferociously spectacular.
