Local Heroes

[Aoi Kurenai]

Local Heroes are, as they sound, locally made tokusatsu heroes designed to promote cities, prefectures, and whatnot. They're usually not all that high budget, but a few of them do get mini episodes produced. I was watching Norton Fighter and was amused to learn it's considered a local hero and was wondering if anyone else knows of any interesting heroes. If anyone's interested, here's a subbed episode for Norton Fighter, done hilariously in an older tokusatsu style.

Ah yeah, I found a bunch of these for my Tokusatsu thread. I found a bunch and couldn't really begin to list them all.

This was funnier than most Sentais and Riders out now.

Norton Fighter is NOT a local fighter. he's produced to promote Norton anti-virus in Japan.

Although I'm inclined to agree with you according to Wikipedia Norton Fighter is considered a hero to Akihabara. However this is Wikipedia and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Now a local hero created by Shotaro Ishinomori Shijetta Kaito

Replace the second "fighter" with hero and I say THIS.
