MKP (Mobile Knight Police) Project

Sunred · Today, 09:45 AM

An X account under the monthly Japanese tokusatsu-centric hobby magazine Uchusen has posted a picture of what might be new tokusatsu-related content by Metal Hero alumnis Masaru Yamashita and Koichi Nakayama of Winspector and Solbrain fame. Here's a rough translation of the original post.

"A new project titled 'MKP'* by Mr. Masaru Yamashita and Mr. Koichi Nakayama's M&K Project along with C.A.T., which helped produce the sofubi for 'Z-END,'** begins!!?

Further information will be available in 'Uchusen vol.191,' on sale December 27th......!!"

Check out this link for the teaser image.

* This looks to be a pet project by Yamashita, Nakayama, C.A.T. (https://www.c-a-tokyo.com/), and Uchusen magazine. I hope this ends up being something on par with Masahiro Inoue's Jisariz.
** Z-END is a tokusastu hero manga by Kenichi Muraeda, the creator of the Kamen Rider Spirits manga.

A pet project, huh. So this isn't related to the new show replacing Sentai on TV Asahi? Either way, more Metal Hero content is good!

Looks like it. If it ends up being something small in scope though, I reckon they'd make a scale-sized figure and do a photo novel series like the old SIC Hero Saga stuff that used to be published monthly in one of the hobby magazines in Japan. I guess we'll find out after Christmas this year since the magazine releases two days after.
I don't expect a full-on show at the moment like Jisariz for now, but if they go big, I hope it's at least something like a photo novel series with live action photos of the suit in action to help the readers imagine the narrative a little better. The best case scenario of course would be a show or movie of some kind.

that's strange this.

Curious to see how this turns out.

Cute. But I personally get more of a B-fighter and even the KR Kabuto Armor formvibe from the suit.
