Recently, it was announced that Ken Ochiai’s classic anime and manga: Tiger Mask will be adapted into a live action movie. Actor Eiji Wentz will be playing the lead role as Tiger Mask and the movie also stars Show Aikwa as Mister X, and Natsuna as the heroine Rukino.
The original manga told the story of Naoto Date’s alter ego: Tiger Mask, whom is a feared wrestler in America and extremely vicious in the ring. But after returning to Japan, Tiger Mask meets a young boy that idolized him as a villain, the boy lived in the same orphanage that he grew up in. Tiger Mask is inspired to be a more heroic wrestler. The movie adaption however, is an origin story that pits Tiger Mask against an evil Wrestling organization. Tiger Mask’s costume receives a modern update, making him look closer to an American comic book super hero. The film is set to premiere in Japanese Theaters this November, and a brief launch trailer has been released: |

Looking at photos of the original Tiger Mask, I'm kinda glad they did this resign.
The old one hasn't aged very well. |

Is it weird that before I saw the live action part, I thought this topic was going to be about the wrestler Tiger Mask?

It's all the same. I haven't kept on who was the last Tiger Mask was or even if there is one still around. But I support the idea of this movie and crossovers with real Japanese wrestling. As boring as American wrestling is lately , I really should look into it.

Tiger Mask is supposed to be a pro wrestler. This new suit is pretty stupid in that context.

Ehh, I don't mind. Unless they wanted to make it look VERY 1960's, I think it works out okay.
