【Overview】
In the 1980s, "Wingman" by Masakazu Katsura was published in Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump." During the golden age of Jump, which was filled with popular works, it established a unique position and received high popularity and acclaim. At that time, an anime adaptation and a game adaptation had been realized. After 40 years since its serialization, this time, it has been adapted into a live-action drama for the first time.
The director and action director for all episodes is Koichi Sakamoto, a leading figure in the special effects and action film industry, who has worked on series such as Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, and Ultraman.
For the live-action adaptation, the original author Masakazu Katsura was involved as "General Supervisor," and ideas were generously incorporated to ensure a seamless conversion without any sense of incongruity.
Furthermore, a fresh and talented cast, including the up-and-coming Makoto Fujioka, along with staff who hold a sincere respect for the original work, have gathered.
Through this "ideal live-action adaptation" that many fans dreamed of, "Wingman" has gained a new fan base. Further growth and development are expected.
【Story】
Kenta Hirono (Makoto Fujioka), who has dreamed of becoming a "hero" since childhood and was obsessed with TV tokusatsu hero shows, wears a self-made costume, mimics hero techniques and poses, and boldly admonishes delinquents who break the rules of the town.
One day, he encounters a mysterious beautiful girl, Aoi (Kona Kato). Aoi has come to this three-dimensional world to escape from evil hands trying to dominate the otherworldly dimension Podrimus.
Kenta draws about the imaginary hero "Wingman" in the "Dorem Note" that Aoi possesses. Suddenly, Kenta is able to transform into Wingman. However, in the three-dimensional world, assassins targeting Aoi appear one after another.
Can Wingman, Kenta, fulfill his hero duty?
