Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Katsura's Wingman predates his iconic Video Girl Ai and essentially invented the 'girl from fiction becomes real' trope that dominated 90s anime.

Trivia

Maito Fujioka is the son of legendary tokusatsu actor Hiroshi Fujioka (Kamen Rider), making this a stealth father-son hero legacy moment.
