Gekko Kamen made his TV series debut in 1950s and scored up to 68% of an audience rating. The film Gekko Kamen is based on the TV series and who set the standard as Japan’s first liveaction TV superhero. Not like traditional Samurai or heroes with supernatural powers, Gekko Kamen rides a motorcycle and armed with two six-shooters and shows the mercy of Buddha by forgiving the enemies instead of killing them.
