Japan Local Hero Great Battle Film Announced!

Posted on August 1, 2015 at 2:14 pm by Den-O under General Tokusatsu News

This is definitely an interesting one. While TokuNation can’t always cover the numerous Local Heroes (gotchi heroes) of Japan, we do on occasion try to bring you as much information on the larger projects as possible. Well this is quite possibly the largest Local Hero project since the ambitious Fire Leon franchise! Announced today is the Nihon Local Hero Daikessen film (Japan Local Hero Great Battle) which was recently crowdfunded into production!

Unlike the annual Super Hero Taisen films produced by Toei, this film seeks to be unify the various Local Heroes of Japan with a theme of friendship. Admittedly there are so many local Japanse heroes I doubt we’d be able to run down the whole list of those appearing in the movie, but it looks like many major and popular regional favorites such as the cast of Yatsurugi, Ibaraiga, Cosmo Flasher, & MANY more will appear!

Nihon Local Hero Daikessen is set for release on November 14th!

    So here is something that is not the typical Toei, Toho or Tsubaraya stuff.

    After a successful crowdfunding campaign, a movie that is going to feature local heroes of Japan will be released November 14th.
    The title is Nihon Local Hero Daikessen(translates as Japan Local Hero Great Battle) and will have various local heroes(called 'gotochi hero' in Japan) on the silver screen.
    Below are the heroes that will participate:




    According to the site, the theme of the movie is [friendship] and is aiming to make an action movie where heroes will join forces and defeat evil.

    Details of the heroes and about the film can be found on this site: http://movie.yatsurugi.net/

    While this looks cool, I doubt it'll be very good. I know these companies can work miracles with effects, but a lot of these local heroes are just custom cosplayers going around doing good deeds. Like a few people do here in the US. So my question is, what will the plot be for the movie?

    If this doesn't turn out to be the Japanese Mystery Men, I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

    This sounds really fun. Even if there aren't subs I'd definitely check out the raw.

    I quite enjoy the guy who looks like a red King Ranger with a cape. From what I gather his name is Red Fire BBQ and I love him

    This is really cool, and a great idea for a movie. I've always liked the local hero concept.
