The first teaser for the upcoming live action adaptation of Ken Ochiai's Tiger Mask manga. Actor Eiji Wentz (Gegege no Kitao, Brave Story) leads the film which is said to be scheduled for live action movie trilogy.
Also included in the cast are Show Aikawa (Tokyo Zombie, Zebraman) and Natsuna (Kimi ni Todoke, Gantz) as Mister X and the heroine Ruriko, respectively. Instead of a tiger-like mask similar in the manga, it has been redesigned with a nod to American comic action heroes such as Spider-Man and Batman.
As an origin story for children who have never read the manga, the film will devote about one-third of its screen time to Date's roots in the evil wrestling training organization Tora no Ana (before he turned his back on the organization).
Tiger Mask premieres November 2013.

Dammit, I misread Tiger & Bunny.
I thought Tiger Mask was a wrestler not a dark action hero
