Bushiroad, the company behind the anime Cardfight!! Vanguard and producer of collectible card games and trading cards such as ChaosTCG, Jewelpet Trading Card Game and King of Pro-Wrestling, will be producing a live action show entitled Fire Leon. The motif will wrap around pro wrestling.
Fire Leon is touted to represent Local Heroes produced in various cities in Japan. Local Heroes are Japanese fictional characters created by various groups or even some departments of the local government to advocate or promote their region. These characters perform in special martial arts stage shows and patterned after famous Japanese tokusatsu superheroes. With this, there will be guest appearances from these Local Heroes as well as members of New Japan Pro-Wrestling Federation.
