Here's the full trailer for the live-action adaptation of the 1960s anime and manga classic, Tiger Mask. The character was created by Ikki Kajiwara, and the story centers on a wrestling hero who fights evil to protect the children of an orphanage.
The film stars Eiji Wentz (Brave Story) as the hero, Natsuna Watanabe (Gantz, Kimi ni Todoke) as the heroine, Ruriko and Show Aikawa (Zebraman) as Mister X. Here's a little more information on the film and its story, thanks to Anime News Network:
"Tiger Mask" is the alter ego of the character Naoto Date, a pro wrestler who goes against an evil wrestling organization and fights for children in an orphanage. In the new setup for the film, Date dons a special suit and "transforms" into Tiger Mask with enhanced mobility and muscle strength. His mask has also been redesigned with a nod to American comic action heroes such as Spider-Man and Batman.

We're not overly familiar with this one but we soon will be. Here comes a teaser for the new movie directed by Ken Ochiai, based upon the manga series "Tiger Mask" by Ikki Kajiwara. The film has attracted a lively cast however, including the likes of Eiji Wentz (Kitaro and the Millennium Curse), Natsuna (Gantz), and Shô Aikawa (Dead or Alive). The Tiger Mask persona is instantly recognisable by its trademark mask, designed to look like a tiger's head, as well as the combination of high flying attacks and martial arts in the wrestling ring. This will be the third movie based on the manga, the first two arriving in the 1970s, though the Tiger Mask persona has continued to appear in wrestling arenas since that time. The Tiger Mask opens its cape and its doors sometime in November 2013. The teaser trailer doesn't give much away but it will certainly do for now.

The film stars Eiji Wentz (Brave Story) as the titular hero, Natsuna Watanabe (Gantz, Kimi ni Todoke) as the heroine, Ruriko and Show Aikawa (Zebraman) as Mister X. This new interpretation focuses on lead hero Naota Date, who fights in opposition to an evil wrestling organization and to save a children's orphanage. Date was actually at one time a member of the evil organization, Tora no Ana, before setting down the path to become a hero. The original manga ran from 1968 to 1971 in such publications as Weekly Shōnen Magazine while the anime aired in 1969. Many real-life Japanese wrestlers have donned the 'Tiger Mask' persona over the years. The manga recently became popular again in Japan after a mysterious donation was made a few years back to a children's organization which sparked others to contribute in what became known as "The Tiger Mask" movement.

Director: Katsuhide Motoki. Review: Adam Wing. If you go down to the woods today, there’s a very good chance you’ll find me there too. It’s time to head back to Gegege Forest for the second feature length adaptation of Mizuki Shigeru's popular manga series. Kitaro and friends hopped aboard the magic carpet in 2007 with a blockbuster live-action movie that made over 2.3 billion yen (Us$25 million) at the box office. Kitaro and the Millennium Curse, once again directed by Motoki Katsuhide, followed close behind in 2008. Eiji Wentz reprises his role as half-human, half-yokai hero Kitaro, and the rest of the cast return too. Which means Catgirl (Rena Tanaka) is back to light up the screen with her feline ferocity, and we have to put up with even more of Ratman, but maybe he’s learnt a little something about restraint this time around. Then again maybe not, farting is still funny though,...

Director: Katsuhide Motoki. Review: Adam Wing. Take a seat class; it’s time for History 101. Yokai (apparitions, spirits or demons by any other name) are a class of obake, creatures in Japanese folklore that often possess part animal and part human features (e.g. Kappa and Tengu). Yokai generally have a sort of spiritual or supernatural power, which means encounters with human beings can be quite dangerous. Yokai also have different motives and agendas to humans, which are often completely incomprehensible. Incomprehensible, glad we cleared that up then. Kitaro is a film adaptation of the legendary manga and anime series, which stars pop star Eiji Wentz and Mao Inoue. Kitaro is a half-human/half yokai who takes on the responsibility of maintaining balance between the human world and the creatures that inhabit the forest of Gegege. His father is an eyeball, yes you read that right, his father is an eyeball.
