The Yellow Devil
A mysterious and feared masked wrestler named Tiger Mask, who has already made headlines throughout the Americas for his notorious dishonesty, returns to Japan. Regarded with disfavor by the entire Japan Pro-Wrestling Association, he is immediately ostracized; the only one who seems to understand him, despite everything, is Giant Baba, a respected and extremely honest pro-wrestler. Kenta, a boy living in the Chibikko House orphanage, despite everything and everyone, shows—uniquely among the children—a tremendous admiration for Tiger Mask. The two young people who currently run this shelter for abandoned children are also former orphans, a brother and sister: Kenta reminds him strongly of their old friend Naoto Date at his age, who ran away over ten years earlier and never returned, when after a visit to the zoo, standing in front of the tiger's cage, he resolutely declared that he too wanted to one day become as strong as a tiger...
