Originally published as a Japanese manga in 1968, Tiger Mark tells the story of a wrestler and superhero who plays by the rules even though he competes in a dirty sport. A new action movie of the same name sticks closely with the original plot.
Young orphan Naoto Date (Eiji Wentz) undergoes years of wrestling training arranged by the evil organization Tiger's Cave and becomes a skillful wrester known as Yellow Devil.
After meeting his old friend Ruriko (Natsuna Watanabe) from the orphanage, he agrees to leave Tiger's Cave and change his wrestling name to Tiger Mark, with the goal of donating his winnings to the orphanage. Tiger Mark fights many villainous wresters from Tiger's Cave who plan to assassinate him inside the ring.
See how Tiger Mark survives against these villains on 9 January in cinemas.
