Did you know❓ 👉 Ōgon Bat (Japanese: 黄金 バット, Hepburn: Ōgon Batto, literally "Golden Bat") is a Japanese superhero created by Suzuki Ichiro and Takeo Nagamatsu in 1931 who originally debuted in a kamishibai (paper theater). 👉 Ōgon Bat is considered by some to be the world's first superhero, and is a precursor to later superhero characters such as the Japanese kamishibai character Prince of Gamma (debut early 1930s), and the American comic book characters Superman (debut 1938) and Batman (debut 1939). 👉 Ōgon Bat was created by sixteen-year old Takeo Nagamatsu and twenty-five year old Suzuki Ichiro in 1931 and was named after the Golden Bat cigarette brand. The two were inspired by drawings of mythological characters in Tokyo's Ueno Royal Museum to create a new hero based on science rather than mythology. The character debuted in a kamishibai, a type of traveling show in which a sequence of pictures are shown, narrated by a storyteller. 👉 The character was popular enough to survive the decline of kamishibai following World War II, and was eventually adapted into manga (including one by Osamu Tezuka) and anime. 👉 The character featured in three live-action movies: Ôgon Bat: Matenrô no Kaijin, released in 1950; Ôgon Batto, released in 1966; and the comedy biopic Ôgon Batto ga Yattekuru, released in 1972. He also appeared in a 52-episode anime series that aired on Nippon TV from 1967 to 1968. #Hero #Superhero #superheroine #superheroes #Action #Adventure #comic #power #sciencefiction #fantasy #character #黄金バット #Tokusatsu #ogonbat #SacredGuardianSinga #comic #power #特撮 #Asia #Japanese #sciencefiction #fantasy #kaiju #Godzilla #Gamera #KamenRider #MetalHero #mecha #Ultraman #SuperSentai https://www.instagram.com/p/CICV-pFhkQO/?igshid=w7zgkeo6ruw1
