Media Blasters has a lot going on in terms of Kamen Rider. But in terms of something a little different, it’s also offering the live-action gag ecchi movie HK/Hentai Kamen (also called HK: Forbidden Super Hero). The film is 105 minutes long, and it will become available on Blu-ray September 10. People can watch it with a new English dub, or in Japanese with subtitles.
The movie was adapted from the gag manga The Abnormal Super Hero Hentai Kamen by Keishuu Andou, which has not been licensed in America. The manga consisted of six issues, and it was published in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump between 1992 and 1993.
HK/Hentai Kamen initially came out in 2013, where it did much better than expected at the Japanese box office. That same year it was played at the New York Asian Film Festival, where it took home the Audience Award. This was followed by another movie, HK/Hentai Kamen: The Abnormal Crisis, in 2016.
Here is a trailer for it on YouTube, as put out by Japan Society NYC. You’ll need to watch it on YouTube and prove your age.
Media Blasters gave this description for HK/Hentai Kamen (HK: Forbidden Super Hero):
HK/Hentai Kamen Plot
Kyosuke (Ryohei Suzuki) has inherited his late detective dad’s strong sense of justice and while he tries his best to be macho, he’s mostly used as a punching bag at his school’s martial artsclub. One day, Kyosuke develops an instant crush on a new transfer student, Aiko, andoddly discovers his strange fetish for wearing women’s panties… over his face! This seemingly perverse act inadvertently transforms him into his kinky superhero alter ego “Pervert Mask.” By hiding his face under frilly lingerie, Kyosuke suddenly gains potent superpowers that come in handy when he must protect his beloved Aiko and his fellow classmates from the advances of a lecherous teacher, other equally absurd superheroes, and a sinister gang! When an evil gang boss plots to demolish the school in search of hidden treasure and takes Aiko as his prize, Kyosuke’s sometimes unreliable powers are put to the ultimate test!
