Sakuran Boy DT

Synopsis

The Geisha Tokyo Entertainment company announced on Wednesday that it is producing and airing Sakuran Boy DT, described as "Japan's first" Flash-animated television series centered on a local costumed hero character. The character's name is a play on the Japanese translation for "cherry boy"—slang for a male virgin in Japanese—and the Sakuranbo television station located in the northeastern Japanese city of Yamagata. The story follows Satou-kun, an ordinary high school boy who transforms into Sakuran Boy DT to save the mayor's daughter from the evil secret society Zaou. Sakuranbo has released a trailer online, and the 11 five-minute weekly episodes will premiere on this station on January 14.
