Q9: Tiger Mask

I can't find the anime translated into English anywhere.  I'm still looking ...  It's apparently big in Italy - who knew?

This is the trailer from the show.  Be kind.  It's over 40 years old.

Tiger Mask does have an association with an orphanage.  He was trained in the States and was known for being vicious.  When he overheard a child state he wanted to be like the evil Tiger Mask, he changed his ways and became a force for good.  His past still haunts him.  When he himself was in an orphanage, he was told to fight dirty and to give half of his earnings to the place.

I'll link the Italian clip as well.  Some of that storyline is more apparent in their version.

Watch and respond.

Here's the Japan one.

This is Italy.

The lyrics kill me.  I love the Italian twist but don't understand a word of it except for "tigre" and only because it's the same in Spanish, I think.

What is Il Uomo?  Italian scholars?
