'Youth Scandal') in Japan,[2] is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game released by Sega for arcades in 1985 and for the Master System on January 31, 1986.

It starts out with the player character (named Takeshi in Japan, and Steven according to the European arcade flyer)[9] on a city street watching as a street thug runs off with his girlfriend (named Remy, also according to the arcade flyer, Mari in Japan).

Soon (after jumping across platforms and dodging fireballs) Steven arrives on a beach and fights the thug that has captured Remy.

In Japan, Game Machine listed My Hero on their August 1, 1985, issue as being the most successful table arcade unit of the month.
