Eagle Talon (秘密結社 鷹の爪, Himitsu Kessha Taka no Tsume, lit.
Secret Society Eagle Talon) is a Japanese Flash animation created by former Shimane Prefecture resident Ryo Ono (FROGMAN) and produced by DLE.
[4][5] The series turns the classic superhero formula on its head, making the ostensibly “evil” team of villains the protagonists of the story, and the traditional superhero of the series, Deluxe Fighter, a narcissistic and largely incapable bully.
[7] Originally conceived in 2006 as part of Frogman’s “The Frogman Show” animation block on TV Asahi,[8] the Eagle Talon franchise has expanded into a nationally recognized property, spanning six seasons, one short film, two spinoff series, eight feature-length films (including a crossover with DC Entertainment's Justice League), a number of mobile games hosted on the popular Gree and Mobage platforms, merchandise and more.
Japan Rail, Toho Cinemas, Toys 'R' Us, Capcom, Sanrio, NTT Docomo, Hulu Japan[10] and a number of other Japanese and International businesses have promoted their products and services with Eagle Talon's characters.
