DMM TV, the comprehensive streaming service by DMM, has released an exclusive special ending for the live-action drama Wingman. This limited-edition version is only available to DMM TV subscribers and serves as a tribute to the original anime’s iconic ending.

The Story Behind Wingman

Originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump (1983–1985), Wingman is the debut work and one of the most iconic creations of renowned manga artist Masakazu Katsura, known for Video Girl Ai and I"s. The live-action adaptation follows the story of Kenta (played by Maito Fujioka), a high school sophomore and tokusatsu hero enthusiast.

With the help of his friends, Kenta creates his own hero persona, "Wingman," complete with handmade suits and weapons. His life takes an unexpected turn when Aoi (Konatsu Kato), a mysterious girl from the otherworldly realm of Podrimus, appears on Earth. Using the power of the "Dream Note," Kenta gains the ability to transform into Wingman for five minutes, setting the stage for a thrilling adventure.

Faithful Adaptation with Stunning Visuals

Directed by Koichi Sakamoto, known for his work in tokusatsu and action films, the series brings Katsura’s imaginative world to life. Katsura himself serves as the "General Supervisor" to ensure the adaptation stays true to the source material.

The cast includes rising stars such as Maito Fujioka and Konatsu Kato, alongside established talents like Mamoru Miyano and Akio Otsuka, delivering a blend of action, drama, and nostalgia for fans of the original series.

Tribute to the Anime Ending with "WING LOVE"

The final episode, DMM TV Special Ending, offers a unique version of the ending. It combines key scenes from the live-action drama with cuts from Katsura’s original manga, paying homage to the classic anime’s ending sequence. Accompanied by the iconic theme song "WING LOVE," this special ending elevates the emotional impact of the finale, making it a must-watch for fans.
