Tatakae!! Ramenman
Encyclopedia
, also known as Lomien Man, is a manga
authored by the duo of Yudetamago
that was serialized in Shueisha
's Fresh Jump magazine from June 1982 to December 1988 (concluding along with the cancellation of the magazine itself). The title is a spin-off
of the authors' previous work, Kinnikuman
, centering around the character of Ramenman
, who travels the land to fight various enemies. Like its predecessor, it was adapted into an anime
version by Toei Animation
, which spans a 35-episode television series that aired on Nippon Television
in 1988 and a theatrical film. A video game for the Family Computer
was published by Bandai
in 1988.
Since the Ramenman in this series seems to have no direct connection to Kinnikuman's Ramenman, it is assumed that this series is about Ramenman's past before he met Kinnikuman. There is also the belief that this Ramenman is supposed to be the ancestor
of Kinnikuman's Ramenman.
