“My Hero Academia” Spin-off Anime ‘Vigilantes’ Episode 1 Synopsis and Preview Released! Shuichiro Umeda, who plays Koichi, says, "I can't see him as a stranger."

The first episode of the TV anime ‘My Hero Academia: Vigilantes’, titled "I'm Here," will begin airing on April 7th (Monday), and its synopsis and preview have been released. Additionally, an official comment from Shuichiro Umeda, who voices Koichi, has arrived in anticipation of the first episode.

This work is an official spin-off series of the hugely popular comic ‘My Hero Academia’ by Kohei Horikoshi, which was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (published by Shueisha) for 10 years and concluded last August. It narrates the episodes of a shocking encounter between an ordinary college student, Koichi Haimawari, an underground idol, Pop, and a janitor, Knuckle. Besides the powerful action scenes that utilize unique abilities, the active roles of professional heroes familiar to ‘HeroAca’ fans are also a highlight.
