Actors Yuki Saito, Yoko Minamino, and Yui Asaka appeared at the event "Sukeban Deka Festival in Goodbye Marunouchi Toei" held at the movie theater "Marunouchi Toei" (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) on June 7th. At the event, stories from the time of the broadcast were shared.
"Sukeban Deka" is based on a manga serialized by Shinji Wada in "Hana to Yume" (Hakusensha) from 1976 to 1982. After the serialization ended, the first season of the TV series, "Sukeban Deka," aired from April to October 1985, and was well-received for its unique atmosphere, such as the contrast between Saito's appearance and the character, and the style reminiscent of a special effects hero, making it an instant hit. Continuing that popularity, the second season, "Sukeban Deka II: Shojo Tetsukamen Densetsu," starring Minamino, aired from November 1985 to October 1986. The third season, "Sukeban Deka III: Shojo Ninpocho Densetsu," featuring Asaka and the three Kazama sisters, aired from October 1986 to October 1987.
Its popularity was not limited to television; a sequel to "II," the film "Sukeban Deka," was released in 1987, and a theatrical version of "III," "Sukeban Deka: Kazama Sisters Strike Back," was released in 1988. These films made a name for themselves as representative school action films in Japan.
