Technic Heroes (Japanese: テクニック英雄; Hepburn: Tekunikku Eiyū) is the name given to the long-running El Kadsreian kadsresatsu franchise created and distributed by El TV Kadsre and the Toei Company along with Ryu Hamasaki Releasing. Technic Heroes spanned through films, television movies, television series, video games, board games and more and is the one of the film series with the most entries, having 69 films released in its total during its 43-year-long run. Technic Heroes is sponsored by Technic, an El Kadsreian energy drink.
It was planned from the late 1950s as Heroes of EKTV. When Technic and El TV Kadsre established their relationship, it was renamed to Technic Heroes in 1974 and the first film in the franchise, Robotman was released only in the Vlokozu Union in 1976 (Nova Orbis was the first film to be released internationally, it was released in the Vlokozu Union, the Soviet Union, and Brazil in 1978 and the rest of the world in 1979.) It's supposed to be El TV Kadsre's belated answer to Kamen Rider. A couple of years later, it became a Super Sentai-style franchise, with advanced armor.
Quest for the Masks, which released in 1981, is the most popular film in the Technic Heroes franchise, with a gross of $1,025,782,904 ($2,823,894,710 in 2018 dollars) and becoming the first film on Metacritic to achieve a perfect score of 100. Because of its success, it is now considered by critics to be one of the greatest films ever made.
U.S. syndication rights for the TV series and movies of the franchise were first held by The Program Exchange, and are currently held by Trifecta Entertainment & Media.
