This action comedy reimagines the iconic Muteking, The Dashing Warrior for a new generation, as our hero, Muteki, arrives in Neo San Francisco from the country and meets DJ. When monsters suddenly attack, DJ’s music transforms Muteki into Muteking, as the two team up to save the city…with dance!

A legendary team-up between Tatsunoko Production (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ping Pong the Animation) and Tezuka Production (Dororo, The Quintessential Quintuplets), MUTEKING THE Dancing HERO stars voice actors:
- Kentarou Mashiro (Micchiri Wanko! Animation) as Muteki
- Takuya Eguchi (Tokyo Revengers, given) as DJ
- Rie Takahashi (Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, Laid-Back Camp) as Aida
- Satoshi Hino (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, OVERLORD) as CEO
Funimation will stream MUTEKING THE Dancing HERO in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand as it airs in Japan, as well as Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Brazil with simulcast dates to be confirmed.
