Tekken Chinmi

テッケンチンミ

Aired: 1988

A martial arts action anime based on Takeshi Maekawa's manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine. Broadcast on the TV Asahi network, it follows Chinmi, a young monk at Dairin Temple deep in the Chinese mountains, as he trains and matures through journeys to master the secrets of kung fu. Drawing on actual Chinese martial arts techniques and philosophy, the series depicts sweat-and-pain training, bonds with comrades and earnest duels with formidable rivals in a passionate tone, standing in the lineage of late-Showa martial-arts boys' anime.
