肉の日 Kinnikuman Day 2/9 - Kinnikuman Go Fight! 

31 years ago today on February 9th, 1980, Kinnikuman volume 1 was released by Jump Comics.  The date itself is rather significant in Kinnikuman lore as 2月9日 (2 = ni, 9 = ku) = 肉の日 or Niku Day...

In celebration of this historic event, the Nakano Broadway Mandarake Microkan is throwing a huge 肉の日 (Niku Day) event featuring everything from rare Kinkeshi and classic action figures to obscure Kinnikuman promotional items from years gone by.

  1. Going to be sporting a Kinnikuman T at work on 2/9 and coming home to read some Kinnikuman and maybe even get in a few episodes of the cartoon.

    Drop a comment to let me know if you will be doing anything to show your Kinniku pride ~ 肉
