Duklyon: Clamp School Defenders (学園特警デュカリオン Gakuen Tokkei Dyukarion?) is a manga created by Clamp, a Japanese artistic group of four women.
The story features two teenagers on Clamp Campus, Kentarou Higashikunimaru and Takeshi Shukaido, who are called upon occasion to become monster-battling superheroes while wearing armored outfits in this comic parody of typical superhero action based manga for boys. They are ordered about by Eri Chusonji, their team leader and informant who has a violent tendency to strike the heads of her subordinates with a mallet. Additional humor results from the story's primary villain falling madly in love with Eri.
Like Clamp School Detectives, Man of Many Faces and X/1999, the story takes places on the pentagram shaped Clamp campus, founded by the Imonoyama family.
Kentarou, Takeshi, and Eri all appear in a chapter of Tsubasa, another manga by Clamp. They also have cameos in a few episodes of Clamp Campus Detectives and appear in the Clamp in Wonderland anime video
Ashura-ou, the main character's father from Clamp's first manga RG Veda, makes a very brief appearance as a teacher in one of the latter chapters of Duklyon
Duklyon is the name of a bakery at the elite Clamp School. But behind the scenes it's the headquarters for a trio of superheroes also known as Duklyon. When music blares over the loudspeakers the heroes jump down a chute inside an oven to their secret lair. Kentarou Higashikunimaru and Takeshi Shukaido are childhood friends who excel in different areas of athletics (track and field for Kentarou, kendo for Takeshi) and they do most of the physical work. The group is headed by Eri Chusonji, who rarely gets her hands dirty but is all too ready to beat up Kentarou and Takeshi over their antics. Then there's the mysterious General, who issues out Duklyon's missions.
