Tottemo! Luckyman (とっても!ラッキーマン Tottemo! Rakkīman?, lit. "Absolutely! Luckyman") is a Japanese manga series created by Hiroshi Gamō for the shōnen anthology magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump. Running between 1993 and 1997, this gag comedy series focused on the adventures of a bizarre superhero on his fights against various aliens and other enemies threatening the planet Earth. The series also was represented in an anime series created by Studio Pierrot, two separate video games (for both the Game Boy and Super Famicom) as well as representation in the cross-over games Jump Ultimate Stars and J-Stars Victory VS.
Yōichi Tsuitenai was the unluckiest boy in his hometown. Until one day, his luck truly ran out when he was crushed by an alien spaceship, killing him. But, in this time of need, he was discovered by the great super hero of the cosmos, Lucky Man, who fused with him giving him the power to turn into the universe's luckiest superhero. But now Yōichi, as Luckyman, must defend the Earth from aliens invading to conquer it, with the help of his sidekick, Doryokuman, their friend Superstarman, and three others, Shoriman, Yujoman, and Tensaiman.
The NAI NAI 16 (ナイナイシックスティーン), also known as the "Best 16 Super Heroes", is an elite team of 16 special heroes assembled by the chairman of the Hero Committee, an organization for super heroes, located on a hero-populated planet called the Hero Star. The team is formed up of the main team of six heroes selected by the Chairman as elites to fight aliens on earth, and 10 contestants from the 1053rd Hero Tournament that all won. "Nai-nai" is an onomatopoeia for the sound created when the 16 heroes all fire their beams at something.
