Yūsha Yoshihiko to Maō no Shiro (勇者ヨシヒコと魔王の城?, lit. "The Hero Yoshihiko and the Demon King's Castle") is a 2011 Japanese television comedy about Yoshihiko, an inept hero who sets out to find the cure to a plague, but ends up fighting a larger evil. Yoshihiko is guided by a comedic Buddha, and accompanied by an incompetent wizard, a woman who wants to kill Yoshihiko because she thinks he killed her father, and a warrior who will kill Yoshihiko as soon as the warrior finishes telling Yoshihiko his stories. Yūsha Yoshihiko is heavily influenced by the RPG game series Dragon Quest, with most of the monsters being directly lifted from the series. It also contains references to other fantasy series and comedies, such as Monty Python.
The second season Yūsha Yoshihiko to Akuryou no Kagi (勇者ヨシヒコと悪霊の鍵?, lit. "The Hero Yoshihiko and the Evil Spirit's Key") was broadcast in 2012. A third season was announced titled Yūsha Yoshihiko to Michibikareshi Shichinin (勇者ヨシヒコと導かれし七人?, "The Hero Yoshihiko and the Seven Chosen Ones") with filming planned in the later half of 2016, and it broadcasts in 2016.
Yūsha Yoshihiko is a young, adventurous child who inevitably becomes The Hero Yoshihiko after the Hero Teruhiko, who went searching for a miracle herb to cure a plague which struck the village, never returned. He pulls a sacred sword from a stone within his village, which determines him as the next Hero. Due to these events, Yoshihiko must embark on a journey to the Evil King's castle to find a cure for the plague that has stricken his village. Along the way, he finds many new companions and allies, who help Yoshihiko reach his ultimate goal.
