"Be THE HERO" is a special project commissioned by the Metropolitan Government of Tokyo in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. The project pairs up top Paralympics athletes in Japan with some of the best known shounen manga artists to create cool illustrations of the athletes in manga style in order to raise awareness of the efforts and achievements of physically disabled athletes in Japan, as well as encourage others with similar conditions.

Check out the collaborations among some of the most heroic people in Japan, complete with an awesome video of them in action!
