Kaiketsu Noutenki ( 快傑のーてんき , Kaiketsu Nōtenki ) , is a series of tokusatsu fan film parodies produced by Daicon Films (later Gainax) . A parody of the 1977 Toei superhero show Kaiketsu Zubat (created by Shotaro Ishinomori ), the title hero of this series has the same exact alter-ego, Ken Hayakawa, only he is a comically fat fanboyish young man wearing the same exact gringo cowboy attire. As Noutenki, Ken Hayakawa is decked out in a pink & red jumpsuit (with a "no"/の on the chest), fixed navy blue galoshes, blue gloves, white hood and a yellow crash helmet. He rides a fixed scooter.
